Thank you everyone! I have been fighting a stomach bug all week so it was a pretty quiet day, but it was still a good one!

Thank you! That was the effect I was after; one of Woodsy's animation tricks helped me get the timing right.

So, I had to take a few months off for various RL reasons. I come back bringing my 2019 holiday card--which turned out to be an unexpected memorial to Woodsy since I used a couple of his tricks. Whatever you celebrate folks, I hope it's a happy one. --Alyce

Oh no...I take a few months off and come back to this. RIP dear friend, and happy trails. 😭

I have Blender but have barely tried it...you're making me curious here.

Fabulous work as always! Can never have too much red. ❤️

Thank you! Some of the bits I have been working on for over a year. Also, there's no such thing as an uninteresting language fact (used to be a librarian, moi). This one actually had me squeeing; the book is set in Shropshire, so everyone is basically Welsh at heart. The name Sarn now makes SO much sense in context (narrator has a very ambitious brother). ❤️

Thank you! I have way, WAY too much fun with Shape 3D. This house in question has at least two more (the book doesn't go into much detail about the layout). Next up: making a loom.

Happy belated birthday! Hope it was a great one!

Oh goodness that's shiny!

"The room was all dim like a cave, and the red fire burning still and watchful seemed like the eye of the Lord. There was a little red eye in every bit of ware on the dresser too, where it caught the gleam." --Precious Bane chapter 2, "Telling the Bees." Can't see much of the window in this shot, buuut there's more to come.

Thank you, everyone! And @lynxster4, seeing through it wasn't the goal quite as much as letting in a bit of light. Now, to building!

So, I was watching a bit of medieval reconstruction when I remembered there was something odd about medieval glass I'd wanted to research. The short version: glass in many parts of northern and western Europe used to be made with wood ash to provide some of the necessary chemistry, so it had an interesting green-gold effect and was called "forest glass." Here's a window with forest glass and leading; I have been considering a medieval house model (from my favorite book) for some time, so now I at least have the windows for it!

No but you have one heck of a memory! (Still mad about the lack of decimal point.)

Happy birthday!

Where's the decimal? Where's the decimal?!?

WOW!

@Rick Brewster, how is it that Paint.Net always seems like the best program out there BUT YOU KEEP MANAGING TO IMPROVE IT? 😊

Okay @Pixey, do you think Bill Gates would let this be the new logo? His isn't shiny enough. ❤️

@Joshua Lamusga, I am impressed! Now you have me wondering how to paint a ghost quartz.

I second the motion! Also I need to try this tutorial now.

Oh what the BLAZES? @welshblue, that's insane! Even---especially!--students deserve protection!

Happy birthday!

Heilung are Pretty Darn Awesome, aren't they? Uriah Heep too.... More! ❤️
