Myself, I'm stacking the deck with a lot of things to experience and hope I don't reach the end of the list before the end, since I want to do everything...I hope I don't have to check off being eaten by an animal.

I have been doing a bunch of step-by-step lost wax casting and writing descriptions of it. I find I am using the same words for results at different steps, which becomes awkward if I want to refer back to a previous step. There are probably nice standard names but I don't know them because of being self taught from a variety of sources.
Like this
1. Make a clay model that represents 1/3 of the final object. Positive?
2. Coat this with latex molding material to make a negative copy. Negative? Soft Negative?
3. Back the latex with plaster to support it. Support Negative?
4. Pour wax into the supported mold. Wax Positive?
5. Repeat to make 2 more copies.
6. Use heat to weld the 3 pieces into a wax - what? Positive, Wax Original?
7. Add venting and sprues for casting. Call it?
8. Encase the wax positive with investment. Mold!
This gets a more complicated when the surrounding for the wax is in sections as in making a large statue.
9. Heat to melt the wax out

You have a wish to get a very important something - a love, a sense, a gift -
would you rather -
1 - never have the something because their is a great rick to getting it? (a risk where you could maybe die)
2- get the "something" but have to deal with losing it and never getting it again? (you would be deeply depressed without it)

just provide your answer, why, the reason for choosing, and what you would want

thanks

In a photography video I saw in class the other night, the lady used a vinyl pull down window shade and used several colors of paints and made a beautiful backdrop. Has anyone seen this video or used this idea to make a backdrop? I'm on a budget and thought this might work and allow me to paint, my other hobby.

hi i would like to paint an acrylic painting, approx 20"X24"
should i use an archival canvas panel or stretched canvas?
i want it to look pro, and i want it to last. i also want protection.
what're the cons of archival canvas panels??
if i use stretched canvas i probably won't frame it (how do you even frame it?)
thanks

Like it does everything to either make you want to lose faith in life and love completely...or harden and numb your heart like most people....like it wants to turn all your love to bitterness or indifference...and if not...you're doomed to be miserable and melancholic...crawling..staggering like a wounded animal..groping blindly in the dark til you reach the edge
of your pointless existence.

The story doesn't sound as interesting, and apparently Grant, Lex, and Tim don't make appearances. I rather thought that Malcolm and Harding were not very interesting either in contrast to the other characters mentioned.

Who's The Conductor?


I've never had a problem
With hearing the beat of
That
Different Drummer...

Not even when I knew I
Was listening to
The whole, damned
Orchestra...

There's always something
Worse...

Who's the Conductor
Of that Orchestra?
