Scrawlrbox update

So this was December's Scrawlrbox and I nearly ruined the surprise for myself as I forgot to unfollow the hashtag #scrawlrchallenge on instagram and was happily scrolling through, saw a picture of a rose then looked at the comments and saw it was the scrawlrbox I hadn't received yet. Then it was too late as I had started to read the comments and I was sure it said pastel pencils, so when my box arrived I was not as excited as I already knew what it was. Buuuuuut I had misread it in my sleep deprived state the PROMPT was pastel petals and the theme of the box was pastel colours, so I was super happy when these pens popped out.

Here's a skull drawn with the Derwent colouring pencils from October's box.

and another from September's box.

Scrawlrbox have emailed us this month to say the box will be late so it could be another week or so before I get January's box.

Art Snacks December box

I think, it arrived on the 10th so that makes it Decembers box right?

Anyway another uninspiring box, I already have the faber castell pens and the Krink marker is weird as you can't write over it so really limits it use. I will probably use the tombow fudenosuke pen and the draughting pencil at some point.

November Scrawlrbox

I like the look of this box a lot, the colours, the variety of the mark making tools, I'm excited to play with these!

Scrawlrbox and Art snacks

So I've been a bit busy with restocking the shop that I haven't had time for the last 2 months of Scrawlrbox and also updating this blog lol.

So these pens were September's box, perfect for Inktober (which I also didn't do) and the prompt was Jazz Noir.

And this box was October's box, nice Derwent pencils and some coloured paper, the prompt is Washed ashore.

Novembers box hopefully will be dropping through the letter box soon.

I also for a trial signed up for the american Artsnacks:

So far I am underwhelmed, the box doesn't come with any paper nor a prompt to work on or an artist to inspire you. I'm also pretty sure its more expensive then the Scrawlrbox. However because of the size of box it comes in (it doesn't fit through the letter box) it can have pots of paint, like the Liquitex acrylic gouache in this months box. I'm going to give art snacks another month to wow me and then I will probably cancel the subscription.

ScrawlrBox August

Came back from a weekend away to find August's Scrawlrbox waiting for me. I am really happy with the supplies, though having a water soluble pencil when the colours are water soluble means that anything drawn will smudge and blend when the wet colours are added. The prompt is false prayer and I think I might go for a very obscure version of that as I don't draw people or hands.

Fimo Friday

I love the rainbow colouring on these guys and so do a lot of people on Instagram. the single d20 has already gone to a new home but I have some more dice arriving hopefully later this week so I can get them restocked.
