wow, that hippocampus is beautiful! I want to learn how to do this pointillism – do you have a tutorial to recommend?

(also, your rune poem rendering is fantastic!)

Thanks! I didn’t use a tutorial, but I’ve done this before. You just have a higher concentration of dots in areas that are meant to be shadowy. I used fine tipped markers for that part.

I received the most beautiful painted bookmark yesterday from @Tapestry! I might have to find a frame for it so it’s not hidden away in a book forever! She included a @Kwality570 notecard too- happy monster!


And now the main event:
a lovely shimmery beta! I hate that I can’t capture the shimmer in a photo but it’s so pretty in person.
Thank you Jenn!!
I almost forgot the cute sticker extras!

This is my favorite one so far.

So glad you like it! My daughter insisted I add a bit of shimmer when I showed her the finished piece. We both like shiny things :joy:.

I received my beautiful bookmark & some adorable stickers from @Tapestry! She used my corvid theme and was also inspired from some woodblock prints I have pinned on my pinterest! I love all the vivid colors and the bird is so pretty! I love it, thank you so much! :slight_smile:

I received my bookmark from @geekgirl and I LOVE it! I got two themes - Stargate and graffiti, and both sides are perfect. The READ is done with alcohol markers (look at that fading and shading!), and the Stargate has a shimmery metallic event horizon. Oh, not to mention the handmade card with art! Thank you so much!
