This is Why They Don't Let Me Design Wallpaper

This is the first picture I did, a two page spread from The Time Garden. I guess I decided to jump in with both feet!

I do like the way the wallpaper looks, but I think in real life if would be crazy overwhelming.

I originally planned to color in the wallpaper background black, but gave up on that idea when I realized just how much work it would be. Plus I think it would be very difficult to keep it from looking splotchy.

I'm not really happy with the view through the windows. The trees are supposed to look silhouetted against the sky, but I don't think it really works. Oh well.

Thanks to Code Monkey for being my easel during the photographing process.

She's not modest, her underwear is showing :(

Maybe a tad darker shade in the trees? if it's silhouetted there could be a shadow on the side that's visible to us

I like the view through the windows!  That wallpaper makes me want to throw up. Not because I don't like it, because I do, but the thought of colouring all of that makes me think it must have driven you a bit crazy. Shit, that looks like a ton of work!  

I really like everything about this, @happy atheist.  I especially like the doors. And it brings to mind the Pennington Christmas tree, too!!

I *SEVERELY* underestimated how long the wallpaper would take.

I thought I commented on this before, but I guess it was just in my head.

I really like the wallpaper.  I think you made the right decision not to color in the background.  I think it would make the wallpaper look a bit "muddy."

It's funny what people notice in the pages.   It seems like someone mentions something I missed in lots of pages, so I have to go back and look at them again.

I think the view outside the windows is fine, as well.

I love what you've done with the wallpaper.  I cannot imagine how long that took, but WOW.

      This seems to be their bottom line. And apparently enough people are seeing that that no one's willing to waste anymore money on them! Sadly I doubt anything will make them stop and think - unless it's someone in their anti-work community who they trust (which I highly doubt they have). If someone they know personally finally opened their eyes to how ridiculous the anti-work movement is, I could maybe see one of them accepting how untenable that belief system is and making changes from there. So realistically? They'll live their lives as (attempted) master grifters.

      2 bathrooms works for us as a family of 4. But if we had more kids, I would probably want another toilet somewhere.

      I am pretty sure that that is the exact same fridge, or a very similar fridge, to the one my sibling and their spouse put in when they built their new house three years ago. It's fine except that the water that comes out isn't as cold as I prefer my water to be. 

      I don't Love or hate open plan homes. They are very convenient for someone like my mother, who can't hear you calling from another room but who can tell that you're talking from across the room and use her lipreading/face reading skills to fill in what she doesn't hear. (she has a hearing loss.) My sibling has one and it's convenient when they are cooking because they can keep an eye on the kids. But they also have a playroom that is not part of the open plan, which I think is essential so that you are not continually stepping on Legos.

      And I tend to think that people with three or more bathrooms are not cleaning their own bathrooms. Myself absolutely love having my own bathroom but then again I live alone. I think that having IBS and sharing a bathroom would be very difficult to do.

      I was born with dark hair. Fell out, came back white blonde. Have been going darker ever since. It’s ash blonde (street dog blonde….) now. Which- as the internet tells me, is no considered „old money blonde“ (🤪🙄). Maybe that’s how we see it when I have finally grown out the dark brown I had dyed it…..

      They could have moved closer to Ryann’s family last summer instead of moving to Seattle…that would have saved them their donors several thousands…but it’s not money they had to earn so they don’t care. Every decision they make is very reactive as opposed to proactive. They rarely think of the consequences.
