014 Fluid Art STOP Challenge - Coffee Cup Pour

What is the "STOP Challenge"? It is the challenge to stop fiddling with the pour! Let's see how well I do, eh?
This acrylic paint fluid art pour has a greens yellows and black colour scheme, with a "coffee cup" dirty pour.

PEOPLE! Do let me know if you want me to stop or to continue posting about my videos. They are automatically notified on twitter, while I have to do this by hand. If nobody comments, I'm going to have to assume I'm boring you, and stop posting about it.

Comments

I've commented on YouTube but I don't think you look there. :-(

[kerravonsen]

Yes, YOU have. I thought I replied to all of them?
(later)
Ah, there's a new one there. I've been out all morning and half the afternoon, so I didn't see it until I got back.

[vilakins]

Oh, did you? So sorry: I was expecting some sort of notification. OK, I'll comment here in future so I'll know. Now I'll go back and check the old vids. :-)

[vilakins]

And yes, you did indeed. That's puzzling as they're true replies so I'd have thought I'd get an email or something. Do you get notifications? Is it a setting I need to change? I do get emails about my subscriptions.

[kerravonsen]

I don't get notification emails, but I do get notifications in the notification area on YouTube, and since I have a browser window open on YouTube most of the time, I just check it every now and then and it shows how many unread notifications I have. Similar to how I deal with Twitter.
And I get notifications for all replies to comments I've made, and notifications for comments on my videos. I don't have it set up to email me, though.

I guess it would be worth checking what options there actually are in the notification settings.

[vilakins]

Huh! I just went into notifications, and it just says to subscribe to favourite channels to get emails. Maybe it's only for people who actually post videos. When I did for the company, we used to disable comments so I never found out.

Anyway, I love the effects you get.

[kerravonsen]

How odd. I don't think it's limited to people who post videos, because I was getting notifications about replies to my comments before I ever posted a video.

In the notifications settings, do you have a heading that says "Comments & Activity"? Because that's where you turn on notifications about replies to your comments. "Activity on my comments on others' videos" is the setting to turn on.

(scratches head)

Anyway, I love the effects you get.

Thank you! This stuff is addictive.

[vilakins]

Aha! Done!

Thank you.

What is the "STOP Challenge"? It is the challenge to stop fiddling with the pour! - lol! Yeah, I can see where that would be tough. I do the same thing when I make a marbled cake, I just can't stop futzing with it. I like how we can see your Potions notebook...er, Pour notebook...starting at about 3:37 :)

Edit: OK, now try this next!!

Yeah, I can see the problem: too much mixing and it won't be marbled any more...

A puddle pour over a large 3D object? Don't think so. I might be able to manage a small 3D object, though. Hmmmm. Wonder if I have anything suitable?

[delphipsmith]

Honestly, I just like watching it slither about. It's hypnotic and so gorgeous.

[kerravonsen]

(grin) That it is.
So what you really want is a fascinating time lapse... hmmm.

(pretty icon! Where is the lass from?)

[delphipsmith]

Isn't she lovely? She's a Brian Froud fairy, from the cover of his book. I adore his art, as does Mr Psmith - in fact he has a tattoo of this very cool fellow, from the same book.
