hi it’s been a minute, i made a new procreate brush and wrote a sample sentence with it.

this brush lends itself to dots rather than the more typical comma shaped huniz (distinguishing marks) that i use in other styles.

I got a new calligraphy pen so I thought I'd write smth cool. This also features a stamp I carved a few weeks ago.

"I cleaned my room today. It took me longer than it should have."

thought of fun conceptual metaphor idea: in english, time is money. you spend time, waste time, save time, etc. what if in yū asti, you ate it! or, time is food. I think it could be said to come from the fact that we set aside time to prepare and eat food. some ideas:

eat time = use time

let time spoil = waste time

keep/preserve time = save time

this one might be a stretch but is somehow related: to give someone a seat (at a table) = give someone the time of day
