The main goal for this year is to online the shop, which requires me finishing up the product pictures to five more products (hopefully) minimum. I&#8217;m hoping to have the shop open February 1st. The selection of items for sale will be limited to prints (for now) and then as I get more comfortable with things I&#8217;ll expand to other products. Maybe. I&#8217;m hoping this serves as motivation and inspiration to keep creating, even if I don&#8217;t sell anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other news, I&#8217;m looking for some waterproof ink. The two that I own (pictured above, Waterman and Noodler&#8217;s Ink) are NOT waterproof. I&#8217;m not sure why everyone keeps telling me Noodler&#8217;s Ink is, this one most certainly is not, I wet a little bit of my writing and it smudged all over the place. I own 2 (soon to be 3) fountain pens, and I&#8217;d really like to be able to sketch with my pen, but I also want to be able to apply watercolour paint over top. The search continues. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I hope everyone survived the holidays and are looking forward to the promises that a new year brings!
