One of the things I love about my studio location is the two story windows that perfectly frame the autumn colors. I can sit on my couch and feel okay in those moments.

Good news-- I was accepted into Geek Girl Con & Market of the Beast.

One of the things I'm selling is my copic collection. 32markers, 33 25ml refills, some other related goodies for $350

The whole experience from start to finish has been a unique journey.
Im glad I took the job even if it felt a little out of my normal work. It was nice to do something different. Also my first time attending a professional soccer game.

While I didn't have a breath taking moment seeing the stands with people twirling my scarf design in the air (it was 95f, wtf with a heavy woven scarf)
It was still impactful being on the giant screens.
Was told while leaving that someone said "that's the person who designed the scarf"

Studio update time! Got some coats of red down. Need to get a telescoping pole to do edging details.
Did a couple coats black in the rest of the space (so forgot to snag a couple pics). Vision is starting to come together

Gofundme update-- made the $1200 goal over the weekend. Currently at 33% funded, which is so exciting! Thank you for everyone who has helped so far.
New goal is $3000 so I can buy a nice washout station(one I don't have to McGyver) and flash dryer for curing stuff onsite
