La La (Land Crafts), Copic Coloring

These days it seems I only get to color when I have to, and never have the time for it when I want to. My life is extremely hard. So today I cleared off some desk space, pulled out my Copics, and colored for fun. I picked Ruffles Marci because she looks so summery and I’m rather cold today. I …

Ballerina Marci in Sepia

This is the birthday card I made for my Moredad. His birthday was on the 8th, so I think (hope) he’s gotten it by now. He’s not on the internet much anyway so it’s not like this will be a spoiler for him. A dancing toddler is probably a strange choice for a man’s 91st birthday card, but I like …

While I was coloring, I noticed that an anonymous poster (who I strongly suspect is my mother) …

How silly is it to take pride in your coloring skills? I worked hard in kindergarten and want you to know it! For my samples today I used these awesome stamps …
