May the love (and money) flow!

I'm trying to make white ink and ink ribbons to type on black paper! You'd think something similar would be available on the market but it is not... I went on an ink and typewriter deep dive to figure something out and I did come across a youtube video luckily. Now I'm waiting for another ribbon to come in the mail because I majorly messed up the first 🙃 (follow jonnyblacktypes (family friendly) or lilthistlebat (me but raw) on insta to see updates on that if you're interested!

Update on white typewriter ink: its fainter than I'd like and takes a few minutes to dry down. Not sure where to go from here except try again with different ratios to see if it makes a better/worse outcome!

Me at a gig, back when my hair was all mermaidy!

Actually, I think I've just answered my own question. Stay tuned.

If this craft fair goes well, I'll be better. God I hope it goes well. It feels ... like Im selling myself. I am selling myself. I watched this guy on YouTube talk about busking and he was like "but I don't do it for the money... I do it for the art". And I'm over here like, hey. I am definitely doing it for the money. It's actually paying more than the shitty retail job That Was Supposed To Pay Me Enough To Live And Does Not. So I dunno. I am selling these bits of my soul for cash and you know? It makes people happy too. So that can't be too bad. Screw artistic dignity I guess. I am in need of cash for my body. You have cash and a soul that is hungry. Let's make a trade.
