Rainbow Lounge

I'm going to do a batch of banners this weekend, so if you've been procrastinating, now's the time. This is what you earn banners for:

• Finishing a Color
• Posting one hundred pieces or a multiple thereof
• Completing ten, thirty, fifty, or any multiple of fifty of any Supply or Style
• Finish a Bichromatic, Paint-by-Numbers, or Tapestry by completing that color or those colors
• Finish a Saturation
• Finish a Palette. A palette is completed when all the colors have been done; they do not have to be done at the same time or in a particular order
• Finish any of the Masterpieces

Comment here to get your banners.

Not sure if you've earned something? Try out the auto count tracker. Here's how to use it. Feel free to ask me for help

As mentioned before, I've been doing some tweaking.

• Accomplishments is now called Masterpieces. I'm pretty sure I've updated it everywhere and when linked in a sidebar it says "masterpieces (challenges)".
• Several of the Masterpieces were updated
• the header image for Masterpieces has been updated
• there were a few images on Supplies that kept not showing up because they were still on ibb images. So Fingerpainting and Interactive Art's images have been updated.
• there was a question about Embroidery so I've added some q&as for it
• the generic banner for 10 threads has been added
• I added a second site for Chalk since Wired has a limited number of free articles
• the Rules, Supplies, Styles, and Palettes have been proofread and where necessary edited.
• The rules were added to the RainbowLists sidebar
• A few more q&a were added to Styles
• The new auto tracking sheet post is linked to on Masterpieces

Due to the discussion we had about tabletop roleplaying game sourcebooks and Mosaics, I've made a new supply.


A piece that uses the setting, minor characters, or other aspects of a canon of someone else's invention to tell an original story with original characters. See Q&A for examples of acceptable amounts of borrowing.

Q&A

• This was designed to allow the use of tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs) sourcebooks, but other media sources are allowed. The bulk of the story must be original.
• So I can write fanfiction, right? Not exactly. This isn't a fanfic community, so the bits you borrow should be a minor.
• Can I use homebrewed ttrpg content? Yes.

I've also made a wip page with examples for gesso and mosaic -  - I'd appreciate comments and critique before I finalize it.

In regards to tagging, there are a few things you can do:
- not change anything and tag things as gesso from now on
- only change it in your personal records
- add gesso and !needs tags to appropriate pieces or let me know in the comments here what you would like changed

Due to the nature of the addition, no prototype achievement for it will be awarded. Gesso has been added to the tags on rainbowfic 

I still have to finish the art for the completion banner, but you can start claiming Prototype!

Be the first to use a Supply, Style, or Color (including custom palettes created by mods for events)

Put your claim on the goal completions page https://rainbowlists.dreamwidth.org/89126.html

You can go back as far in time as you want.

This is everyone who is owed novelty beads. I'll hand them out at the linked works.
