Spite is a wonderful motivator even in things you generally enjoy

I have literally started taking screenshots of every nice comment I get and saving them in a folder called Keep Going. Sometimes a bit of encouragement is all you need

And they're done!! The lotus Majohn Q2 has already sold but the two galaxy Platinum Little Meteors are still available

My dirty paint water looking kinda pretty?

Teeny tiny sneak peek of my next batch of customized fountain pens! Inspired by kintsugi. I have been so excited to work on this design since I thought of it 😁

I was thinking yesterday that I miss my acrylic markers and I wish I had some large black paper to use them on when WHA-BAM!! I remembered I got this paper JUST FOR THAT REASON. So stretching it before I can prep it.

Little bit late cause I uploaded it to the wrong channel lmao BUT NEW VIDEO IS UP! Galaxy Fountain pen ✨ youtu.be/ujQE_Dj3p7U

HAHAHA SUCCESS!!!! I finished the video and it's going to be uploaded to my YouTube at 6pmCST today! This one is my painting a galaxy design on a Platinum Little Meteor fountain pen 😁

Definitely not editing this fountain pen painting video last minute nope 🥲😅😮‍💨

OH MY GOD I'm trying CapCut for the first time and they got this like edit nu transcript and I know everybody throws this term around BUT THIS IS A GAME CHANGER This is taking me so much less time. Do...do I like video editing now? Oh god who AM I

Definitely didn't leave the video editing to the last minute nope I would never do such a thing how DARE you

I made a mistake and 2 of the pens warped 😭 I was so happy with how these turned out too! Ugh, lesson learned

Alright, it's my day off and my main goal for today: CLEAN I let my place get so cluttered and messy that I think it's stressing me out 🥲 So gonna clean and put things up in the hope I'll have enough energy to work on other things after

Almost done with this current batch of custom fountain pens!! Two are for specific people but the rest will be listed on the Pen_Swap Reddit sub. Uuuuh probably end of this week or early next? I'm still working on my own website to sell these guys so stay tuned 😁

I have learned to make my own watercolors, acrylic paint AND ACRYLIC INK hahaha level uppppp

Yes

Welp, back to the ol' day job. I'm so lucky I get to work from home, though. Because this means I can do stuff on my breaks like cleaning, cooking, or yanno work on fountain pens 🤣

Gonna need to experiment more on ways to seal my fountain pens. Sealing them literally takes 2-3x the time I spend actually designing them. And since I have a small apartment and the fumes are toxic...I can only work on sealing them for a short amount of time so that everything can air out
