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...

…I love the stickers and the bookmarks, also…you really do have an empire to build with your talents…

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)

Speaking of T-shirts, I hate this shirt with a passion. Just so awful...

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:





Final Bookmark form:

Adding to my collection of bookmarks (not trimmed yet)

Made this to hold a treasured gift for a friend. The design is my own... except I forgot to mirror it

It's the first time I've pressed to this material so I had some minor issues with it applying, but otherwise, happy with it:


This is the second one I did (this bag was not big enough), so I did it in the correct orientation... :


I prefer the coziness of the 1st bag personally. It's more opaque. I just had issues with pressing it. I did make a lavender sachet out of one of them... I have 18 more of them to do whatever I please and now also 19 more of the bigger ones because I had buy a whole pack...

I also got some silky lavender drawstring bags for blanks. I only have 3 of those, but I'll put some designs on them and maybe give to child to store her favorite things in since it's a "cuter" material.
