I'm also trying to find out what paper will give the promised effect of looking red first and then drying blue with T&L Do you feel blue. This would be much easier if I inked it in a pen, which I guess is a task for tomorrow.

I was considering putting it in my Jinhao 59 (a pocket pen with integrated nib), and I am glad I didn't because that ef nib is indeed very ef.

I generally don't look at them as closely as you do, though sometimes I swatch on multiple papers. I didn't take pictures, but today when I swatched some inks, Troublemaker Kelp tea came out really ...

Also related, it made me curious about my single wearingeul ink which is too light to write with... So I swatched it on all three and yep, much more legible on the wearingeul card, which, argh.

I didn't take pictures, but today when I swatched some inks, Troublemaker Kelp tea came out really splotchy and weird on a colorverse card, and like I expected on tsubame, so just for the heck of it I got out one of my wearingeul cards and it looked completely different. I wish I got those shades of green and pink from it regularly.

the tsubame cards had very low glow of their own when I tried them (all my swatches are on those for comparability, with supplemental swatches tucked in the pocket* with them).

*I keep swatches in business card binder inserts in an a4 binder

oh fascinating, under my uv light it glowed neon blue (on a tsubame swaych card). I suppose uv lights also have different spectrums and different results...

halloween wasn't even a thing here until recently and now they're beginning with it in summer. Although my gripe is about the retail stuff, not people being excited by coming holidays. But also we have so short a summer already, I feel like this shortens it further.

Forgot to get drill bits for the pots and tiles.

But I did pick up some asters and mums and an ivy to fill out the lack of flowers for the pollinators this time of year. Stuck a hanging planter in the bird feeder stand, and the mums are out front with the last of the pansies.

It's not perfect, they're going deeper in the soil, but I need to move some irises first. And for now it's a big improvement :)

New to the Destickening?

It's my ongoing destash of my personal collection, because I have been buying stickers when stressed for like 20 years, and I still do it, but I can't use all these.

I fill an envelope and add a note and send (everywhere the local post allows me to send letters, so most of the world).
About reciprocity: I do NOT want stickers back, but appreciate cards/letters or a post showing which you like.

I will need a physical address including country via dm or signal.

It's totally fine if you've got stickers before to ask again, no shame.

Holo stickers, activist stickers, trans stickers, totally random and weird stickers not related to any of the above. Also some waterproof decals.

If we are mutuals I might include something I think suits you in particular. 🤔
