I spent some quality time at my work table today. Messed with watercolors, then dabbled with dip pens and inks. It was relaxing. I’ll probably do it again tomorrow.

I also had a little revelation while doodling with a dip pen. Had Pigma Micron pens existed when my dad was alive, he’d have ditched the dip pens and used the Pigma Microns.

I have opened the third storage box containing arts and crafts crap. It contains a lot of finished artwork. Also contains a ton of literal junk. Ziplock bags full of weird or interesting small objects I found in parking lots or streets. Or things my husband found at his construction sites.

The first thing I pulled out to investigate was a vintage green box designed to store something the size of checks in monthly compartments. It is filled with the receipts from every trip to the grocery store I made in 2014.

I’m just going to close this box back up. I don’t feel like dealing with any of this today.

My collection of favorite drawing pencils, every last one of them older than I am and having once been my father's favorite drawing pencils, is growing worryingly minimal. I don’t want to use them all up and not have them anymore, for sentimental reasons, so I suppose it is finally time for me to actually buy my own damn drawing pencils.
