I've begun coloring again. Enjoyed playing with marker blending techniques on this mandala I drew in Affinity a while back. #coloring #mandala #handdrawn #alcoholmarkers #gelpen (All my coloring from here on out will have the red hanko seal for my name.)
Hand drawn mandala in yellows, oranges, purples, and greens. White dots and lines bring contrast and highlight areas. The mandala has many organic petal and flower shapes.

🌟 Excited to share my latest project: Hitomezashi Style Sashiko Coasters! 🎨✨
I've been diving back into sashiko, the beautiful Japanese embroidery technique that combines art with tradition.
1/3
A set of four navy blue fabric coasters arranged in a square on a wooden surface. Each coaster features an identical diamond-shaped pattern created with white running stitches in the hitomezashi sashiko style. The diamonds are highlighted with a row of small cross stitches in alternating colors of yellow, light blue, pink, and green.

What's your favorite Japanese food? I have many favorites. But this one brings back great memories of my first trip to Japan - Curry Cheese Donuts!
curry cheese donut - with a few bites out of it. It was so yummy!

Finny hides from the camera, lately. I'm not sure why. He didn't used to be such a scaredy fish. He's still a water puppy, though! #FishyFriday

To settle my brain before I attempt to sleep, I've been drawing #mandalas on my ipad, printing them, and coloring them with alcohol markers as I listen to super chill music. Definitely making an improvement in my #sleep cycle! #art

Our local cat cafe helps adopt out rescues from the animal shelter. We just enjoy visiting. (I have allergies, so no home kitties anymore.) It was fun getting to pet them. This little guy was one of my favorites. (He reminded me of my first cat.) #felineFriday

You filled the lonely void inside my chest with a glow, a warmth that made hope bloom. But I was no knight—just a tool, a fellow secret keeper and plotter, there to get you out of a bind. “Partner” is the closest thing you called me to what I wanted.
