Glasses are almost certainly too large but no refunds allowed and can’t afford to replace them. Any options?

I’m having buyers remorse about my glasses that are probably too big. Scared to post a photo though but just wondering what others have done in this situation. I can’t afford to buy new ones, glasses shop won’t refund since they work just fine technically, and I signed a no exchange policy.

So what do I do?

Are there any options? Do I just suck it up for the year until insurance covers another pair?

Progress made and new challenge

The bird and apple picture is the first time I’ve used alcohol based markers! The top apple was the first thing I did and it was a rough start but I think I pulled it together after that and the rest of the pic looks pretty good.

Today I challenged myself with an entirely new issue, how to cover a lot of space with color without it being streaky; and also how to get a light/glow effect.
I feel like it’s really not that good 😞 all I see is streaks.

Any feedback on how I can improve? If I go over the sky with a layer of colorless blender will that help? At this point I have put down maybe 3 layers of the blue.

Firstly she is very vocal at home, and absolutely stands up for herself at home lol.

She was in early intervention for feeding issues and passed in February though so she had her services ended. But as part of the final exam she had a full assessment and scored average to slightly above average for socialization and receptive communication.

Now onto the issue. She has friends at school (although they are all younger) but she apparently barely talks to anyone. When she does talk it’s hard to understand because she’s so quiet. She is very interested in other children and plays with them so no issues there. But aside from not talking she just kind of shuts down if she gets hurt or if another child takes her toy. Like she doesn’t tell anyone she needs help and she doesn’t stand up for herself.

Her daycare provider expressed concern about it again today and even said I should bring it up to the pediatrician. She thinks she’s dealing with anxiety or not feeling confident even though she said it’s clear she’s having a good time and having fun and smiling.

What would the pediatrician even do? She passed early intervention so recently and it’s not like I’ve noticed any kind of regression since then so I don’t think she really needs to be evaluated.

I don’t even think she’s an overly anxious kid, certainly not to the point where it’s impacting our lives.

I feel like such a failure. I don’t know what to even do with this information and she didn’t have any suggestions on how we could work on it but I somehow feel it’s my fault.

Has anyone dealt with this? What wound up helping?

I have the 48 pack of Ohahu markers, and I tried to make the apple above, using orange on the highlight, then red over the whole apple, then green in the shadows, then red again everywhere trying to blend, then aggressively using the blender marker trying to blend.

It just won’t blend more than that. Do you think the green I chose for the shadows was so dark that it’s basically impossible to blend into the medium red?

The highlight was so frustrating because I hate when they outline it for you because to me it ruins the highlight effect but regardless the orange wasn’t light enough to truly make the red light. Any tips?

Any tips in general? I did admittedly use the chisel side for the apple and I feel like that was a mistake. Is the brush just better overall? What is the chisel even for then?

Ugh so frustrating because I have such limited free time with a toddler and I wanted this to turn out better lol

I got a nice set of ohuhu markers and a well rated coloring book with nice thick pages. And Still the markers bleed! I can of course put a sheet of paper between pages to protect the page below, but i still lose the picture on the back side of the page I’m working on. Do I just have to accept this loss?

My doc said wait an hour, but the bottle itself says wait 30 min. I usually wind up waiting 45-60 min. I’m wondering what others are doing?

Do you think it really makes a big difference in results when you wait 60 min vs 30 min? Can you feel the difference?
