[ Hangout-with-benefits ] : Summer party, yes/yes?

[Malfise]

Yeah, I'm going to apply for some office jobs and junk, too. Though I really don't dig working in offices with people. And interacting. And stuff.

[Maeve]

Yeah, that's sorta my problem too. I still have one month of school left, but after that I guess I'll need to find a job for the summer (at least). Blergh, working...

Things would be better if I could just craft/art things and sell them, but I need to find some good idea first.

[Malfise]

Yeah, that's part of why I'm trying to learn crochet, so I can sell stuff online and maybe support myself without having to get a job. I'm trying to get into summer jobs (I still have three months or so), but I might end up just cutting and selling firewood or something, since it's hard to find actual jobs at home.

[Maeve]

Eh, that's sorta why I learned crochet too... My skills are good enough now, I guess, but my problem is finding something I'd like to do and that would sell well. Oh, and pricing too, 'cause crochet takes time and all... I've been thinking about doing some plushies for a while, a bit like this one (I still need to take good photos), maybe it could be a nice project for the summer.

I've been wanting to try watercolor for a while too, and maybe do some illustrations thingies (personal work sold like prints, and maybe commissions if I get confident enough).

-curls into thread and sleeps-

crocheting is confusing to me. ;-; probably because i don't have the patience to learn it. or the time. oh well

Yay pretty crochet things!

[Sly]

Crochet? My cousin and grandma both crochet. My brain does not get. I'm not very patient and already have a butt-ton of hobbies that I switch between taking up my time. xD; But yay for those with the patience to make pretty things!

[Catghost]

Indeed! The City near me is having a yarn bomb this summer, so am excited to see how that goes. My mom is donating some crocheted stuff too.

[Sly]

Yarn bomb? :O I just got THE, most likely inaccurate but still, most amazing mental image of that.

[Catghost]

XD It's awesome.

Apparently people knit/crochet things to replace the real thing - like tree trunks and cars aaaand stuff.

[Maeve]

I so want to make that and cover the cubes in front of uni...
Next year maybe. I'm sure some of my art teachers would appreciate that.

[Sly]

That is so cool!~ Wish some place around where I am would do something like that....

[Catghost]

Maybe you could put together something? Our art museum is the one coordinating it.

Hello thread and people!
Gosh, I can't believe a month already went by since the last time I posted here...

Hm, anyway, I'm updating the front page right now with some new rules and things that will hopefully work better. And I'm also making a list of people I owed drawings to, and then I'll draw them. Ugh...

Anyway, someone keep me company, yes?

[Juneberry]

Hello somewhat lonely looking lounge. I should choose a place to stay, but it's hard right now. I wonder if anyone else is around though? It'd be nice to play with someone for a while~

[Maeve]

Hello there!
Well, Midorea is a nice place to stay... Too bad I still need to sleep sometimes.
