Coming Back Home

Omgush guys, I forgot to post yesterday??! I had my YouTube video scheduled for upload and I was thinking that the only things I had due were some online projects for school TODAY. I'm sorry for neglecting you guys! :(

I got back on Friday and it's been chiiiiiillll. Home is nice; I love my room and workspace, and it's been awesome eating real homemade food again. I didn't have too much time to cook at college, and my selection was super limited, so it's amazing to actually get real organic food again (my little Romanian stomach doesn't like things that are overly processed). I'm at my kitchen table right now with some yummy coffee and some organic Nutella alternative and Trader Joe's french bread. I was working on school forums and then BAM, I remembered that I hadn't checked in with you guys yet.

I'm excited to be recording nicer videos again! I posted a pastel watercolor palette review yesterday, and I was really happy with how it turned out. For my $10 patrons, I'll post the process video for the painting right after this post (since my YouTube video was focused on reviewing the palette and not so much on the painting). Let me know if you would like any other reviews and what supplies you'd like me to try out. I just purchased the Kuretake Gansai Tambi pearlescent watercolor sets (Gems, Starry, and Pearl), so I can talk about those as well! 

My shop is also open, so if you want a print or original drawing, that's the place to go to-- sarucatepes.tictail.com . Speaking of my shop, I'm working on a new series that will be carnival themed! I hope to make enamel pins, stickers, sticker sheets, and some new prints for the series, so I'll let you know how that is going and if you'd like suggestions on where I got everything made, I'll let you know if the experience was positive.

Thanks to all my new patrons for grabbing my new reward tiers! I'm gonna get to creating the sketch rewards asap. If you haven't seen the sketch reward tier yet, check it out (it's a pretty great price for original drawings!).

MOVIES

Well, now that I'm home, I'm back to watching Netflix with my momma; we finished the second season of A Series of Unfortunate Events (hmmm super creepy toward the end. Kinda similar to the books, and I'm excited for the last season). We also watched The Limehouse Golem on Hulu (would not recommend at all) and The Negotiator (unique and pretty good movie). My mom has started watching The Bates Motel, and she keeps commenting what a good boy Dylan is and how much she hates Bradley and how she loves Norma. I've only seen until season 3, cause I was starting to get tired of the intense drama and lack of creepiness, but I know she's gonna watch all 5 seasons regardless of if she likes them. She watched the whole of the X-Files even though she started to hate it, and it's really funny that her OCD doesn't let her stop watching a show she's started, even though she might hate it.
