I am currently super into a clear, bright, light orange-yellow tangerine color. Like a lemonade sunrise.

Watercolor, crochet thread, embroidery floss

Results: the marker held up fine. Stamp pad not so much, but now that I'm thinking about it the martini might have been done in proper block-pronting fabric paint. Science would probably be better served if I labelled my experiments 🤣

A green-yellow tie dyed bandana with a snowflake-ish design block printed on black, with parts colored in in red and orange

Also did one for a wash test, with "permanent" markers (do I sound like I've been burned? GOLLY). Both stamp pad and markers have been wash-tested after heat-setting, which the directions do not call for, but I am skeptical for Reasons

Small square with a snowflake-like print in black, that has petals and hearts. The design hangs off the edges in several places. It is painted in spring colors of pink, lime, tangerine, and blue.

"It's under an inch and a half, how long can it take?"
As it turns out, 2.5 hours from design, to carving, to turning the kitchen upside down looking for the stupid stamp pad, to printing and discovering it's still too big, to watercolors. Good thing there was no rush.

Timeline cleanse. Sound up.

I have to finish these current projects, so I can make the projects I have this yarn for, because I already came up with a new project I want to get more yarn for.

Long ago I worked at a fabric shop, and each quarter the patterns/trims companies would rotate out old styles/colors to make room for new. The manager was supposed to destroy them so they couldn't be resold, but would just chuck them out back.
We did a lot of dumpster diving that year.

in college I worked at the Bombay Company, one of my mom’s favorite stores, and my middle-aged gay boss was obsessed with her. anytime something got even a tiny scratch, corporate ordered you to throw it out. he’d just lie and then hide it in a secret Theresa Could Fix This box for me to take home 😂

Small square watercolor of a hand holding a paint brush, which now has a shadow similar to the hand and the water cup

I looked at my reference photo after this and was poked in the eye by the lack of shadow from the paintbrush 🤦🏻‍♀️
Tell me you have no art training without telling me, etc
Quick fix later

A table is set with painting supplies - a cloth bag, a water cup with a bush perched across the top, a closed palette. Against the palette is leaning a small square watercolor of a table with painting supplies - a water cup, an open palette with a rainbow of colors. A pale hand is holding a paintbrush that is painting a purple swish on a small square watercolor.

#the100dayproject day 19, in which I try out water in a piston-filling brush fountain pen. As anticipated, I like it better than the squeezy kind of water brush.

#the100dayproject day 18, in which I ask, wait, can you embroider on watercolor paper?
Yes, it turns out. Carefully.

I have told several of my friends that there are people taking active steps towards making the apocalypse happen, and the reaction is always, "no way, that's crazy talk". I wanted them to be right.

Leo: Someone will try to make you feel better with stupid platitudes today. It works. After you gut them with a pen you'll feel much better.

“But what if we gave the One Ring better training?”

Triangles, triangles, triangles. They have 1, 2, 3 sides and 1, 2, 3 angles! Triangles, triangles, triangles - this is a triangle song!
I never meet anyone who remembers the "opera day" episode of Sesame Street, but this song reappears in my head kind of a lot.

6 mugs in one image. The first on the top left is blue and has a cat as a handle! The next to the right is intergalactic themed. To the right (and last in the top row) is a brown and blue mug called Spring Moss. In the bottom row, is a blue, red and brown mug with dotted clay. In the middle is another brown and blue mug with a more delicate handle. On the bottom right is a delightfully purple mug made of porcelain.

New mugs are heading into the kiln soon 🔥

To make room, most of the remaining mugs are now $65, shipping included.

If one’s been calling your name, this might be the moment to bring it home.

And if not, a share always helps. 🙏

Small square watercolor of a sleeping cat's head drawn in pink ink and painted orange and brown

I found a cheap, piston-filling fountain pen with a brush tip instead of a nib, and put a permanent ink in it to mess around. #the100dayproject day 12

Day 1 of #The100DayProject. I'll mend a hole daily. And advocate + model being an amateur! Amateur comes from amo, amore. Be a lover of what you do, dare to do it imperfectly. Don't leave the care and repair of our world to the professionals.

Ha! I love it!

Cool!
