Since we're talking about abstract art, I don't think I've shown these off before.

So the basic technique is:
1. Start with a black canvas.
2. Swirl dish soap in a cool pattern on the canvas. (The soap will be the black lines later)
3. Spray the canvas with spray paint. The paint slides off the soap, but will dry on the non-soaped bits.
4. Wait for it to dry, then gently rinse the canvas to get the soap off and air dry it.
You can also spray paint the canvas first, let it dry, then soap, and spray black (or another color) over it. (Which is what I did for the last one. I also washed that one more aggressively, which got some cool texture stuff going on)

Fall in love with someone who feels like the warmth of the sun on a cold January morning, but soothes your heart like the cool waters of the sea on the hottest day of June.

i don’t know why it is, but…
you feel like home,
and everywhere i’ve never been,
all at once.
it doesn’t make sense…
or maybe it does?
maybe love is the safest place you could ever be,
and every new and undiscovered place
you have yet to go,
all at the same time.
yeah…
i think that’s perfectly how it’s
supposed to feel.

Hey,
So, I've been searching for a post which spoke about a museum about black people. It had an immersive listening device and people write about their or other people's experience with that. Most of them in tears after listening to that. And they also have a doctor maybe incase of it being too much?
Any leads?
