Ive Been Getting A Little Bored Of The Stamps I Use When I Package Etsy Orders, So Ive Made Myself Some

I’ve been getting a little bored of the stamps I use when I package Etsy orders, so I’ve made myself some address labels! The larger ones are for the customer’s address and the little ones are for the return address. (I did have to edit the top one slightly from how it appears here to give myself more space though.) I was tempted to make more, but I’ll stick with these two for the time being. I have a bad habit of being over-enthusiastic when I make things and ending up with too many to use!

My poor Mum is in hospital again (she’s very healthy but has had really bad luck for the last couple of years) so I made her a get well soon card. She really likes Poppet so I hope it will cheer her up.

Do you remember the Pocket Witches? Introducing Pocket Witch Vox! Before she took shape Vox encountered a little girl who loved to sing, she had no ear for music at all and was horribly out of tune, but she was too little to know it and loved to listen to the radio and belt out songs at the top of her voice, pretending to be a pop star. It made her so happy that Vox was able to take form from her happiness, and took the shape of a song! Unlike the little girl, Vox is an excellent singer who can mimic any voice and change her outfit to match the song she sings. She likes to hang around humans who love music and sing along to whatever they’re playing, she doesn’t care if you’re any good, only that it makes you happy. Karaoke bars are her favourite place in the world.

Have some crows! The one on the left was part of a birthday card, the one on the right was... well I traced the left hand one and that was what it wanted to be I suppose. It’s watching us all.

I don’t often have nightmares (in the sense of dreams that have a real feeling of terror rather than just horror imagery) but I do often see monsters in my dreams. Lately I’ve been doing watercolour sketches of some of the ones I remember. In related news, I think I’ve finally got the hang of wet-on-wet watercolour painting. (The pictures have captions if you like flavour text.)

Inktober 2018 : Day 6 - Pentel Pocket Brush Sorry these are all so late! I promise I am drawing them on the day, I’m just really busy and don’t have access to my scanner every day. Last year I was inspired by Heikala’s amazing inking videos to get better with my brush pen, I think I’m making progress! It’s getting blustery where Louise lives, now that Autumn is here.
