it's everywhere, this tree.
not this again
no that's why they remind me of maggie
they're so rude
goose eat him? probably. (you spat it out) this is not good
this can't be good. you want this bag? oh my god I'm scared
don't touch me oh this is a bad idea (yes it is) i'd get goosed so bad
I'm glad that a year later or two years later maybe... the hoops are suddenly
getting a little bit more appreciation lately. look how pretty he is. I'm actually
starting to run out of washi tape. I didn't think it would ever happen but it did.
u know what that means... I get to get more. I don't know what to do with this one is a bit big and not that great. what am i gonna get
next. I'm gonna get really excited about this. the struggle continues with this
thing.. having like multiple different types of paper is kind of fun in theory
and then you go to use your journal and it's just like I feel too intimidated to
use it, which is silly... and I kept thinking well colored paper like this
would be perfect for pencil crayon and so I figured I shouldn't wait to have
ideas or to have some kind of specific thing to draw on these papers
I should just limit the medium to the paper and then just go with it.
so I used pencil crayon to sketch out this dream landscape. so more pencil crayon
on this side I guess? and I guess vellum is kind of limited in what I can
do with it as well but I guess it would be great for
writing notes or scribbling thumbnails or something
that'd be nice. then I can go back to using watercolor on all of these type of
things. I just I really need to start getting into the feel of this
particular sketchbook. whenever I feel like I want to just sketch something
really quick or write a note or plan something out and just like I can't use
that new journal. it would be such a waste of nice paper. but you know I still
have all this vellum to use. it's perfect for stuff like that. I can't paint on
vellum that much. I think I put something right on this page and
so it's like I think it was like a glass of water I
just put it on there that's the side effect of having
the couch next to my workspace. it's also an end table. you know how when you
use lots of acrylic paint and things inside your sketchbook and pages
stick together? so if I'm like sitting leaning on this book or if I just have it
sitting here it will stick to the table and it will stick to other books if I
have it on the Shelf. that's kind of annoying, especially if I'm like using
the book like a ring bound. if I'm holding it like this for example yeah
and sometimes I'll do that because if I'm sitting on a desk, you know? I want
to just like have a good sturdy back to it. I could just fold it all around but
then the covers stick together so I might have to address that someday.
not right now. I have a lot of things that I want to get done. I'll show you
some things that I got from Daiso yesterday. I got I got this. I think it's
like seaweed chips that are like battered maybe with something. tempura
seaweed. I ate one yesterday it's good.
so these taste very much like... you ever do that thing when you're a kid where
you take a pack of ramen noodles like flavored noodles and then you just smash
it up in the bag and eat them raw after you put the salt pack on it? it tastes
like that except with the very strong seaweed after taste. yeah, it just like
almost exactly like that, it's good
I got a new bento box. I actually really really like using boxes. like I
had this one. I think I got from like superstore or something? it's had
better days. but it kinda has this nice divider which I love and it's a good
size. that's pretty. this one has two pieces so like there's the bottom and
then there's a top there's no dividers but the whole thing
itself is I guess it's a divider so hopefully I can microwave things in
this. sometimes i ruin my boxes when I put them in the microwave. I don't know I just
I really like using these a lot better when I'm not using, if i'm not taking
just one food item. I like to have dividers and stuff. I got this pouch.
should be cool to put your lunch in. it's got a gusset. some of these "don't put too
much"
put your sauces and things inside this for your like rice and then salad... salad
dressing can go in there really nice. what do I use that for. not very much.
sometimes I use it to take water with me when I'm painting outdoors and I got um
gift wrap. I love that gift wrapping stations so much. this one also has a
gusset. I usually make cookies every year so I thought be nice to have nice
bags for that . i get gudetama candy. some hard candy I don't know
anything. it says Apple on it so I'm guessing it's apple. and he's
well he's got a cute butt and he's an egg. probably gonna give him to somebody
this is the only only ink pen that they had - brush pen at Daiso
when I was there. they usually got more but I guess everyone's been buying them?
this is not even the one that I bought so I hope it's still good. I got my
envelopes, so I can mail things in nice envelopes instead of just plain
envelopes. I was hoping that they would have something more exciting but..
with the Canada Post, they do have mailing guidelines and so things that
are like busy patterns and stuff? I think you can technically mail it but it
I wouldn't want want to because I don't want it to like get lost inside of a
machine because the machine won't be able to read the address if there's
patterns all over and I don't want... I didn't want to risk it. so the best I
could do is brown. I think that's technically it cuz I
bought two bentos. oh yeah good day I spent a lot longer in there then I
expected and I think I could have bought a whole lot more things but I didn't .
I decided to bring in my shamrock cuz I came to like it very much so
even though it looks kind of gangly and sick. I kinda want to gather these up cuz
I don't them hanging off the edge and then falling off as they die. because
it's not good for cats. it's actually more or less a toxic plant so I
want to control you're dropping here. I'm kind of surprised that this thing lived
all year... there's so many in there. I'll fix it. yeah I mean
it's a bit crowded for sure. got to repot this in spring if it survives
apparently doesn't like freezing weather so at the very last minute I brought it
in it's probably not gonna like it in here at all. I'm gonna fix this leaf thing.
instead of doing a bunch of art stuff I spent the entire afternoon
cleaning so one of the things is I had a bunch of
IKEA you know those frameless clip-on photo
frames. they didn't work because the clips don't fit
they just don't so I think one had clips still attached to it, i put that in the
giveaway pile and I threw away all the cardboard and I was gonna toss or do
something with these but I don't know if I wanted to get rid of... okay this is
heavy. i don't know if I really wanna get rid of these. first of all these pieces of glass are
ground down so they're not sharp which is nice. I feel like if I had more
experience I could have like done some really cool art stuff with these you
know like I would love to hang stuff from the glass and like the window and
stuff and especially since I've got this UV spray now. it seems like a
no-brainer right, to paint on these. I just don't know if I want to because I
don't know what I would do with them after. it would be really difficult to
hang such a thing hmm. so those are just off to the side while I think about that
at Michaels I got these. I haven't sprayed around doilies for so long. that
was like my thing back in the day. I got them because they kind of look like
they're made of fabric and I thought that those would last longer
yeah so if I use this as like a stencil they probably won't rip and tear and
stuff as quickly as the paper ones do. so I just got those for fun you know. not
really art journaling much. and I got a bunch of these to add some hand-painted tree ornaments they're
not that interesting I was hoping that I could find ones that they normally have
interesting shapes with like a blank... like a center and then a really cool
border around it. I was gonna paint one of those but i couldn't find any. I think they're
just out of style or something. so I guess what I
could do since I'm procrastinating is I could prep the
this with ground something maybe? you gonna make a video mo? why are you on my desk mo? just
gonna stay here? why are you so snuggly today
I heard of the stuff reacts badly with alcohol inks so let's just test it on
one of these extra pieces I have hanging around
it's much too cool to be doing that yeah but I can't really change the weather
I can't see any difference. I don't see any reaction but we'll see.
this is the most unproductive week ever . I feel like I've been sitting here for
hours but I've only done like two of these and I already don't want to keep
going because I'm hungry. it's not even quite five yet and it's
nighttime. it's nighttime. it's quarter to 5:00. so hungry so hungry maggie, where are you maggie
and I only have this one stupid desk lamp so dark. you
can't see nothing. doesn't really make me like... I really hate making videos in the
winter because all my videos just looks so dark even if I like jack up the
brightness it's like there's too many harsh shadows everywhere
I even left the UV spray test outside and I don't want to go out and
get it. it's cold and I don't care so it's just gonna stay out there forever.
it's a Christmas cactus ohmygooood. i got a cactus, mo
he's so handsome, too. lookatthisthing. lookatit. i don't know wat i'm going to do with you. just don't know
there we go. oh he's so handsome. it's so foggy mo.
