just finished my next tarot card!!
i’m really happy with this!! i keep wanting to add details and things cause i worry it’ll get too busy. what do y’all think? i was thinking about adding some flowers around the edge of the pond? REGARDLESS i’m so happy i’m getting better and better at backgrounds and things, it feels good xxEDIT: i added some wind as per the advice of sweet monica, and i think it's exactly what it needed — it feels way more balanced now dont you think?

also, re: podcast...
SO. i have realized that i may have been a bit overzealous in the idea of doing a podcast for my $500 reward, soooOO i've been thinking about other ideas, and i was thinking that i could do a BIIIG journal tour of all the journals/sketchbooks i had in high school (or all the ones i have here in seattle with me)? it'll probs be a bit emotional, and very rambly and totally embarrassing! what do y'all think? maybe a hella detailed workspace tour? any ideas y'all have that we could d...

you are here (march printable)
hello my dears~ i'm not sure if i'm gonna be able to write the newsletter by the end of the month, but i wanted to make sure y'all got the printable. i figured we'd try something a bit different — it's sized to a roughly 5x8 ratio, so you might have to do a bit of trimming before or after you print it out. regardless! i really hope you like it. i've also attached a phone wallpaper version of it, if you are so inclined!!love you lots, you are amazing xx
