I don't know why this bothers me so much....

But it's like people who know how to make kandi gas mask are sworn to some kind of secrecy. I would LOVE to learn how to make one, but I'm the type of person that needs some kind of visual aid, weather it be a video tutorial or a picture one. I have scoured the internet to find something, ANYTHING! remotely helpful and came up empty handed. I know I'm not the only one who feels this way...right?

White_rabbit_alice, yes everyone is capable to learn on their own, and when i said that i was talking about kandi not Work or anything of that sort. I know that school is there to help you learn, of course. But kandi is simple, you may think of it as a complicated enough craft to compare it to lets say, doing brain surgery, or things like that where you actually need the help from a professional that knows what theyre doing, but kandi is not like that . Its all in you, whatever you set your brain to is what you are able to achieve. You can either take over your disablities or let them take over you. Youre the only one setting yourself back. Just try it.

eh when u treat it as an art or in a "professional" manner ull make so much better things. everyone learns at their own pace yes but if that were the case their wouldnt b anything other than singles made cause no one would have figured stuff out ppl are forgetting what kandi truly is, its about friendship yes, but thats a small facet of what it truly is. its about creativity, expressing urself, finding ur style or niche if u will. standing out in ur own way. everyone wnating to make everything they see is cool and all but it kills the creativness that spawned it, kills the purpose for it, takes away from that persons style and personality when i first started making kandi in 99 there werent any tuts, there was no help just sitting down on ur own or with friends, throwing around ideas and making them happen

It's like magic. A magician may teach you how to do a couple of card tricks, but they're not going to show you their finishing act. Then everyone would be walking around doing magic. It would get old, boring, and not as exciting and fun anymore. The skill wouldn't be appreciated as much.

last post from me in the forum for a while: look respect my opinions or don't dosent bug me I don't have to share anything anymore an opinion is there to be respected and. Chances are its built on 1 persons beliefs or experiences i learn how to do things in three steps i watch first then i do it with help then i do it on my own that's the way my brain works everyone learns differently and at there own pace so saying well you should learn on your own to me is like public schools lumping us all together and expecting us to learn at the same pace there getting better with ap and advanced classes while this comunity is not, your showing us basics then getting mad when we ask for help on the big stuff

lol i dont think anyone was disrespected though going arounf touting how "unplur" ppl are and such is disrespectful. everyone here is just sharing thier views and everyone learning diffierntly has nothing to do with the topic at hand. just cause u olearn things different than others doesnt mean u cant sit down and figure somthing out. kandi is about friendship or plurr (its IS important and a facet of kandi) but its about expressing urself, showing ur creativity, standing out while fitting in. its supposed to have ur own lil touch. supposed to b as unique as urself. being lazy and saying do it for me so i can b as cool/stand out/sell/promote myself takes away from that. b4 tut's and patterns designers it was rare to see large pieces cause no one was deligent enough and creative enough to sit down and make it happen accept for a few, which was their own signature and style. it was their way of self expression. i think if someone cant b creative, delegent, pateint, and smart enough to

make somthing urself in ur own style and manor that u shouldnt b making kandi in the first place. making clones of everything u see takes away from how special somthing is. and sitting down and saying its only about plur/trading/friendship dilutes and trivialises what kandi is. might as well b a trading crad game if thats the case >.>

Halodiable then why have this website why have tutorials on the internet because if we should all do our own thing and not market it what would happen you would get factions AND YES LEARNING STYLE DOES AFFECT WHITHER YOU DO SOMETHING OR NOT because if i could self teach myself everything about kandi i would not have needed youtube in the first place and before you say that's not what i meant or your twisting it its a double sided street like proposition B in Missouri trying to increase cigarette tax if they cant have there pleasure then why should i be allowed fast food without additional tax or internet i swear i think i'm done because if people cant respect other peoples beliefs and personal experiences that back them up and besides halodiablo everything in this day and age is a rip off for the most part

What kind of masks are you looking for? I've seen really cool ones but I don't know how to make those but I have seen tutorials for a surgeon mask and a bandana
