I was excited to find that I had just enough inks to get through the last days of Inktober. I have a few black inks that I didn’t use, but I dug into all of my samples and bottles for this project.

This week I continued Inktober despite traveling on vacation. I did end up using different tools – I took my Ink Joy Gel Pens and my Marvy Le Pens with me. In general I was less happy with this week’s drawings. I’ll share a secret – I usually sketch what I want really lightly in… Continue reading Inktober, Week 3

I spent a little while looking at the sets, deciding if I wanted a tonal set versus a more variegated set, and whether I wanted to do a trio or a quartet. I finally settled on… Continue reading Knit Me: Zen Yarn Garden Gradient Sets

From the website, Organic Bliss… Continue reading Drink Me: American Tea Room, Organic Bliss
Each year, sometime in August, the switch flips and all I can think about is knitting warm, cozy fall sweaters. A few weekends ago we had a weird weekend; the weather got down into the 60’s and it was rainy and the world smelled like fall. It has since gotten warmer again, but that was… Continue reading Sweater Weather
