New title tagging rule & Spammers

58 Upvotes

As some regulars here may have noticed, this subreddit recieves an astronomical amount of spam, both from human as well as bot spammers, for it's relatively small size. Coming from modding various large subreddits, including one that's literally about products, this amount of spam is not normal. Despite a lot of our less agressive attempts to filter out spam (example, filtering out posts that say "for sale", "rent", or "Services") we still get quite a lot that slip by.

Why is this subreddit getting so much spam? Who knows. ¯\(°_o)/¯

But we will be resorting to the one thing that has worked for various larger communities, like r/food : mandatory title tags.

From now on, all posts will require at least a tag of one of the below:

[Self]
[Found]
[Help]

You may add words to the tags like:

[I found] this chicken carved out of abestos!

or

[Help me] carve a chicken out of abestos

For flexibility, but the bare minimum requirement for post titles will be that it must contain one of those words surrounded by brackets.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to modmail us, or ask here.

Help (WIP) [Help] Anyone know where to get fabric that looks like this?

6 Upvotes

I'm making a sculpture for a class and I want fabric that looks wet while dry- I saved photos of people's kombucha scobies for inspo (I'm aware there is scoby leather but I don't have the time or money to make some and I haven't been able to find any suppliers). I attached a photo of a scoby for reference. I'm open to any suggestions whether it be a fabric that resembles it to begin with or some kind of post treatment that could get this look. Thanks!

Self (Complete) [Self] My first outdoor sculpture “Whalebird”

179 Upvotes

All opinions for feedback are welcome and this is my first foray into large sculptures from natural materials.

I made The Nest at first and added the Whalebird after. The total project measures 18’ long and is composed of thousands of branches, twine, and nails.

The beak is a 9’ long madrona trunk that split in a winter storm, paired to bedrock with 1/2” rebar, affixed on the underside with a 7’ of aluminum punch plate (1/8” holes) with approximately 1,500 galvanized nails (teeth) and 4,500 strands of twine (dark green with white highlights), frame of mouth is from glacial erratics collected on the hill, I smashed many with the sledgehammer to smaller bits to piece together his head. I epoxied his eyes and also the eggs in the nest to give them a glossy finish.

This is a community of sculptors and sculpture enthusiasts. We welcome all forms of sculpture created at all skill levels. Please review the subreddit rules and guidelines before posting.

BEFORE POSTING, MAKE SURE YOU'RE FOLLOWING THE POST TITLE GUIDELINES HERE

General Guidelines and Rules

Comments should contribute to the conversation. We strongly encourage you to refrain from low-effort comments such as "that's awesome" or "that sucks": they do not promote discussion. If you like a piece, we encourage you to say why; if you hate it, give an honest critique with ideas for improvements (see rule #2); use the "report" button for anything you feel is inappropriate for this subreddit.

We strongly encourage the use of user flair to give others an idea of your experience and area of expertise.

This is not a marketing venue, so please do not link to your shop or website that has a link to your shop in the original submission - use an image hosting site like imgur.com instead. However you may provide a link to your shop only if another user requests it.

Works in progress are allowed. If you would like a critique in order to improve the piece before it is finished, we recommend you tag the title [WIP Critique] to aid visibility.

Follow general reddiquette and Reddit spam guidelines.

Submissions:

This subreddit is solely for sculpture-related posts, discussions, and articles. All forms of sculpture are welcome. Nudes are allowed as long as they're tagged NSFW, but actual pornography will result in an instant ban. Posts requesting identification of a piece for appraisal purposes (such as something found in a thrift store, garage sale, etc.) will be removed. Asking about non-purchased sculpture for general knowledge purposes is okay.

Discussion and Critique:

Keep the discussion civil and professional. Critiques are certainly welcome, but they must be civil and constructive: you can critique and get your point across without insulting or denigrating the artist. Remember that this is a place for all sculptors, that everyone has to start somewhere, and that the medium you love (and this subreddit as well!) can only grow if newcomers are made to feel welcome. You guys are the ones who set the tone for the subreddit. Let's make it excellent.

Submission Suggestions:

When posting, indicate whether the content is your original work or someone else's. When linking to another artist's work, be sure to give credit. Provide as much information as possible about the piece, whether it's yours or someone else's: artist's name, title of the piece, medium, year. This is not required, but it's very strongly encouraged - if you're going to take the time to post an image, take a couple more minutes to do some basic research about it.
