Ruby, GG asked about Boxing Day, would you do us the honor of explaining what it is? Gotta go it's 12:04am here, have a good day:)
I have no idea Tabs :unsure:o_O. I left it for someone who may already know.
definition according to wikepedia

Boxing Day is a holiday celebrated the day after Christmas Day, occurring on the second day of Christmastide.[1] Though it originated as a holiday to give gifts to the poor, today Boxing Day is primarily known as a shopping holiday. It originated in the United Kingdom and is celebrated in a number of countries that previously formed part of the British Empire. Boxing Day is on 26 December, although the attached bank holiday or public holiday may take place either on that day or one or two days later (if necessary to ensure it falls on a weekday). Boxing day is also concurrent with the Christian holiday Saint Stephen's Day.

Good morning friends :)

Ruby was Boxing day not the day they did something with the gift boxes from the 25th? :unsure:

It's been a little silent, even here, and even though most people can't go anywhere, as if everyone got tired of everything at the same time. Time has been odd and shifty and I'm not liking it.

If you've never seen 3D goldfish painting before, check this out. They look sooo real. And this artist makes a lot of money doing it too.

It's clear acrylic. You mix the clear liquid acrylic with hardener and it dries solid.
It would be kind of fun to try. I like dabbling in a little painting. I will have to look up what clear acrylic is and what exactly hardener is. I hope it doesn't cost the moon. Is that what they do with these 3D paintings that you can buy or is that something different??

At one point many years ago I thought it would be interesting/fulfilling to color tint old photographs, but the materials needed to do such were prohibitively expensive, and I never gave it a go. That is one definite advantage to my digital art: there is no cost involved in materials required aside from my computer, which I have any ways :D Another advantage is that there are no materials taking up space in my apartment, and nothing to make a mess with such as paints and brushes and varnishes and acrylic etc would do :giggle::geek::giggle:

My latest panel :D




When I first listened through @SoulWeaver 's musical renditions
of some of the Psalms, this one stood out for me right away :D

I don't know what 3D paintings you mean, but this stuff can be used for almost anything. They actually call it epoxy resin, but it's acrylic. I wanted to try it too but it's kind of pricey. Here's an example of a popular 1 gallon resin/hardener set:
