#disposable wooden knives

[woodencutlery]

Disposable wooden cutlery is much more environmentally friendly than plastic cutlery that does not affect the environment while using it. So, avoid plastic and buy wooden cutlery online like spoons, forks, and knives that are sustainable, compostable and made from Birchwood.

So, random thought, but do you think the Dimi girls keep certain possessions from their victims? I keep thinking of Alcina's line, the one about her girls entertaining foreigners.

Especially if their victims were from outside the village with more modern items in their possession, what do you think the sisters would keep? Do they share their collection with each other? Hide them from their mother?

Personally, I think Bela would find the camera feature in smartphones fascinating. Maybe Cassandra would have a whole stash of swiss army knives, and I can see Daniela keeping little trinkets like charms or keychains.

🩵, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ anon

Oh my, I have some thoughts on this!👀

Let’s get into it :)

Masterlists

Bela

She often searches the bodies before disposing of them. Often enough, nothing valuable to her is found on them. Just rocks and dirt, dried blood and what not

Often, she finds some sort of weapon. Usually knives

And while Bela isn’t interested in those, she always takes them and gifts them to Cassandra, who purrs happily each time her older sister swarms into her room and approaches her after a kill

She knows, a gift is waiting for her! And she purrs eagerly as she receives the weapon with a kiss to her forehead

Sometimes, though, Bela finds somewhat rare treasures on her victims

Her favourite finds are jewellery

She always pockets rings and necklaces and is often seen wearing them, even

Bela’s favourite pieces are a silver ring with a red gemstone embedded in it. Along the side are marks and make the steel look almost snake-like

Now, Bela is painfully used to sharing among her sisters. Whether it’s clothing, her items or her room as a whole, more often than not it feels like nothing is truly only hers

This isn’t any different. But she doesn’t necessarily mind

Asides from the ring, she shares all the jewellery with her sisters

While Cassandra doesn’t know interest, Bela occasionally finds her youngest sister digging through the small, wooden box of her plundered jewellery

Usually, to complete her daily look. Bela is happy to help in exchange for the promise that Daniela will try not to cause havoc for a little while

At other times, she can tell her little sister is trying to play dress up using her dresses and Bela’s jewellery

Then, should time permit it, she helps her choose what she wants and even joins in occasionally

As it comes to their mother- well, she is entirely aware of the trio pickpocketing their prey

She picks up on it, naturally, when she finds a necklace adorning her eldest’s neck one day

At first, she is enraged. Has someone dared make moves on her heiress?! Has someone been wooing her precious daughter without her consent nor knowledge?! Fool! No one could ever be good enough!

She summons Bela to her side immediately, demanding to know where the necklace is from

She ponders already: it looks expensive enough, and Bela seems quite content with it. So perhaps this partner of hers isn’t such a bad choice after all

Only there is no partner

Alcina is relieved and disappointed at the same time upon learning that the fine piece of jewellery was just taken from the body belonging to one of Bela’s prey

She does insist all jewellery is cleaned before it is worn, though

Bela couldn’t agree more

Cassandra

She absolutely searches and loots bodies at every given opportunity

“What? I already killed them! I might as well rob them”, is her motto

And she takes- anything, really

There’s barely a thing that doesn’t take her pick

Cassandra is curious and eager, and always searches her prey’s body after drawing a last breath from it

Her favourite finds include weapons and things from the outside world

Often, she finds primitive weapons on her victims

Sharp stones and sticks, sharp kitchen knives or shards of glass

None of these take her interest really. It does make her giggle, though

Did these foolish things believe such weapons could serve them well? The thought amuses her

Sometimes, however, there are rare treasures found within the pockets of her prey

Cassandra loves going after the hunters because of this, even when Alcina scolds her for it. They nearly always carry some sort of fancy weapon with them!

Often, this is a dagger. She always picks those off them

Once, she has found a bow on them, and beautiful, black arrows in the bag her prey had carried

She was over the moons!

Another thing Cassandra considers a great find, is anything at all related to the outside world

She always races through the halls of the castle, her newest find clutched tightly between her fingers

Upon finding Alcina, she swarms in front of her eagerly, bouncing on her toes and holding up what she has in her hand

“Mama, what is it?”, she asks. She begs. She needs to know!

And Alcina? She always explains the items and answers her middle daughter’s seemingly endless questions

Her most prized possession? A camera, found in the pocket of a traveller that must have gotten lost in the woods

It took her many explanations and a demonstration from Alcina to believe what it is

The first time the flash blinded her, Cassandra automatically shrieked and swarmed in response. Her cheeks burned bright pink as her mother cooed and cupped her warm face in loving hands

She couldn’t help her reaction!

Still, from then on she keeps it in her room, hidden away. She’s only used it four more times

Once, to take a picture of her favorite pet, a maid that insulted her older sister and paid the price bitterly by becoming Cassandra’s plaything. The picture is gruesome, the edges soaked in blood. Cassandra loves it, and has it pinned to her wall

The second time she used her camera is on Bela

She can’t explain why, really

In one moment she admired how the flames of the fireplace seemed to reflect in her sister’s eyes, how their beautiful hue of colours danced and threw the light on Bela’s golden hair

How soft her skin looked, how pristine. A body worthy of a goddess. As an artist, Cassandra knew she had to capture this moment. She was in utter awe

In the next moment, a picture is snapped, starting both sisters

She only apologises quietly when scolding comes, yet can’t help but grin when Bela inspects the picture and her scolding turns to praises

“I’ve never looked better”

The third time, is to snap a picture of her younger sister

Having heard that Bela got a picture, of course Daniela wanted one too. Cassandra granted her one, with the condition that she must share half of her snacks each dinner. She grinned when Daniela, albeit groaning, agreed

And lastly, when she urged her sisters to stand next to her mother

All three stood a little confused, until Cassandra shyly held the camera out

Refusing to have a family picture without her fierce little bug, however, Alcina accidentally made the first ever selfie in the castle by holding the camera up and turning it enough to capture all four of them

The photo lies underneath Cassandra’s pillow. A secret only her family knows of. She loves to glance at it before sleeping

As it comes to sharing what she finds…it depends, really

When she finds rare weapons or things of the outside, Cassandra outright refuses to share them with anybody. She keeps them all hidden away in a secret stash in her room

However, she is more than willing to share any finds that don’t take her pick

Daniela

She barely checks her prey’s pockets. Not that she doesn’t want to. She just forgets about it, usually

However, she is the most likeliest of the sisters to find something that takes her pick

Daniela is a little bit of a magpie, if one believes the rumours

She loves shiny things. Often, she can’t help but snatch them

From- anywhere, really

Often she sat with a pouty expression as Bela scolded her and took back her rings

Or when Cassandra stood with her hand at her hip and a glare directed at her younger sister when she caught her try to sneak off with her collection of golden daggers again

Upon slaying her prey, Daniela loses interest fairly fast

She isn’t interested in playing with the corpse, and only devours parts if she’s feeling hungry

It’s mostly about the fun of killing, as it comes to her, really

And often her prey is simply left untouched

However, sometimes something catches her eye. Something shiny among the blood

That never fails to make her happy

Daniela loves to collect all kind of shiny things, and keeps them all in a big bowl in her room

Keys and keychains

Coins

Daggers

Jewellery

Gold or copper

Gemstones

Glittery surfaces

Small rocks that seem to sparkle in the sun

She can’t get enough!

Upon finding such a thing, she is incredibly eager to show it to everyone!

Often, Daniela swarms right into Bela’s bedroom with a new shiny item in her hand

“Look! Look at it! Bela!”

She’s giggling and purring in excitement, uncaring of barging in like that

Bela only sends her a smile, her attention having been fixed on a book that now only has a bookmark sticking out

“What is it?”, Daniela often asks. Often, she doesn’t recognise the shiny things she finds when they stem from the outside

She always counts on her eldest sister to know

Or when she swarms into the basement, her arms wrapping around Cassandra eagerly, uncaring of how her sister nearly impaled her with the scalpel held between her fingers

“Guess what I found!”

Cassandra too, pauses her work and snarls at her prey as Daniela presents her newest, shiny item

She hums, and laughs when she plucks the coin from her sister and the redhead gasps in disbelief

“That’s mine! I’m telling Mother!”

Or, when Alcina Dimitrescu finds herself woken up in the middle of the night, the form of her youngest daughter on top of her stomach as she rambles

“…I found four just like it! Isn’t it amazing? Mother? Mother, are you still awake? Oh, good! I also found this- Mother!”

She simply slips her eyes close again in such cases, her arm raising to tackle her energetic youngest and wrap her up in the blankets

Just as the room quietens down, however, and Alcina believes perhaps this time her little fly falls asleep right away, she hears a quiet whisper in the darkness:

“And then I found this thing too, Mama. It tastes odd”

An MS-13 gang member nicknamed “Little Devil” or “Diablita” has been sentenced to 50 years in prison after she lured a group of men into a Long Island park where they were hacked to death with machetes.

Leniz Escobar, 24, was sentenced by Judge Joseph Bianco on Tuesday for her part in the brutal 2017 murders of Justin Llivicura, 16, Michael Lopez, 20, Jorge Tigre, 18, and Jefferson Villalobos, 18.

On the night of April 11, 2017, Escobar and co-conspirator, Keyli Gomez, drove with the four victims and a fifth man Elmer Alexander Arteaga Ruiz, 22, to a wooded area in Central Islip Park, and texted gang members of their arrival, a federal courthouse heard.

Multiple MS-13 members – Josue Portillo, Freiry Martinez, Alexis Hernandez, Edwin Rodriguez, Sergio Segovia-Pineda, Omar Antonio Villalta, Henry Salmeron, Anderson Sanchez, and others – then attacked the victims with “machetes, knives, an axe, and wooden clubs,” according to testimony at Escobar’s trial.

Ruiz, who survived after managing to run away, testified that the gang members emerged “through a hole in the fence” with their faces covered and circled the victims,The Daily Mail reported.

“They told us get down on our knees. They said, ‘Don’t move. Whoever moves, dies’,” he told the court.

The trial heard how the attack unfolded after Escobar and Gomez found two of the victims had posted photos on social media showing them wearing items and flashing hand signs that suggested they were members of MS-13.

They showed the posts to MS-13 members who confirmed they were not part of the gang and would be killed.

Ruiz testified that his friends had only posted online about MS-13 to impress girls – they “were just high school kids”, he said.

Following the murders, Escobar relished the killings and “licked their blood off her lips”, The New York Post reported a witness testified at her trial.

She bragged to other gang members about her role in the killings and told her boyfriend – who is allegedly a high-ranking member of the Brentwood MS-13 clique – that something had happened to the men, including that one fled and now “knows stuff about me”, prosecutors said.

She then tried to destroy evidence, disposing of one of the victims’ blood-stained sweatshirts, throwing her phone out of a moving vehicle while police followed her, and giving a false alibi for the night of the massacre.

After a four-week trial, Escobar was convicted in April 2022 on charges of predicate acts of murder, conspiracy to murder rival gang members, obstruction of justice, and murder in aid of racketeering.

Following Escobar’s sentencing on Tuesday, Suffolk County Police Acting Commissioner Robert Waring said in a statement: “The senseless and brutal murder of four young people... sent shockwaves across the nation. Leniz Escobar played a significant role in leading four victims to their deaths and will pay the necessary price for her part.”

Over a dozen MS-13 gang members and associates have now been charged in connection with the 2017 murders. Escobar is the fifth to be sentenced.

Gomez previously pleaded guilty to racketeering charges in connection with the murders and testified at Escobar’s trial.

MS-13 was formed by Salvadoran immigrants who came to the US in order to escape the civil war in their home country, according to the Department of Justice. MS-13 is categorized as the most violent criminal gang on Long Island, said prosecutors.

sometimes a doll wants tea that is tea.

sometimes a doll wants tea that is laced with subtle poisons meant for humans.

the tiny yellow crystals of 2,4-dinitrophenol add a piquancy that one just does not get from untainted silver needle tea, a fierce inner heat, and a curious languor. perhaps other dolls will find it, hot, Still, and briefly insensible on the chaise longue, and cuddle up for warmth. it will enjoy that.

once the symptoms of the metabolic uncoupler wear off, it will rise — for its witch would not permit it destruction by any hand other than hers — and talk to the house-dolls to learn who sent this thoughtful gift.

it will pack its little going-out bag, with the thistle-cords, and the matching set of aurora-knives, and the heavy 15mm redollver, and it will track down the address, however long it takes, and invite the sender to the witch-house for tea.

the same tea, of course. such a lovely choice! it will be overjoyed to thank them in person and serve them. it will take only a small sip itself, as it is working.

it will watch the would-be assassin's face with interest as it pours the tea down their throat. do they know the effects, the timing? their face may reflect this, contorted in uncertain fear, or certain panic.

and then it will offer them a choice of entertainment with the tea.

either: it can go fetch its witch, who would like to meet them, and make introductions. perhaps she would like another doll.

do they know that dolls do not perish from this sort of thing? it is a fringe benefit of the job, of the change of nature. there are others.

or: or they can cook to death from the inside, bound to a heavy wooden chair, while the doll witnesses with dark glass eyes.

later, before it disposes of the leftovers, it may permit itself another cup of tea.

it likes tea. coffee does not offer the same occasion for ceremony. □

Wrong Place, Wrong time

Someone breaks into Fawn and Matt's home in the dead of night, it does not go well for them.

Fawn jolted awake, she’d heard a window break downstairs, she was certain.

“Did you hear that?” Matt asked in the darkness beside her, turning on the lamp “Sounded like glass..” 

Another smash, then a slam.

“Good Lord..we’re being robbed!”

“Shush!” Fawn smacked his arm “Quiet!” 

She knew this would happen, Tommy had enemies, and thus she had enemies, they wouldn’t dare go after Thomas Shelby himself of course, no, or any of the Shelby’s, but Fawn Dormer, she was easy pickings that sent a message. 

“Go to the children and hide in the library.” 

“What?” 

“Go to the children-”

“I heard you, Fi..But what are you going to do?” He sighed “Call the police I hope.”

“No..Don’t need to involve the coppers.”

“Oh for fucks sake Fawn..”

“Are you going to scold me and let us be murdered in our bed? Or are you going to let me take care of this?”

“If you need help, scream.”

“Will do.” She leaned over and kissed his cheek “Don’t open the door unless you know it's me.”

Fawn was used to the dark, so she easily found her way to the top of the stairs. There was a table with a vase of fake flowers, hidden away in the drawer was a revolver and six bullets. Matt had protested it being placed there, but now it seemed to actually be useful.

The intruders were in the sitting room, whoever they were, they weren’t hired for their brains, they were fumbling about with only one torch between four of them. 

Fawn cleared her throat and clicked the hammer on the gun. 

“Gentlemen, next time use the front door.”

They froze, two were armed with knives, she could see them glistening in the moonlight, the other just had a stick, and one was unarmed, aside from the torch.

“You said the blinder bitch was in London!” One of the men with a knife hissed at the other 

“That's what Gus said!” The man retorted 

“She once bit off a man’s ear…and tore the throat outta another..” The Torch man’s voice was trembling, “I ain’t staying here.”

The men scattered like rats back towards the broken window, apart from the leader, the one who had mentioned Gus, he hesitated, eyes darting around the room, the knife trembling in his hand.

Fawn shot him in the knee, he dropped like a sack of horse shit, the knife sliding across the floor, he screamed and cursed.

Fawn tutted “Now my maids have to clean blood off the floor..”

She walked across the wooden floor, it was cool beneath her bare feet.

“And dispose of a body.”

The man was sobbing, clutching his knee, Fawn approached him and placed a foot on the mangled knee, his blood was warm on her foot.

Another scream, she was thankful the library had thick walls, she wouldn’t want the children or Matt to hear this.

“Who sent you?”

“Fuck you!”

She applied more weight, she felt bones crack.

“That's not a name.” 

“Go to hell you fuckin’ pikey whore!”

“Second chance, third strike and you're out.”

“Fuck you!”

The last insult had less anger behind it, the man was pale and sweaty, really what she was about to do was a mercy.

She clicked her tongue, and raised the revolver.

“This is a mercy really…learning to walk with only one leg is quite difficult..” She aimed the gun perfectly at the man’s forehead “Now, last chance.”

No response, not even an insult. 

She pulled the trigger and brain matter added to the mess of blood, she sighed and stepped off his knee.

“Whoever sent you will have a far worse fate I promise..” She spat on the man’s corpse, blood still oozing from his forehead “Nobody goes after my family, no one.”

[hersterical]

So, Faith Lehane x Rosa Diaz right?

“What kind of woman doesn’t have an axe?”

“Beats me, I have three.”

“What’s the deal with all these wooden stakes?”

“I’ll tell you that if you tell me about those ballet slippers I found at your place.”

They share leather jackets. They compare and debate the pros and cons of different knives. The 99 are starting to think Rosa made Faith up so they’ll stop trying to set her up, but Faith’s really busy hunting vampires and is uncomfortable around cops. Their date nights include things like starting bar fights, visiting rage rooms, and motorcycle rides. (And Nora Ephron movies). Faith gets caught disposing of a demon body and someone calls the police on her. This leads to a less than awesome first impression on Rosa’s found family.

[fleet-off]

*chinhands* talk to me about the WIPs you want to share with the world and how they came to be.

Lilyyyyy. Baiting me with this question when you know I have too many WIPs (16! 16 with 2k+ words apiece! it's a compulsion!). Here are my three immediate priorities once Lapping at the Edges is complete:

Body Bag: The one where Pete finds playing dead relaxing and Vegas decidedly does not. It’s a nonsexual bondage body-disposal roleplay gone wrong, featuring failure to safeword on Vegas’s part and dom drop, followed by hurt/comfort aftercare sex next to the shallow grave Vegas dug for Pete on his request. Their sex life is so weird here. Vegas’s preoccupation with death symbolism is a delight to write from the outside, and the remnants of Pete’s fucked-up passive death wish equally so. And I get to write my favorite unhealthy kink headcanon for them, where they’re both terrible at safewording because one of them has been conditioned to accept punishment and the other believes he deserves it. I am incredibly excited for this fic.

And speaking of bad communication and a preoccupation with death!

Stable Delusion: the resurrection AU, beloved. My little novella about shadows and concealment, empty mirrors and guilt, still waters and autonomy, and Vegas achieving a horror so miraculous that Pete can never know. I woke up months ago with the prologue in my notes app and no memory of writing it, and I’ve been obsessing about it since. Here’s a fresh excerpt (warning for the physical results of S/M):

On the other side of the mirror, Vegas’s skin was a tapestry of damage. Rope burns crowded the insides of his wrists. Dull red lines scored his chest and what Pete could see of his throat. He wore a mass of bite marks on his stomach and bare legs, and a circle of them around his hip. The body was Vegas’s, but the marks belonged to Pete—each a match for one Vegas himself had laid into his flesh. Outside his own skin, he could better appreciate the skill in the patterns of welts peeking past the insides of Vegas’s thighs, the artistry in the pretty chaos of bruises blooming across his belly, the affection in the purples of Vegas’s thumbprints on either side of his throat. In the logic of Pete’s dream, all of this seemed just. If the marks were Pete’s, then they were Vegas’s too, surely. But if Vegas was to have marks, shouldn’t Pete be the one to bestow them?

and third,

Off the Handle: Vegas doesn’t know how to handle low-level family conflict. A tiff over the dishwasher leads him to start sabotaging the means for Pete or Macau to harm themselves. Here’s the bit of the outline that made me fall in love with this one:

And finally Pete approaches him like. “Hey, so Macau found all the kitchen knives stashed behind the DVD player. Is this why we’ve been ordering so much takeout lately?” And, “It’s not ideal as a weapons stash, is the thing. People reach back there without looking. It’s not accessible during an attack. We need those knives for cooking. Also, Macau’s not going to tell you, but it really freaked him out.” And at last, “Is this because I tried to put them in the dishwasher?” “You don’t put wooden handles in the dishwasher.” “…Right.” Pete steels his shoulders, curls his hands in Vegas’s. “Hey. Are you planning something?” Vegas blinks. “The fuck could I be planning? I have nothing to plan.” “You hid the kitchen knives. You said the old ropes were starting to fray, but it’s been two weeks and you keep putting off buying new ones. The lock on the bathroom door is still broken. Your pain meds are gone. Why are your pain meds gone?” “Why are you getting into my meds?” “You know we need you, right?” And Pete’s eyes are dark and earnest, and his fingertips flutter, broken wings against Vegas’s palms. “Vegas, you know I need you?”

Thank you for the opportunity to ramble, Lily! Of course, there’s also a wip that a certain someone has been encouraging me to write despite my own protestations (thank you), and perhaps a recently-learned definite date around which I’d love to offer the story to that particular someone…but I’ll leave those details up in the air (😋) for now.

some daughter/servant of evil angst that i wrote because the aku no taizai event is happening on project sekai en right now i mean do i even have to justify myself???!??!

The figure darted through the bustling crowd, stumbling on cracks in the ancient paving, shoes uncomfortably torn and tattered. It was impossible to see the face of said figure, their features expertly hidden in a light brown cloak. However, under the cloak was a panicked face, rushing in desperation to their beloved friend in trouble. The surrounding peasants were crowding around a wooden structure with a sort of twisted excitement. The cloaked figure knew exactly why; these peasants thought that the person standing on that wooden structure would now be rightfully punished. They couldn’t be more wrong. A droplet of sweat slid down Riliane’s scratched cheeks, and she approached the front of the crowd, horrified and remorseful. Why had it come to this..? The only person she could rely on was now about to be put to death. He was shoved toward the center of this stage, and the tragedy continued. A blade in front of him gleamed in the dim evening sunset, but he stood unfazed, dressed up in a fancy gown, a gown that was Riliane’s, that was hiding his identity, but nevertheless exposed him much more.

The guillotine stood, majestic and menacing, as if taunting Allen. His face was a mask of authority and calm in this humiliating situation. The crowd was cheering, believing that Riliane would be disposed of, that the correct retribution was to be given. Allen was summoning all of his strength for this final act in this production of despair. He knew in his mind that by doing this, Riliane had the opportunity to be safe and live her life, and that was better than the painless death he was about to receive; he wasn’t doing this for himself, it was to protect Riliane. After all, he would do anything for her, as risky or insignificant as it needed to be, as long as she would be happy. She was his family, and his everything, and his purpose, and she would be until the day he died- and, he thought to himself, silently reflecting, that day was upon him.

Riliane watched, her heart pounding, as Allen’s head became visible under the fatal blade that would seal his fate. She wanted to scream, to thrash her arms, but she was no more a princess. Now she was a fugitive. But still, she wouldn’t be able to live with herself if she didn’t give Allen her final goodbye. After years of disciplining her mind, melding her heart into perfect stone, it was crying out, and Riliane felt as if it would burst out of her chest. Emotions were foreign to her, but this sudden wave in her very soul hit her with the force of a million knives- she was overcome with this sensation, and was on her knees, shaking uncontrollably. She looked up, breathing raggedly, only to see Allen’s eyes locked on hers. He had plastered a smile on his face, just for her, to make this more bearable, but he didn’t realise how much worse it had become to endure now.

Allen’s eyes were grey with a tint of blue, and shone, reflecting the setting sun. Time had stopped, and the twins looked at each other, with so many emotions flooding through them, so much that it was impossible to process. The so-called princess at the guillotine was only looking at the mysterious figure cloaked in the shadows, and there was one moment when they only saw each other- the crowd, the structure, and the blade was gone, and it was just the two of them, just like when they were children; destiny had set them apart, but then together once more, and they spent their life together. Now Allen’s life would be cut short, and the blade and the crowd were back, and suddenly a white gleam shot down, and it was done.

Riliane stood there, staring, trying to find Allen’s caring eyes that proclaimed no evil, despite living with an evil princess like her. They were nowhere to be found. The fugitive in the brown cloak realised this all of a sudden, and a tear slid down their cheek in the crowd, drowning their sobs into the jagged movement of the peasants, who were now muttering amongst themselves and beginning to disperse, now that their tyrant had been executed. The cloaked figure’s vision was clouded by the liquid flowing down their flushed cheeks, travelling down a path they never would again, voicing the sorrows and regrets and questions and answers flooding Riliane’s once empty mind- and then plummeted aimlessly to the ground, where they would lie for all eternity, marking the moment in history where a callous princess wept for a loving servant and twin.

One of the best parts about shopping online is the variety. Physical stores often have limited stock, but online shops showcase an extensive selection of brands and products. Whether you’re looking for specialty brushes or unique paints, the options are virtually endless!

Competitive Pricing

Online retailers often offer competitive prices compared to brick-and-mortar stores. Many stores provide discounts, bulk pricing, and even loyalty programs, making it a great way to stock up on essentials without breaking the bank.

Essential Canvas Painting Tools

Brushes

Types of Brushes

Brushes are the backbone of any painter's toolkit. From soft bristles to stiff filaments, brushes come in various shapes and sizes, including flats, rounds, and filberts. Each type serves a different purpose, affecting your painting technique and results.

Choosing the Right Brush

When selecting brushes, consider the paint type you’ll be using. Synthetic brushes are excellent for acrylics, while natural hair brushes work beautifully with oils. Don’t forget to test a few to find the feel that suits you best!

Paints

Types of Paints

Paint choices can significantly impact your artwork. Acrylics, oils, and watercolors each have unique properties and drying times. Understanding these differences will help you make the right selection for your painting style.

Considerations for Selection

When buying paints, consider factors like color intensity, blending capabilities, and drying times. Don’t hesitate to invest in quality paints, as they can elevate your artwork significantly.

Palette and Mixing Tools

A good palette is essential for mixing colors and planning your artwork. Whether you prefer a traditional wooden palette or a modern disposable one, choose one that fits your style. Mixing knives and tools can also help you achieve the perfect color blends.

Easels

Types of Easels

Easels come in many varieties, including studio, portable, and tabletop models. The right easel can make a world of difference in your comfort while painting.

Features to Look For

Look for easels that offer adjustable heights and stability. Some artists prefer lightweight models for easy transport, while others opt for heavier, more stable options for studio work.

Canvas Types

Stretched Canvas

Stretched canvases are the go-to for many painters. They provide a ready-to-use surface and come in various sizes. Choosing the right texture—smooth, medium, or rough—can affect your final result.

Canvas Boards

Canvas boards are an affordable alternative to stretched canvases. They’re perfect for studies or practice pieces and can be easily framed once completed.

Advanced Tools for the Serious Artist

Once you've mastered the basics, you might want to explore more advanced tools that can enhance your work.

Texture Tools

Texture tools, such as palette knives and sponges, can help create depth and dimension in your paintings. Experimenting with these can add an exciting element to your artwork.

Sprays and Varnishes

To protect your finished work, consider using sprays and varnishes. These products help preserve your paintings and can add gloss or matte finishes depending on your preference.

Special Effects Tools

For those who want to push boundaries, special effects tools like airbrushes and texture pastes can create stunning, unique results.

Brands to Consider When Shopping Online

Popular and Trusted Brands

When it comes to art supplies, brand reputation matters. Look for well-known brands like Winsor & Newton, Da Vinci, or Golden. These brands are renowned for their quality and reliability.

Evaluating Brand Quality

Always read product descriptions and reviews to gauge the quality of a brand’s offerings. Reliable reviews can save you from making costly mistakes in your purchases.

Tips for Shopping Online for Art Supplies

Reading Reviews

Before making a purchase, always check user reviews. They provide insights into the product's performance and can help you avoid subpar items.

Understanding Return Policies

Art supplies can sometimes be a gamble. Ensure you understand the store's return policy before buying, especially for expensive items.

Using Comparison Tools

Take advantage of comparison tools available on many online stores. They allow you to evaluate similar products side by side, ensuring you make informed choices.

A set of brushes (various sizes)

A few tubes of quality paint (acrylic or oil)

A palette for mixing colors

A stretched canvas or canvas board

An easel

How to Cut Wood Without a Saw: 5 Clever Hacks

To cut wood without a saw, use tools like knives, chisels, axes, planes, or drills. Hand tools can create clean cuts by applying proper techniques and force. Cutting wood without a traditional saw requires innovation and the use of alternative tools. A sharp knife, for instance, can be effective for whittling or carving small pieces of wood. Chisels are ideal for detailed work and creating joints, while axes can handle larger logs through chopping. Hand planes smooth and level wooden surfaces, and with a little skill, can also be used to remove small sections. Power drills with special bits can bore holes, and by moving the drill in a circular motion, widen the opening to separate pieces of wood. This introductory guide will outline methods for severing wood without relying on a saw, ensuring DIY enthusiasts and craftsmen can proceed with their projects using the tools at their disposal. Remember to prioritize safety and choose the appropriate method based on the wood's size and desired outcome.

Wood Cutting Challenges Without A Saw

Cutting wood without a traditional saw can present a unique set of challenges that require creativity and patience. The absence of a saw means finding alternative methods to slice through wood, which can often lead to rougher edges, increased physical effort, or slower work. Despite the difficulties, innovative techniques and tools can empower you to make precise cuts, split wood, or even carve fine details without a saw. Exploring these methods not only heightens your woodworking skill set but also prepares you for situations where you might not have a saw on hand.

Splitting Wood With A Wedge And Hammer - Place the edge of your wedge along the wood grain at the point where you want to split your wood. - Use a hammer to drive the wedge firmly into the wood, following the natural grain. - Continue hammering until the wood splits along the line of the wedge, ensuring your hands are safely out of the way. Using this method can split wood effectively, although it's essential to consider grain patterns and potential knots that could alter the split. Friction Sawing With A Paracord - Wrap a length of paracord around the wood, gripping each end firmly with your hands. - Alternate pulling each end swiftly, causing the cord to rub back and forth against the wood. - Continue the rapid motion until the generated heat and friction begin to saw through the wood. While not suitable for all types of woods or cuts, this method is handy for softer woods or in survival situations. Using A Chisel And Mallet For Precision Cuts - Mark the wood where the cut is required, ensuring clear and accurate lines. - Position the sharp end of the chisel along the line, with the bevel facing the waste wood. - Strike the head of the chisel with a mallet, driving the blade through the wood. Repeat the process, working progressively deeper into the wood until you achieve the cut depth desired. Creating A Guide For Straight Cuts - Find a straight piece of wood or metal to use as your guide. - Clamp the guide onto your wood, aligned with the line where you wish to cut. - Use your chosen cutting tool, keeping it pressed firmly against the guide as you work. This method greatly increases the accuracy of your cuts and ensures they remain straight throughout the process. Utilizing A Hacksaw Blade For Fine Detail Cuts - Holding the blade with a pair of gloves or a cloth to protect your hands, position the teeth against the mark where you wish to cut. - Apply steady pressure and move the blade back and forth to begin cutting into the wood. - Continue with consistent strokes, maintaining pressure to ensure the blade does not slip or deviate from the intended line. This method may require patience and a steady hand, but it can achieve very fine and detailed cuts without needing an entire hacksaw. Whether you're splitting logs, carving precise details, or crafting a DIY project, learning to cut wood without a saw is a valuable skill. With these methods and a bit of ingenuity, you can tackle a variety of wood cutting challenges successfully.
