show the sandbox pictures of stuff u made

i am scared my next apt might have an electric stove. i hate them :(
salmon looks good. what's in the middle? bok choy?

it is baby bok choy. it's cuter.

hey lxy

i need some advice on paint/paper combos - the idea i have is for a particular kind of concertina binding, and i want to sort of sponge paint all along one side of the paper, but i think i want it to be quite thick and textured. do i need to worry about the paint soaking into the paper? should i get particular paper/particular weights of paper? what type of paint?

i've never done this before so i'm a little nervous

what are the leaves

pineapple

making something right now where i misread the recipe and put 4x more turmeric than called for
oops

also cut a jalapeño and my entire right hand feels like it is in a fire? how did i do that
plz help

this too shall pass

harbl, how are your hands now?

ruby, i'm not an expert on what you're asking, however my intuition is that if you're using a heavy, textured paper you want one with a lot of sizing so it's less porous. and/or use a heavy paint that won't bleed or soak into the paper. what kind? dunno.

probably you want to ask at your art store, though, for a better answer than my half-assed guesswork.

my hand feels almost all the way better. i bought a large quantity of jalapeños though. i hope i will use them all for something

perhaps now go buy a large quantity of gloves

lol

thank u lxy! guess i'll just have to experiment

this reminds me to buy turmeric.
it's funny, when stocking a kitchen, how you forget about valuable spices like turmeric. they can really add a lot!

harbls, did you have a cut on your hand that sliced the jalapeno?

no visible cuts but maybe my hands are dry and have tiny ones

you are up early!

i always get up this early, 6 or 6:30

the hard part is actually doing something after i wake up that early so i should leave the internets now and have coffee and study things

the cat woke me up at 5:30 giving me a sensual butt massage but i went back to sleep for a little

uh

good morning to you both

the sandbox is boring when you are all asleep.

i am about to go to sleep right now lol

so, apologies in advance

you know how cats do this (weird video lol)

mock-up (v v rough-looking) of the deluxe edition of our latest book!

nice work!

smoove, that looks great. It reminds me of the vintage tourist photo/postcard books. Do you make the hand-laid paper (if that's what it is - it looks like it on my monitor) too?

thanks!

nope, we don't make the paper (the books would probably take us a year to make, if we did), we just hunt around at art supply stores. that decorative paper is actually made with banana leaves.

collaboration w/ my mom's bf's daughter, who I babbysat. she provided the storyline & I did like 2/3 of the artwork, but I refused to draw the dogpoo and dogpee and dogbarf and catbarf because those things are GROSS.

that's a nice rug you made, harbl. too bad someone's big ol' foot got in the way what would have otherwise been a great photo.
