Since the previous question about "what would you buy from the Lab if you had unlimited funds, etc" left WAY too much to the imagination with no limitations (my answer was pretty much BUY ALL THE THINGS!), what would you do if you found a $50 bill on the ground and a nagging voice in the back of your mind told you that you HAD to spend it on BPAL or else face Death. Also, say they had free shipping (LOL) so don't factor that in. What would you get? And spend it all! Or as close to $50 as you can get.

hairgloss- maybe honey, or fig- I want both, so hard! and a pumpkin cookie candle if they come out.

love severus snape, various other anti heroes, strong female leads- like robin mckinley's sunshine, trickster characters, and gir from invader zim because I have him living inside my head!

 

A question! If you are crafty, what's your personal art style? I'm not talking just about what art you like to look at, but what kind of art do you like creating? Do you have a "process" while you're creating beauty?

i hide in my studio, get everything set up, have water or tea handy, get a playlist going, all like a little ritual telling my brain: time to make stuff now! i usually doodle and research pics and ideas for a while before I make a new painting or sculpture- by the time it is getting made i have bits and images strewn all over and I sit and zone out for hours laying out the composition. Once I have that set up, I relax and just play with color and layers of texture until I run out of time.

 

It is so hard to stop! studio time is one of my most precious things.

 

Are there any Arcana Weenies that you MUST HAVE?

Reign in Hell sounds damn yummy.
