Put this together one night for relaxation time "just because"

Eurodance themed... plan to turn this into a fun bookmark if I don't make anymore changes to it...

These were done for practice as I just recently picked back up pointed pen... (dip pen with Speedball Super Black). I turned them into bookmarks using cardstock I had lying around to help thicken them up and then sent off to buddies of mine who are big readers:

They are Sakura flowers (Cherry blossoms). It's part of a series. I've also put them in sticker form and we hand them out to shopkeeps and other people just as a gesture. Sometimes if I mess up a sheet, I salvage what I can and let daughter attach it to her mirrors and drawing papers:

I couldn't draw sakura by hand without tons of pictures so I also associate it with the color. So it took a bit to draw them out and I took the time to study it so I could move it to B&W... now I kind of recognize it better out in the wild if I see other black and white drawings... also stickers are life...

Technology has really enabled a lot of things, Ammi. Some freely available tutorials and a good printer and a good plotter (cutty machine) .. they make the kind that can fit on your kitchen counter and you can make insert cards really quickly from your phone. I bought one of those to try because I was getting interested into moving towards signage. I gifted the little machine and all the goodies to my MIL in the end after my trial period. She may or may not have needed a suitcase packed full of vinyl rolls (granted, they're thickly packaged) to go back to the NE... (I may or may not have a problem)

…well, technology may have enabled more possibilities but a great creative talent is still required also, which you most definitely have, Maru……I love your designs …and that sounds like a fabulous suitcase that you gifted to your mother in law, I would say that most people would love to be given a suitcase like that and I think that your family/friends etc will feel that your problem is a pretty glorious one…I think that this is going to be one of my all time favourite threads …
