I originally made this music box for my Sunflower Knight, but it works for Solaire too. Music box plays "You Are My Sunshine".

This ink was the leftover BPC and FWP mixture from the previous post, combined with a bunch of Lennon Tool Bar Ying Piao.

I love the way the shimmer created this beautiful gradient along "Abysswalker"

Mini Siegmeyer keeping me company while I practice my calligraphy.

I like to store calligraphy nibs in his head 😆

Anyway, working on a small batch of DS minis. If anyone filled out a form the past year or two I might be emailing you soon

My favorite Star Wars game and the one that made me a Star Wars fan.

Saw something today that said KotOR was released today in 2003 on Xbox. Though I only picked this game up when it was ported to PC later on.

_________________________________

I had three inks mixed in this pen cartridge and it's interesting to see the ways they appeared on paper. They all have a blue ink base, but it seems the indigo/blue color comes most from FWP Tides of Midas, with the green/gold shimmer coming from Valiant Blue, and the reddish sheen from BPC Tesla Coil.

Juniper's Book Corner's Bookstore | PangoBooks

Mostly vintage fantasy, thrillers, manga/manhwa for now. All books were kept in a well-ventilated, smoke-free, and pet-free home.

Don't know if anyone here's interested, but I'm downsizing my book/manga collection and have put them up on PangoBooks. A lot of the stuff up right now are books from the early 2000s, so a lot of mass market paperback size.

Almost all of them are in excellent/like new condition. I was one of those kids who absolutely hated bent corners and creases in my book spines. I would hold them open like how you'd curve a deck of cards to shuffle (but ..backwards 🤔) just to avoid any creases 😆.

I have a bunch of vintage fantasy I still need to put up, but right now it's mostly thrillers and manga, and some manhwa.

I'm open to offers for bundles too, especially for manga.

Been finding a lot of bittersweet nightshade outside so I made a little doodle with some sheening ink.

Found some nicer cardstock paper scraps to practice on with the many calligraphy inks I bought the past few months but never fully utilized. I cut them in these 1.5in wide pieces so they can be little bookmarks. Maybe I'll add a tassel 🤔

The A got a little messed up and been having trouble getting used to the thickness of the ink, but having fun with it~

[darthasterisk]

Playing with some super sheening ink. The top half of the page is Organics Studio Walden and halfway through writing "Magnolia," I refilled my pen with Birmingham Pen Co. Tesla Coil so there's a nice blend of them in between

Epiphyllum oxypetalum

Didn't have any blooms last year, so I was happy when one started forming last week. Though this one flower didn't bloom on the main big plant, but came from a smaller one that had just two big leaves 😆 (it was a cutting from the main one).

Made sure I had a better setup this time around with a nice grey background and soft lighting, but I still missed the early opening hours 😑. Still happy with this time-lapse. This was from around 9:30PM-9:30AM

[darthasterisk]

Epiphyllum Oxypetalum and its many common names.

It's a fun one to use to practice calligraphy with so many ascenders and descenders.

Also seems I get flowers on this cactus every other year. The timelapse was from 2024, and it had none in 2025, so I hope there will be one this year~

Hawthorn and Juniper on a new little adventure (exploring piano innards 🎹)

OG colorway Hawthorn is now available in the shop, along with 3 new ones: Arctic Hare, Black Pearl, and Jade Pearl

Out for an evening stroll in the garden. This peony always has tons of flowers with massive blooms. Though I failed to cut some before they bloomed and now they're all just resting on the shrub in front.

I feel like this looks like a rococo painting 😆
