This is probably the most elaborate way someone showed me an ad.

She still won't like you tho.

Edit: For anyone wondering, "deleted" told everyone she wouldn't like them, she just wants to sell her stuff, and finally, "deleted" linked her Etsy page. It's kind of poetic, but in a pathetic way

Isn't sharing cool creations they put their heart into upon a media sharing sub openly, and providing free videos talking about the creation process on the internet, "giving something back"?

Also, what are they "taking" from you by posting this?

Neat. I always thought those were called torc's. A quick search now says torc's are worn around the neck. Steven Erickson apparently has been using the wrong term in his Malazan Book of the Fallen series.

And what's so wrong with that? Major brands market their shit on Reddit all the time, why are you so up in arms about this one person doing it too?

Wow, you saved the day. Here, have a medal. I typically sell these medals on Etsy at www.etsy.com/r/gifs but this one for you will be a gift. Enjoy my handmade state-of-the-art medal, made entirely by hand out of med and al.

Joking aside, there's no call to action. This isn't a straight up ad. It's just someone sharing their work. Just enjoy looking at it. They're not telling you to buy it.

CockGobblin t1_iryq4gl wrote

> This isn't a straight up ad.

OK. Look at their post history, they post this stuff often then give their Etsy link / "check my profile" in the comments when someone happens to say, "this is beautiful, do you sell them?"

In the last thread on /r/gifs, the 3rd top comment has her promoting her business.

-Captain--Obvious- t1_is2gx3r wrote

If someone asks for a link to buy them, then that isn't an ad. That's someone asking where they can buy them. If OP were putting a call to action straight away in the post, with a call to action directly in one of the photos, then yeah, that's an ad. As an artist and jewelrysmith myself, I see nothing wrong with this post.

CockGobblin t1_is2hl9p wrote

An account that ONLY posts/comments on their work is an account used for marketing. Look at their post history - they don't use reddit for any other purpose than to solicit clients. (I went back 30 days; only posts/comments on their stuff. They don't comment in any threads on the subs they submit too - unlike you or I, who are engaging in posts/comments that aren't our own)

phenomenal piece!

What kind of wire was used?

Buffyferry OP t1_irznac7 wrote

It's silver plated copper wire that is also coated, so it won't tarnish. For the "gold" tree I used brass wire. 1.2 and 0.3 mm.

Homie, I've made wire trees before, but not incorporated into a well made armlet, with a nice stone like that as the focal point.

But yeah, just another tree.

Also, look at the symmetry involved on the face of the armband. That shit is not easy to do by hand, not like you'd know.

Irrelevant. It is the same design that's made by absolutely everyone. It isn't unique. It isn't even good looking. But sure, keep simping for someone where every single thing on their Reddit page is the same low quality arm band or ring.
