Writing, writing, writing... my goal is to finish 3 WIPs and get them out the door this month.

I've also done a tiny bit of drawing and also am working on some of my planner stuff. I want to create a resource blog or thingie that's resources for having a planner or bujo that isn't femme. Making washi tape out of beer labels worked great the first time I did it, but I've been struggling to come up with a reliable method for it. I may be moving slow as molasses on some art and design stuff, but it is not forgotten.

Beer label washi tape sounds very Texan*. I wonder if you could sell that on Etsy …?

* they said, from their home outside of Dallas

I don't think I could sell what I make, but maybe beer labels would make a good washi design. I am just using the labels on the beers I drink.

Of course you don’t have to sell stuff, I was just wondering aloud whether there’s a big underserved market gap for dudes who need to stay organized but don’t want to be boring about it.

Turning trash into art is the start of so many crafts! Mosaic from broken tiles, turning dead car parts into welding sculpture, fabric scraps into quilts, leftovers and snaccidents into amazing new fusion dishes. I salute your ingenuity!

Oh yeah, I am hope to cater to that but with like a blog or something. The vast, vast majority of journal supplies, inspo and even planners are very femme. Part of the problem is that not all markers are good for planners due to bleed, and the sets made for planners tend to be organized around pinks. I am trying to make a resource for that that I've got like... 3 or 4 things for it.

A lot of local beers have labels that are basically stickers, but they are hard to cut up and use because the adhesive is so strong they want to cling to scissors. But they provide nice color palettes and also do record experiences :)
