Thanks. They’re a medical aid to help me process my own face in the mirror. Don’t have strokes, alright? They break stuff I never thought was breakable.
Can you point me to a topic where I canread more a out this kind of glasses and the underlying logic?
I think the best thing to do is to learn about the fusiform gyrus in your head, and what happens when it malfunctions, or stops working entirely.
So the notch in the glasses is a sign that you are looking at your own face?
Yup, like in photos and such, but also I know my right eyebrow is just behind the notch, and between that and touch, I can extrapolate the rest of my face enough so I can do simple makeup and shaving and such.
Daaamn, I’m sorry that happened to you! I know someone who had one a couple years back and she recovered very well. I hope you do the same!
My second stroke was in October ‘23. I can walk with a cane, and one of my hands doesn’t work well. Can still drive with the best of ‘em though, but I’m one of those weirdoes who follows the law and does three under in the rightmost lane cause I’m a heavy equipment operator, and I wanna be safe about it.
But yeah, can’t recognize any faces whatsoever.
Every time I see my wife is the first time, and goddamn does she look amazing.
Omg awweee <3
That definitely sucks, but is also kinda incredible. They match your style and personality perfectly. (All complimented by your sick-ass framed photo.
Shit, that's the goal, but no promises.
I need to get this one reframed so bad:
Unfortunately, when it’s hung up, it comes undone at the top of the frame joints.
It’s my magnum opus along with the rest of its project, and I love it so much.
That is a gorgeous photo, and that's a nice lightweight frame! That means that there are a few fixes you can try at home:
Of course, getting new frames from thrift shops is always a decent solution. Or, if you feel like it's worth the cost, consider printing it on canvas or metal. Lots of local print shops will do this in-house now.
Some of my works I’ve put on canvas ended up being a bit washed out and deprived of a whole bunch of little intricate details, I’m more of a gloss-and-frame kinda lady.
Eventually I’m gonna have to get it reframed right, cause I plan to get the whole project in an exhibition at some point in the future.
(And there’s me, briefly fantasizing about seeing, on the door of a gallery somewhere, ‘Matsuri Machi,’ by Tanis Nikana. A girl can dream.)
If you want a quick fix before reframing, you should be able to fit some small angle plates (screwfix - angle plates) to the corners for a bit of reinforcement. I'd suggest doing the other corners in the same way.
You can put a little sticky felt bumper pad on the back if you want to avoid the edges of the metal scratching the wall.
Ooooh. That’ll save the day! Thanks!
Now I just gotta trick a friend who has motor skills into coming over and helping me out. I think I can bait that trap with pizza. :D
I totally meant to add angle plates, or corner braces if you're nasty, to my list and forgot. Thanks for including that!
