I do like to draw. One of my grail art supply item has always been Copic markers. But they were very expensive. My sister got me some Prismacolor markers when I was in college and they were great, but not too awesome for illustration for me. I didn’t get the blending I liked, so I stuck with just coloring in Photoshop.

I ended up buying a set of Copic Multiliners and WOW. Instant love. Why didn’t I buy these when I was in college? Anyway, I kept using them exclusively for my lineart. Eventually, after viewing more and more art, I decided to go for it. For Christmas last year, I bought myself 2 sets of Copic markers.

And I keep buying more and more…! I’m mostly collecting the grays. I feel afraid of moving into color for some reason. But I do have the skintones set and a beautiful blue that I was lucky to win from Copic’s Facebook page :)

I don’t post my art really anywhere except my Tumblr and Deviantart page :)

I got a new camera a few days ago. It’s a Canon EOS Rebel T1i. It’s my first DSLR, so it’s intimidating, but I’m slowly learning about it.

Since he’s level to me, I took some shots of Ender. Then I experimented with some Instagram-like Photoshop actions :3

More blog posts! What what D:
Well, I’ve taken a few photos, just haven’t gotten to posting them.

For the past 2 months, I’ve been knitting every day. I am not the greatest knitter, but I haven’t yet challenged myself to knit a hat or something… just scarves. Lots of scarves. I randomly ran into a great project called Scarves for Japan, which is taking donations for knitted or crocheted things. I really wanted to be a part of this, so I worked hard!

There’s been a lot more rain lately. That’s very good because it’s so hot! But today is such a gloomy day outside… so I took some pretty pics inside ^^

I wanted to start this post about something really cute…. Lucky Stars!

A few months ago, I got really addicted to making these. My sister and I made them when I was younger– actually she made them and I watched in envy! I never understood why mine never worked. A decade later I found out why… I was too used to making tight creases from origami! Lucky Stars aren’t meant to be folded like that ^^; Then… I was making over 100+ stars a day lol Something really great came of it too– I used to get very slightly bothersome hand cramps after hand sewing (like tiny snaps and buttons!), but making lucky stars have really helped my hand dexterity!

The story goes that if you make 1000 lucky stars, then your wish will come true ^^ I actually did make a wish *a secret!* and it did come true ^^ I need to make more so I can sneak another wish xD
