Crafter Serial Numbers
Olympia Brackin
I recently noticed my storefront page says I have made 1,774 sales. However, when I go to my stats page and have it display stats for all time, it only says I have made 1,625 sales. Why is there a difference (and a sizable one at that)? I would love to try to set a goal of hitting 2,000 sales by the end of the year, but doing that with one of those numbers is a lot easier than doing that from the other one.
Hmm that's odd. I just checked mine because I thought I had recently just passed 5k sales, but now it says 5932 sales and 4967 orders !! I understand why they are different numbers, what I don't understand is now the number of sales has changed so much in the last few days. I'm must be losing my marbles. I could have sworn I looked at it the other day and it said something like 5013 sales.
Oooh I found it - on my orders page it says 5015 completed orders. But in my all time stats it says 4967 orders. I think this is because the stats don't go that far back (to 2013) using the current system, so some are omitted???
Oh goodness. I'm going to stick with the number on my shop page. The numbers on my stats page and my orders page aren't the same, and it shows some orders further back than 2017, but it sounds like that may or may not be accurate. Oh well. Here's to hitting goals for all of us over the next few months!

Infinite Craft grants players infinite creative potential, allowing combinatory crafting to produce everything from fictional characters to philosophical concepts. But before reaching such dizzying heights, getting the basic building blocks of numbers unlocked first paves the way for additional discovery opportunities down the line.
The pieces that will cover the numbers are outlined in blue. The small and medium size pieces have windows that allow for the numbers on the lower piece to show through. Note how the size of the space allotted for each number affects the size of the window.
Notice how the above design has notches on the sides of two of the pieces. These allow for easier grip and turning of the dial. These should be considered in the final art design so that the notches do not reveal numbers of the layer below.
3 layers of chipboard fit snuggly in the rivet. A 2-piece dial will turn smoother and more loosely than a 3-piece dial. Making the rivet hole 0.32" rather than 0.31" will yield a dial that spins more freely. With a 3-piece dial, the rivet can be pinched slightly more to constrict spinning, as well.
Number sequencing: Here is a tile that has two dials inset with two rivets. The light blue line represents the cut lines. The orange dial for "Strength" and the purple dial for "Charisma". Notice the placement of the windows for the corresponding dial. The orientation of the numbers depends on the window placement. If the window is below the rivet, the numbers need to be upright at the bottom of the dial. If the window is directly above the rivet, the numbers should be upright at the top of the dial.
When sequencing numbers, consider how the dial will be held and which direction will feel natural to turn the dial. See how the red "Strength" dial would be turned down with a left hand, counter-clockwise, where the purple dial would likely be turned down with a right hand, clockwise. The numbers are sequenced accordingly.

This is not a must but this will help you understand the color palette. This helps you know how each color will turn out once it has dried ahead of applying them in your artwork. As well as the texture of each color.
Your canvas come primed from Craft-Ease, but we have heard from our community that applying a thin layer of clear gesso helps improve the grip of the canvas and makes paint applications much smoother.
That being said, we tend to start with lighter colors. Since mistakes are easily covered by layering a darker color on top of it. And I usually want my lighter color to dry first since I might need a couple more layers to form a completely opaque painting.
Melissa does have a really good tip on the direction where to go though. To avoid smearing your paint that has not dried, try to move in a direction that prevents you from laying your hand on wet paint.
So if you are right-handed, working from left to right helps. If you are a leftie, working from right to left is best. And always work from top to bottom, so that your hand does not rest on wet paint.
We would also like to recommend working from largest areas first, this way, you can see your painting shaping up much quicker. You will feel more motivated to finish the paintings, as opposed to the slow progress you will get if you start from the smallest areas first.
Make sure that you thoroughly clean your brush between colors and at the end of your painting session. This will prolong the life of your paintbrush, as it will become unusable if you left acrylic paint to dry on the bristles. This is also true when you are switching to a different brush; either clean it completely or leave it soaked if you plan on using the brush again in this session.
As we mentioned before, acrylic paint dried really quickly. This serves to a nice and smooth painting experience, and they keep their color for a really long time too. But this also means your paint pot can dry up before you finish your painting!
To avoid having your paint pot dry on you, make sure you keep the lid of the pot properly closed whenever you are not using that color! When stored correctly, our paint can stay workable for about 8 months after purchase
When you are happy with the result you have, you can go ahead and seal your painting. Use the clear liquid that comes with your kit, and apply a thin layer of this when your last paint layer has dried. This will give your painting a glossy finish, and the paint will be protected from dust and keep its color for a long time.
An additional step you can do if you have a framed kit, is to extend the painting to the sides and giving it a seamless look. Or just paint the sides of your canvas with black paint for a more polished, finish look.
