This is from Secret Tokyo, in soft pastel (/a little oil pastel). I wanted to try something completely different, and I'm really, really happy with the way it turned out.

Nice!  I like the colours.  I've been thinking of trying pastels for backgrounds, but I am worried they will smudge.  Does that happen to you?

They are a completely different animal and they do smudge when you're working with them, but a big can of sealant is only $11 at michaels, and I use that, so it doesn't smudge afterward. There's a matte and a gloss. They make a bit of a mess when you're working though. The oil pastels smudge a lot less but I've never tried it on a page that I haven't removed from the book first.

I like it.  It reminds me a bit of stained glass.   I have some of the cheap crayola oil pastels.  I've only used them once, so I haven't made my mind up about them just yet.

I thought it looked like stained glass too!

      I'm putting this here since it's about Monat.

      Another Abbie, Abbie Jean Camuso used to promote Monat big time on her instagram account. The scales have fallen from her eyes as she's just posted this

      So basically I still want to make money off you, but don’t blame me if your hair falls out because I told you that could happen. But if my hair falls out, I might leave.

      If they can make graphics for social media, assemble fundraisers, and bake pies they can get some kind of employment. The stress of all of this scrambling for cash has got to be more stressful than many jobs!

      She said she uses to feel like she needed to get out of the house once a day. But she doesn’t feel like that anymore. And I bet it’s because she has 5 young kids. 

      I really love being a mother, but if I had 5 little kids, I would be desperate to leave the house... alone!

      Someone said Tavia - I think it was Fundie infoplace on tumblr. Not sure if it was name or nickname.

      Tavia sounds like it could potentially be a nickname for Octavia--a beautiful and nowadays quite uncommon name, IMO.
