The new colours arrived in the US this week... and of course I had to buy them immediately! The 12 new colours are the named ones above, the colours in parentheses are for my own comparisons of family colours or close colours. I really like all of them, except E89 Pecan (dark brown is dark brown, I didn't really need another one) and BG90 Gray Sky (which is too pale for my liking). I just updated my marker count over at my Copic Color profile... I now have 108 sketch markers (out of 358) and 4 wide markers (out of 36)! yay. And the word from Copic is that these will be the LAST new colours made for a while. They have been coming out with 12 new colours every year for six years now, and have filled up a 72 pc set with them (the Sketch 72E). And honestly, I'm glad... I'm tired of having to re-arrange the shelves in the warehouse to fit in the new colours every stinkin' year! ;) So. I wish I could update my Copic profile with some actual art. But I've not been doing anything creative at all. Will try to work on that soon... |

Nevermind that I've been away for so long... Here are the projects that I'm curently working on.
∞ Letter Mo! From the outside, it's going great; I have sent out mail every single day and have plans to continue the daily mailings into March and beyond. Problem is, I am still procrastinating my letter writing. And let me tell you, sending out 60+ bits of mail and still procrastinating certain letter writing projects takes real talent! Ha. I am hopelessly behind on family letters and with my pen pals. And I haven't caught up with my monthly postcards. This weekend is Do Or Die! I can't possibly get it all done in one weekend, but I'm going to make a dent. The nice thing about LetterMo is that I have hit a rhythm by writing a couple postcards or notecards every evening. I make this big stack of postcards on the weekends, and then I slowly go thru them during the week. Very satisfying.
∞ Letter Love 101, by Joanne Sharpe Oh my gosh. I ran into this online class last weekend and just fell in love with the teacher and her style. I want all her colourful calligraphy and lettering styles to be mine! Plus, the teacher is very gung-ho about Copic markers! Oh my gosh. :) so, yeah. I think this class is going to be great for me! ∞ Photography I have not taken one real picture with my camera this year. Zero. And that is just not right! I need to get out there and take some pictures! Hopefully. Soon. |
