What a fun video! 😃 I really enjoyed this travel vlog and your sketches were brilliant. I have a soft spot for old windy Wellington as I walked for the first time there! I don’t remember but it’s a fun fact! What a great bookshop/stationery haven…someone has an eye for the good stuff! The tardis was 🙌🏻😍 💕Louise

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :D The great thing about Wellington is that it is so walkable! And yes the stationery/bookstore was well worth the visit, so much great stuff packed carefully into the small space! I stayed there for so long just looking at everything! I will definitely go back again! I had good fun in, er I mean with the Tardis too! 🤣 Have a lovely weekend! 💖

I’m looking forward to seeing the finished bunny and daffodils painting. I’m a bit afraid of masking fluid as I never have had any success with it. I had a bottle of winsor Newton and it never worked properly. What a beautiful sculpture to have nearby …outdoor stained glass…lovely! 😃💕Louise
@SquibbleDesignАй бұрын
It turned out fine in the end, I just had to adjust my expectations! I may not be using that masking fluid again I think...😅The sculpture is at the war memorial park here. It is a beautiful tree sculpture with oak leaves for Britain, and pōhutukawa flowers for NZ. There's also an optical illusion, where if you look at the truck at the right angle you can see the silhouette of a soldier.

I’ve been waiting for an update on the walnut ink. What a beautiful colour! Are you planning to use the ink for sketching or writing or both? 😃💕Louise
@SquibbleDesign2 ай бұрын
Oh yay! I will do another update again on the ink soon, I am planning to use the ink mainly for sketching and painting. I will also use it for writing occasionally but only with a dip pen as I still feel that even with all my filtering it would clog a fountain pen! I am also worried about mould issues. I plan to only use it with certain nibs and brushes and then make sure that everything is cleaned with vinegar afterwards. I put so much tea tree oil in the second time around - the house smelled amazing but I still don't want to risk it in a pen! 🤣
