Sherlock Holmes: The Silver Earring
4 hours, no achievements, ☆☆☆☆☆
More
Normally I try to finish a game at all cost. Even if it means I'm working with a guide or abandon achievements, as long as it is done. I already worked with a guide. But after having this one situation I just can't solve - too clunky, I'm too clumsy, the view of the scene just sucks; basically I didn't manage. So after a few tries - including getting a bad end, bc I failed, and realizing the game does not safe (wait whaaaaaaaaat? -.-) - I decided to give up. I'm not doing this. I give up. Plus the game is apparently… uh… not so good? So maybe not that bad, not finishing it. SO WHAT!
Recommendation? Sadly no.
Cat Story ahead!
We had cats over at ours. My brother and his wife came on Sunday to visit and brought the cats along, to see if it works with ours. I was a bit worried we might have the big catfight going on, but nope, that didn’t happen. The looked at each other, sniffed a bit and two of them even hissed, but not that much. So everything is fine. Ameno is currently hiding underneath my blanket in the bed and Tizio is pretty relaxed tbh. He chilled in his hammock until he went over to the bathroom and just chilled there. So maybe not too much contact with the other cats, but as long as there is no fight, that is ok for me :)
New weekly stat for feeling pressure! \o/
Sportyness!
2/7
I started last week to work a bit at the ceramic atelier I’m painting at. I was instructed to do the final varnish – I think that’s the proper word for it? – and then.. uh… cleaning it off and putting the pieces into the oven. So yay! I feel needed! I feel helpful!
This lead to me painting a jug for free. Yay to that! I’m really excited about it and think it’ll turn out great! <3
As stated before:
I’m happy to paint for each and everyone of you. Only fee are the material and shipping costs \o/
If you wanna give me something for the “work”, that’s totally up to you and not expected ;)

Dad Tip #76 - If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all
I think you’re looking for the word ‘glaze’, maybe, if I’m remembering ceramics from high school correctly.
I do love that jug - how you did the gradation of the purple to pink sky and the tree looks like it’s made out of candy! I love it. It looks like it smells really good, if that makes sense?
Glaze. Yeah, glaze sounds nice. I’ll take it <3
Mhm, I could totally explain it in German, lemme try in English: It’s a colour gradient. Normally you are supposed to start with the brighter colours bc dark ones make light ones simply disappear. But I started on top with the dark one, painted it on and while it was still wet I applied the next - lighter - colour and mixed them a bit. And so on. Considering how you do three layers - at best - you have to always get the mixing at roughly the same spot. But yeah. That’s it. Actually a simple technique, although one can always make it more complex ;)
I hope the brightness of the leaves come out well after it’s burned. I’m a bit worried there. But I already know the colours will be awesome! <3
And yes, I get what you mean. While doing the glaze on other things today, I was super happy to look at it. I only had to apply the glaze on the inside with the jug, so not that much work with it. Oh, I’m so looking forward to Friday! <3
Ok, I’m quiet now. Enough being in love with my work :D
No, no! I think it’s spectacular that you’re in love with your work! It’s so vital and surprisingly rare!
<3
We are currently thinking off making our own ceramics… which would result in me making them! <3
Did I tell you I tried to get an apprenticeship at a pottery? Yeah, that’s just the thing I might do now! \o/
Holy shit - best of luck! I hope it works out. You certainly have a drive to do it.
Uh… first dry study. But YES! \o/ <3
You got accepted?! Oh my god! Hell yea!
Ah no. Sry. We got a misunderstanding here. It’s at the place where I paint the Ceramics. So all totally learning by doing. Not the professional career ;)
The mug looks fantastic! You should make some gaming themed ;-)
Thanks, I’m working on it. Trouble is with the copyright, but yep, I’m certainly on it :)
Sad to hear that a Sherlock game is that bad. I have a soft spot for detective games.
That is one amazing jug! That tree is beautiful. I’m not an expert, but I don’t think varnish is the word you’re looking for. AFAIK, Varnish means to apply a resin on wood. I could be wrong, though.
Yeah, I’m sad too. I mean, I could tolerate the screen not fitting and even the flying ppl. But if a riddle is just not doable… nope. Go away SH! ;(
Thank you! I’m so super excited about this one! <3
Yeah, no idea rly. I just did a quick search, soooo could be totally wrong o.o
