Mucking around with my markers again. Patting myse Mucking around with my markers again. Patting myself on the back to celebrate my almost 10th pull-up. 😁 I procrastinate (I'm hoping like we all do, maybe more), so I try to make my procrastination as "productive" as possible to partially reduce the anxiety of always thinking I'm supposed to be doing something else no matter what l'm doing.

7 May 2021: This bumper pack of dotcards went out 7 May 2021: This bumper pack of dotcards went out to my cousin @joichichan, who's currently experimenting with traditional watercolours. She's a really serious manga artist who's been drawing forever. Tracking data says that it's in Canada now and I hope she gets it soon.
Behind the scenes: Making something exciting for m Behind the scenes: Making something exciting for myself today. A compact palette of 99 Holbein watercolors. Deciding on the colors to leave out was hell and squeezing them onto the swatch card took forever. But oh, what a lot of fun! I can't wait to use this.

It survived World War 1, and various stints as prop and shop decor. Now, it's gone to live with a nice gentleman who picked her up the day I listed it.
