This month I very much enjoyed playing around with patterned papers and the correlating pens. I really like how this week turned out dispite the fact that I still managed to mix English and German 😌 --- Diesen Monat hatte ich viel Spaß damit, mit gemusterten Papieren und mit entsprechenden Stiften herumzuspielen. Ich bin sehr zufrieden damit, was diese Woche dabei herausgekommen ist, obwohl ichs trotzdem geschafft habe, Englisch und Deutsch miteinander zu verwechseln 😌 --- #bujo #bulletjournal #bujoweekly #bujoweeklspread #calender #whybuyitwhenyoucanmakeit #colours #patterns #scrapbooking #warmcolours #handlettering #lettering #calender #showmeyourplanner #planneraddict (hier: Berlin, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByaPXsGopvV/?igshid=19g4rz0ehhfh1

Sometimes design has to grow like a plant🌱 I'm very happy with the end result and I LOVED the journey there (which isn't to say that I very much LOVE finishing up this project 😆 --- Manchmal muss Design wachsen wie eine Pflanze. 🌱 ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Endresultat und mit dem ganzen Weg, der mich dorthin gebracht hat, aber ich bin auch sehr froh, dass ich in nächster Zeit keinen Bambus mehr malen werde 😝 --- #progress #progressmakesperfect #wip #workinprogress #bamboo #watercolour #watercolourinspiration #journey #bunteshellgrün #design #handgemacht #green #gogreen #painting #thetinkery #bkkmakes https://www.instagram.com/p/ByVGCR7I63r/?igshid=19jqec6yqemi1

#wipwednesday : What am i making? Admittedly, there's more pieces than i actually needed, but it's always good to have a few extra bits and pieces of the tiny ones... https://www.instagram.com/thetinkery/p/Bw7hT6znKem/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16swymmjkoyin

There are and always will be times when you are completely sick of your art and aren't motivated to move forward with it and you fell tired and stressed out even thinking about it. If that happens to you: Don't worry. It happens to everybody. There's obviously a bunch of different ways of dealing with it; what i like to do is to move to a completely different medium and make something in that; something silly and something fun or something from my to-do list I've been DYING to do (or at least have) and haven't let myself focus on. And my latest obsession is painting tiny canvasses which I got from a Acrylic sample table thing. I took a bunch of really pretty colours and painting them bit by bit; This one is a Gansta-Fiddler-Crab for @edrees_nawabi (hier: Berlin, Germany - Europe) https://www.instagram.com/thetinkery/p/Bw1i-x8HfxV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hz6sfcmamodl

Another one of my #bulletjournal extra-pages: My Address-Register. It is a very simple design (once again) just very straight and #minimalistic letters in a grid, as I want it to be recognisable and organised but still wanted to be able to chuck in as many #information as possible. I already found it to be quite useful for a bunch of people I visit often(ish) but always forget where they live EXACTLY. And for the address of my Krankenkasse 😌 https://www.instagram.com/thetinkery/p/Bwt0FVMH-uB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vgv78ucbndtz

WIP Wednesday: What am I making? https://www.instagram.com/thetinkery/p/BwpuNW5npGc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=akhk6l1yaqe3

The solution to what I've been working at: a horn-eyed ghost crab! Thanks a lot to @edrees_nawabi who introduced me to this stunning creature! I know it's a fairly shallow interpretatio,Oh but I REALLY wanted t work on #rainbow animals before pride month is over again... The paint job came out slightly darker than I intended it to be, but overall I am quite happy with the overall outcome; though I did gain a few grey hairs over how fiddly this sucker turned out to be; it felt like it shed legs as much as cats shed hair! 😝 Unfortunately I ran out of 30mm bases to my #jewelry so this little one will have to live on my desk as is until I get new supplies 😬😱 https://www.instagram.com/thetinkery/p/BwR3q-5n77y/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gx1e5xgx05uz

There are different reasons why to start a #bulletjournal (or any handmade #calender ) that will largely effect the way you work on it. To me it is a way of working at graphic design and practicing lettering (or working with font in general) while having a practical purpose which ends up giving me real-life deadlines (which I am not really good at setting myself) But it's also something I like to grab and go and work at at my leasure if I feel like it. So this was this weeks #weeklyspread is one of those that I thought didn'T turn out as well as I'd hoped for; when I applied the metallic I thought it would need a bit more accents to make it work, but with my #bulletjournal I usually don'T come back to it to make any time-consuming changes if it doesn't work right away; I did come back and added the days and the grey streaks accompanying them; but you can't call that elaborate fixing-up... What about you? Why did you start a bulletjournal? Or what's the reason that kept you from starting one?

WIP-Wednesday: What am I making? When I'm working on a new piece; especially if it's as #intricate as this is going to be; I usually work in a bunch of stages, curing parts as I go when I don't want them to get smushed in the #process. And I thought it might be fun to have you guess what it is going to be! (hier: Berlin) https://www.instagram.com/thetinkery/p/BwEirTnHvHT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tbo070rxlojy

Here's the newest addition to my #etsyshop It started off as a #commission but got a little to large so I made another, smaller version which ended up as being the commissioned piece. I honestly couldn't pick my favourite #unicorn between the two; they both have elements I really like: I love the pose of the bigger one, it feels a little more fluid and since the hair is very closely modelled to the movie "the last unicorn" I was able to paint that star she has in the movie in shimmering colours you can only see from certain angles. But I also like the smaller one; the butt looks much more realistic in that one and overall I like the hair more... Which one do you like better and why?

Look at all this #shiny #rainbow goodness! It honestly makes me happy every day I open the #journal ! I used two kinds of marker-esk gluesticks and this rainbow-transfer-foil thing on top and I absolutely LOVE the look of it, especially in combination with this simple #graffiti style #font I liked it so much I've wanted to do the whole month in it, thought I wasn't exploring the potential of the material enough, tried other things, didn't like them well enough and for the last one came back to it :P What were instances for you when your gut feeling was absolutely right, but it took time for you to realise it?

It's been an #option in my #etsyshop for a while now, but since i restructured it all quite a bit, it was necessary to create a separate listing for the #monstera #bracelet . I love these little ones, they are darling little pieces, so subtle, yet jam packed of detail! Is it just me, or are your marches and Aprils as jam packed with birthdays and meeting up loved ones? 😱😊 (hier: Berlin) https://www.instagram.com/thetinkery/p/Bvwb71kn0Y-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mcg3g3pekl7v

This #weeklyspread of my #bulletjournal is another one I really, really liked; the colour palette is so calming and the splatters counteract each other so well and I LOVE the white #font for the numbers and the black font for everything else (I so much enjoy playing with fonts but for some reason close to never do it...) and that the room for notes on top has this hazy splatters as compared to the vivid ones down below., It was one of these things where I just went wild in #experimentation and the result just turned out awesome and I'm really happy with it! What was the last thing you guys totally winged and it ended in something you're very much proud of?

I don't have a great post for you today, but a lot of love: My family has visited me in Berlin for a surprise birthday-visit; They were only able to stay for a few hours of togetherness, for sharing a meal and a drink before they had to face the 7 hours drive to austria again. And I'm still a little overwhelmed for the length that they will go in order to make me happy and spend time with me. I'm so immensely greatful; bursting from love and greatfulness. They did that once before as well, when my dad was still alive and I'm so happy to have another memory of an occasion like this joining together with it; tinging the grief of loss with love. https://www.instagram.com/thetinkery/p/BvbN9dAn-F3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=lc07iophe3y2

Usually I like to post for my #bulletjournal on #friday, but this week's weeklyspread was sorta boring, so i went with one of the extrapages i designed. It's a fairly simple list for #diy #projects i want or need to make (basically exactly what it says it is) Those of you who have followed me fo a while might notice that it's an exact copy of the page from last year 😊 i thought it turned out supercute and really wanted to keep it! I'm also thinking about doing something like a todo-list with it? What do you guys think?
