sporky_ratI've been not exactly pleased with the glow effect on the carved teeth I did in my leather mask for my Tainted character for Dystopia Rising. I've been giving thought to how to get a better concentration of glow in the carved lines, and if I can find the LIT powder, my process should be pretty good here. I got one of the precision glue bottles with the three tips, and I've used the very fine tips to lay a line of paint down in the lines, and it's helping a lot.
Now if I can find the powder to make it even MORE glow, I'll be happy. Fortunately it all dries clear.

I am learning the woodwinds
Monday, 6 July 2026 21:04sporky_ratI have acquired a clarinet and as of today, I know the fingering for five notes (C, D, E, F, and G), and only squeaked a couple of times while figuring out the register key (which pops it up an octave). Fortunately music reading is music reading, so my ability to read music for a clarinet is just like reading music for a guitar is just like reading music for a trumpet is just like reading music for a hymn.
I wonder how some of the hymns are for a clarinet?
It is a red clarinet, and I am rather excited to get to play more on it, but I am also having to remind myself that learning is no more than an hour a day because my mouth muscles get tired.
I'm hoping that the delivery tomorrow of the new dressers from Ikea don't come in the middle of my assigned practice time. I almost started looking up my Uncle's phone number on the internet to call him up and ask, "UNCLE ANDREW WHY WILL THE CLARINET NOT MAKE NOISE???" and I shifted my chin and then it made noise! I have to relax my face a lot more than I did playing trumpet.
