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)
