I know what you’re thinking… You’re wondering if I know where the home keys are on my keyboard… Or maybe I’m creating my own language… Perhaps I’m just willynilly hitting keys… Nope. “Stlefs” comes from my childhood. When I was young, I asked what I was getting for Christmas. I was told that I was getting stlefs. I was baffled. They swore that they were telling the truth. Christmas morning arrived and my stlefs turned out to be felts – get it? It’s backwards.
Today I found myself in the craft store looking for some hollow rubber tubing for making jewellery. I didn’t find it, but I did find myself in the sketch pad aisle, where I decided to pick up a purse size sketch book. Then I turned around, and was greeted by a wall of pens and pencils and pastels… Yummy! I decided I needed some. I found a huge pack of watercolour pens – one side is like a brush felt tip, and the other is a fine pen tip. Perfect for travelling – the ink is water soluble so the image could be watered down, but the ink looks great on its own. Yay!
I’m happy now… Took long enough… heehee!
Sketch book and stlefs
I could spend thousands of dollars at the craft store, most of it in the drawing aisle!
You and me both… I could collect pens and paper until the house is full… Oh wait, I have…
I love buying new pens & pencils for drawing & colouring. I’m horrible at drawing & yet I still try.
Yay you… Good to keep trying… I’ll do the same!
