>> Oooh, I like the idea of friendship shirts! I'm keeping that in my back pocket for next time.<<

Yay!

>> Dharma Trading Co was our source.<<

Yeah, that's the gold standard for professional dyes. Go you!

>>But I have the terrible tendency to go, "I need green and brown and black specialty paints for my goblin miniatures, but look at this full-spectrum paint set on sale! It will be worth it so I can paint my fire genasi miniature next.<<

Failure of extrapolation. Those would be reasonable choices if you followed through. Study your actual use patterns, that may help with targeting.

>>I'll look into those! Thank you.<<

Also, look up. Do you have things like bookcases or china cabinets that you have not already put things on? If so, you've got another option for in-progress art projects. You can put things in boxes or on boards up there. A corner of bookcases will support a square board if it's not too big. And you can use something like "quake hold" putty to stick your minis in place so they don't tip over.
