NO. I am the fanciest! I have to be honest, things got a little out of hand when I opened October’s mystery Art Snacks box. There was so much good stuff in there, but this purple meets magenta Winsor & Newton ink … be still my beating heart! Have you ever made branches with ink / blowing through a straw? Is that a 1970s thing? My mom and I used to do this with her special ink when I was little, and I haven’t done it in years. Until today! Also, there was a dip pen!? I’ve never used a dip pen in my entire life, hence feeling much fancier than both Dave and Phil. Clearly they’re a bit competitive with each other, but I’m hoping their worlds can become one somehow …

Oh, thank goodness for grape lollipops … it seems to have helped make peace between Dave and Phil. For now. Oh, and in case you’re wondering, yes, that is a little limited edition gold pencil pin {by Adam J.K.}, to wear proudly on your shirt, smock, artist beret … whatever you like! LOVE.
