@sublingual Thanks for asking!After unsatisfactory experiences with my last tools I guess I need to set out for exploration now.Brush pens sound like a lot of fun, but I'm a bit worried they might be hard to manage (or to master) in the beginning. I might go for a "classic" dip pen. They seem like fun, at least until I spill the ink bottle for the third time.A Noodler Ahab looks pretty comfortable to work with. Would you recommend it to set a foot in inking?

@sublingual I have a glass pen, which works like a dip pen. Very pretty and fun to use, but I never managed to get a nice stroke when I used it. There might be differences in the tools there (and probably in the user, too...).

I bought a glass dip pen and experimented a little. That was a long time ago. I mean, a _long_ time, where it was not as easy to find that one particular, weird corner of the internet that has the answers you are looking for.So just now I learned that glass dip pens actually require special ink. This explains why everything I drew and wrote looked worse than normal. I guess I give that glass dip pen a second chance soon.@sublingual

@sublingual That sounds pretty good! I haven't considered fountain pens so far, but I'll give that another thought! Also it sounds very suitable for travelling or drawing spontaneously in the greens.

@sublingual I dropped by earlier in the beginning of the stream and now I'm amazed by the progress! It looks gorgeous! 👏

@controlfreak I would argue you create antimatter instead, since a dehydrator only does subtraction, not divison.

@julloyart For me a speech bubble would symbolise that somebody is speaking right now, whereas a mic would be the required equipment that expresses readiness.

"If people knew how hard I had to work to gain my mastery, it would not seem so wonderful at all."-- MichelangeloThere are many quotes and saying like this. However, I think it would be shortsighted to assume that work was the only thing a master cared about and did.

@Cryoclaire Read a bit through chapters 5 and 6. I think I'm hooked and have to start from the beginning.

@stux I need a weekly minimum of me-time for proper functioning. To avoid running short I scheduled a weekly "meeting with myself" for recreational self-care. #mh (A bit easier this year though.)

@Miaourt Is the sum of wooden pieces the puzzle or is the puzzle figuring out what it is used for?

Some #origami for #mermay!Model "Mermaid" by Sakurai Ryosuke. Folded together with a nephew excited about origami, which was a lot of fun. :)More info on the model:Folded from two sheets (2:2 and 1:2) coloured on only one side. Instructions in the book Origami Planet. About 60 steps, excluding symmetrical repetition. This wasn't the easiest model, but also not the hardest. The instructions are clear and have a great quality IMHO. #mermay22 #mermay2022 #mastoart

@joel Very cool and neatly folded! The pleated back makes it really special! Wanted to get more into folding from crease patterns for a while.To those curious (like I was), it seems like the crease pattern can be found in a Google Drive folder linked in the description of this video:Origami Sea Turtle by Brandon Wong a.k.a. The Plant Psychologisthttps://youtube.com/watch?v=LL2d1WjBTR4

@stux I can't really explain why, but for some reason I love this so much. 🐦
