My first two spins for SE2SE are done! Dyed Cotswold locks (8oz) from Poppy Creek Farm became 236 yards of funky art yarn. The locks were a little sticky– a combo of lanolin and a little extra dye– and there … Continue reading

June Art Snacks, Sketch Box, iPen Box, and Maker Monthly :P
I’m way behind on reviewing these, so I’m just going to combine the four into one Mega-Post. Art Snacks: I’m not huge on pencils, but this one was fairly pleasant to work with. Kuretake #7 is NOTHING like the … Continue reading

April 2016 Art Snacks :)
My Art Snacks box arrived yesterday! 🙂 So far I’d say Art Snacks and iPen are tied in the enjoyment factor… Maker Monthly is currently irritating me/no communication/ no shipment/ charged me for two months and I haven’t received anything … Continue reading

Anfangen ist leicht, beharren eine Kunst.
