fiery @elementalembers.art · 15/09/2026Goosebumps books are super easy reads. With halloween coming up, maybe that's a fun one they can share. A 10 year old could probably read to the younger ones. Check with the parents first but they were pretty tame aside from the ventriloquist dummy ones. 010
fiery @elementalembers.art · 15/09/2026The 10 year old might enjoy the Animorphs books. I feel like they've aged pretty well aside from the '90s references. There are over 50 books, plus side books, but the kid will know if they like it from the first book, imo. No need to invest in more than that, and used copies are easy to find. 010
fiery @elementalembers.art · 10/09/2026Ran out of gloves and can't continue processing my resin prints until more arrive. Annoyed at myself. I'm usually so much better at staying aware of what I have in the house, whether it's food or art supplies. 000
fiery @elementalembers.art · 02/09/2026I'm similarly disappointed when I meet people who think dinosaurs weren't real. :( 020

fiery @elementalembers.art · 18/08/2026It doesnt take away from your larger point, but that's an outdated ingredient list and foodbabe is awful, especially after latching onto the MAHA crap to grift some more. Pepsi got rid of the brominated vegetable oil in their sodas years ago and it's now banned. Canada was similarly late to ban it. 230
fiery @elementalembers.art · 13/08/2026You mentioned OoT. Fwiw, it's not as long of a game by today's standards, so maybe you can get through it once you get your own copy too. :) And there are multiple versions to choose from, including an upcoming remake for the Switch 2. Might be worth waiting to see if there are QoL fixes. 110
fiery @elementalembers.art · 03/08/2026I was happy to see that the official MLP pages credited you! G1 will always have my heart, but these are so pretty! 040
fiery @elementalembers.art · 03/08/2026In case anyone following isnt aware, it's not just an app for a specific area! It's been keeping me aware of a fire 5 miles away here in Utah too, even as local orgs have been super tight-lipped and absolutely failing to give us timely info. The fires have been so bad this year. :( 110
fiery @elementalembers.art · 30/07/2026Ugh, I'm sorry. I used to live next to Hill Air Force base and the F-35s were the main reason we moved to a rural town. Anywhere nearby was just too much. 010
fiery @elementalembers.art · 29/07/2026Models by CarolaFunder. Printed by me in standard resin. Painted with acrylic paint, alcohol inks, and pan pastels. Sealed in matte finish. I'm very pleased with them for now, but reserving the option to come back to them later after I build up my painting skills more. 010
fiery @elementalembers.art · 28/07/2026My childhood home had at least two types (himilayan and dewberry) and they were both amazing. Nothing storebought has ever come close to eating them off the vines, warmed by the sun. I'd grow them here in northern utah if i could keep them alive/under control haha. 010
fiery @elementalembers.art · 26/07/2026At least the socks folded down so the lace didnt touch my skin, but they went with buckled shoes for church. Awful. Nothing about dressing up for church felt good. I feel bad about it because my mom *made* my Christmas and Easter dresses and that's so much labor. :( I was def. a tomboy too. 020
fiery @elementalembers.art · 25/07/2026Finally got my airbrush gun to work again! The damned thing wouldnt align quite right after cleaning+reassembly and I was getting worried I'd somehow broken it. Back to painting animal figurines tomorrow. :) 020
fiery @elementalembers.art · 21/07/2026Recently returned from a road trip that included a visit to my childhood home. I needed the ocean and redwoods. <3 It felt deeply healing. I need to find a slice of quiet nature here in northern rural Utah, and I don't know of anything that comes close. God, I miss trees. And water. 130
fiery @elementalembers.art · 19/07/2026Theres not anything specific on weed like there is for coffee, tea, alcohol, and tobacco. Its not mentioned in Doctrine&Covenants Section 89 unless you're being cheeky (image attached). Its frowned upon as a mind-altering drug, but can given a pass if prescribed by a doctor for a reason. 010
fiery @elementalembers.art · 13/07/2026I think I was 2003. I mostly painted pokemon fan art and dragons. It was fun. Talented people gave details on how they made their art and gave them stories. It felt like I could get to their level someday with how apporachable that community of actual professional artists felt. Site is terrible now. 010
fiery @elementalembers.art · 27/06/2026Tough to tell from that angle, but were there a lot of extra benches around? In the oakland temple, when i was doing vicarious baptisms for the dead, they told us that sometimes people saw the spirits of people they were getting baptized for, sitting on those benches. 130
fiery @elementalembers.art · 26/06/2026I always thought they looked more like hotel lobbies threw up everywhere. 210
fiery @elementalembers.art · 26/06/2026I was a california mormon teen girl in a former life, and unlike my utah peers, we did not have temples close. Each one was a long drive away. So most girls in my church classes had a favorite temple they daydreamed about marrying in. San Diego and Salt Lake City were the most popular picks by far. 110
fiery @elementalembers.art · 23/06/2026I'm doing resin prints right now, and I use airbrushed acrylic and alcohol inks. I've also been using pan pastels for my horses but I'm still learning! I spray sealers between layers. I've used acrylic on a few FDM prints in the past but didn't have the sanding tools so it was always really rough. 180
fiery @elementalembers.art · 22/06/2026If you're new to painting 3d printed figures, sanding is nonnegotiable, imo. Sand. Clean. Prime. Sand again if you have to. That's applicable to mediums 2d and 3d: impatience to get to the fun part (painting in my case!) needs to wait until there's a good foundation. 1193
fiery @elementalembers.art · 16/06/2026I'm so incapable of tolerating heat. I have been for as long as I can remember. Road trips across Nevada as a kid were tortuous and I spent the car rides pressing ice from the cooler against my face The part of my brain that knows how to focus breaks at 73 degrees. So this day was lost hours ago. 🫠 010
fiery @elementalembers.art · 16/06/2026I felt the same about fish n chips after visiting Wales. There is nothing that comes close here in Utah. Fish n chips and a can of dandelion & burdock soda is perfect on a gloomy wet day. I've seen the mexican food offerings in smaller towns in the UK. That's going to be a tough craving to satisfy. 010

fiery @elementalembers.art · 25/05/2026So if i messed up dinner, I didnt usually have anything substantial to fall back on. I was eating that burned food or going hungry until the next day. 000
fiery @elementalembers.art · 25/05/2026When i first moved out on my own, that was a fear. But most frustrating was not having a fridge. I couldnt buy more than one meal at a time with perishables. I couldnt safely store leftovers (or even produce) in my 100F apartment because it would all go off so fast *and* attract pests. 100
Reposted by fieryRyan Barr @artbyrbarr.bsky.social · 14/05/2026This has been said to death but I'll just say it again: if you're in the creative arts space stop calling your art "content". Call it "work"! Calling your art "work" shows it's the result of time and skill. "Content" makes something sound like it has no purpose other than to take up space. 482197739

fiery @elementalembers.art · 11/05/2026Those are prices for like, tiny town farmers markets. If you're lucky. I know it was rhetorical, but I do wonder if there's a perception that the prices are just kind of in the same ballpark no matter what venue you're tabling at. 010
fiery @elementalembers.art · 04/05/2026Ah, no. The server is just part of the home network. It has some shared drives for multiple devices to access and save to, which makes life easier-- especially jumping between ipad and windows. Backblaze is a company that offers backup services. I'm not sure what their pricing is like now. 000
fiery @elementalembers.art · 04/05/2026My art files are on a server downstairs, and the important folders get backed up every night to Backblaze, encrypted. I shouldn't ever lose more than a day's work. Ideally I would have them saved somewhere else too, but I have a difficult time establishing and keeping habits. 220
fiery @elementalembers.art · 01/05/2026Trying to find any completed traditional pieces to potentially sell at the market Saturday, and realizing I have almost nothing. I do mostly digital work, and I should probably branch out more. 000
fiery @elementalembers.art · 30/04/2026They also sell blanks for the machines that have different backings--so not just pins, but also magnets, tiny mirrors, keychain attachment points. Etc. I have a 2.25 inch one but i know I've seen the various blanks in smaller sizes too. 010

They're quick and easy if you're ok for freezer space and have an air fryer. No cook: Generous cream cheese, garlic salt, and thinly sliced cucumber on baguette. 040
fiery @elementalembers.art · 26/04/2026This is my county and people here are *pissed off* but our local governments arent listening to us. They're also ramming through nuclear reactors in our county after stripping regulations and not being transparent. We don't have the water for the people here. The Great Salt Lake is drying up. 000
fiery @elementalembers.art · 11/04/2026This is true even in places like Utah that don't pay much for those jobs. Restaurants, grocery, and customer service jobs constantly try to reduce hours for employees. 010

fiery @elementalembers.art · 06/04/2026I set up my booth tent yesterday for the first time in the back yard, to make sure it all works. It made it feel more real. :D I'm trying hard to keep my expectations low and remind myself that I'll make mistakes with my first market. It's still a huge step for me to try to sell my art in person. 120
fiery @elementalembers.art · 06/04/2026You can hide all signs of ai in Affinity by removing the canva tab. The same team in the uk is still working on it for now. There's no forced ai use. In order to use ai-assisted object selection, you have to choose to download the model for it. That was also there in Version 2 before acquisition. 160
fiery @elementalembers.art · 03/04/2026It still threw me off the first time I got asked "You all right?" by airport security in the uk. It was different enough to think they wanted an actual answer. 010
fiery @elementalembers.art · 02/04/2026Some of the earliest artwork that was availabble in the US for gen 1 was scanned/edited poorly. Ditto specifically was extremely washed out.

fiery @elementalembers.art · 31/03/2026I've had a lot of fun designing these bookmarks.
