Weekly Update #3
LAST WEEK
Jetted to the suburbs (a half hour drive) to my parents’ house, so I wasn’t in my regular space working on projects. I overcompensated by bringing way too many tools, and only used about half of them. Had a lovely time in the garden, which will result in a new zine!!
Sent six new sticker designs off to be printed yesterday 🥳 It was one of the major things I wanted to get done before the Vancouver Art Book Fair, so I’m inordinately pleased at the moment. May the feeling last for more than two business days, pls and thank u.
Digging up old notebooks and planners to use for sketching and experimenting. This is so fun. I’m noodling around with acrylic markers and pens and a mechanical pencil I haven’t used properly since college; my creative energy is up and playful for the moment, and I want to take advantage of it. Only time will tell if this is actually manic burnout lol
THIS WEEK
Bind the new garden zine. The glue’s comin’ out!! It’ll be a fun pop-out format.
Design and print some goodies from home - want to experiment with the thermal printer and creating some things for the journaling bbs out there.
Most of this week will be paper-based because of the fair, but I’m eyeing a couple crochet pieces for my art show that I want to work on, and maybe (leaning towards not, because it might be too chaotic) sewing a new skirt because I wanna wear it so bad 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
PERSONAL
Idk man, I’m tired but really so super stoked for the fair!!!! Going to it for the first time last year was so inspiring. I’m a little nervous for the crash after because it’s three days long, but I think the excitement will help mitigate that some until I fully pack up for home lol
