I picked up an old writing desk at a thrift store for $70, and it's made such a difference in how I engage with #art

Being able to have all my #fountainpens and #inks in an easily accessible place alongside journals and stationary makes it so much easier to do small bits of art through the week

🎶Everything Sucks 🎶 But look at this 🎶 cool fungus thing 🎶

Yay for tiny #mushrooms to distract from ✨the horrors✨

Broad-billed Mot-Mot through the scope

I'd never heard of these birds before my trip to Costa Rica, and now they are one of my favorites!

Me: Check out that bird over there! But don't make it obvious, we don't want to scare him away

So is there a #CrapBirdPhotography group here on bsky?

Cause this little Volcano Hummingbird posed just perfect for me 🙄

The national bird of Costa Rica, Clay-colored Thrush 🪶

Some call it Costa Rica's most beautiful bird! While it may not have flashy feathers, seeing one just makes you smile

I settled on a new layout for ink swatching, and I'm super happy with it 🥰

Variety of tone and sheen in inks can be hard to see when writing with my fountain pens (I need to get a medium nib 😅), so this method lets me really see the colors!

My fellow ink lovers, how do you swatch new ink?

Have I uploaded any of my trip photos to social media yet?
No.

Have I uploaded almost 200 observations to #iNaturalist, created a group project, & the accompanying graphics on a whim?
Yes 😎.

Nature Journal with me 😌 Flling in our pages from Costa Rica 🇨🇷

The practice of nature journaling has helped me to start #sketching again, and it has been a great way to get good use of my #fountainpens and #inks
