Finally finished making my saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) for my Sonoran desert diorama.

Saguaro comes with a nesting elf owl, Micrathene whitneyi, and a pollinating lesser long nosed bat, Leptonycteris yerbabuenae.

Present for my sister and her husband and their newborn daughter Ava.

I wanted to make these forest diorama letters for Ava's future bedroom. I hope she'll like them when she's a bit older! She's already my favorite niece in the world!

The wooden letters are made by LETTERSandWOOD on Etsy

The letters are decorated by me

I finally finished the diorama inspired by @2istoomany‘s up coming FengQing comic!

The little Feng Xin and tiny Mu Qing did not turn out the way I wanted, but since I made three other figurines that all broke when I got more detailed I decided to keep those blorbos the way they are.

I hope you guys like it!

Next projects will be most likely Zelda related. 😁

Like... when I'm pointing out that a recipe image is AI, the purpose is not to shame them for posting AI, because even people who are familiar with the tells will sometimes fall for it.

I want you to have reasonable expectations about your food.

Because when I see this:

I remember this:

Which was a full decade prior to AI-based misinformation, and just how many people were pissed off that the Pinterest post misled them.

And even more-working in a craft store during the Pinterest heyday:

"We want to make this." Shows a picture of:

-a marimo moss ball terrarium in a light bulb.

-a resin-treated natural wooden shelf with glow in the dark resin in the cracks

-a really complex diorama made using museum grade resin and hand-painted figures by a miniatures artist

...to name a few.

"I'm sorry, but we do not carry (unfinished wood pieces, light reactive resin powders, live marimo moss balls, museum grade resin). Is there a tutorial attached with a materials list? No? I'm sorry, we don't have those. You can make something like this with what we have, but it won't turn out the same as in the photo. You want it exactly like the photo? I'm sorry, we can't special order these items, they're not featured on our list of vendors. I'm sorry, no, I don't know where to get them. Oh, you want me to walk you through the steps of making it since there's no tutorial? I can really only guess, but it looks like... oh, you want someone who knows for sure? I'm sorry, but no one here is terribly familiar with the process. You might see if you can reverse image search and find the source of the image. You say you want to speak to my manager? You say I'm being rude to you? You say I should be going out of my way to make you happy? You say you'll leave a 1 star review?..."

Etc.

If you ask a bartender to make you the 'celestial milkshake' and show them the photo, they are going to go through the same course that I just went through, but with mixology. They are going to explain that cotton candy dissolves when put in liquid, that edible glitter doesn't look like that, that the liquers listed in the recipe don't interact well, and that the image you have given them is essentially concept art by someone who has never even worn an apron.

Having reasonable expectations for your food is not by any means shaming you for falling for AI. It is saving you the embarrassment and them the frustration.
