I wish there was more clockwork stuff, really. ^^;

I have a large and vast collection of herbal and different black teas, though. I love my tea collection to bits. ^_^

Sometimes, I blend my own.

I used to work in a tea shop owned by two elderly Chinese immigrants, and the things I learned about tea! Oh my. :heart:

Yeah, I was surprised that there wasn't... the clothes are wonderful and everything but more gears/clocks, industrial items would have been awesome. Even more flowery stuff, since its about gardening as well would have been nice

Ahh I don't have much of a collection, I normally go a little crazy buy a few different kinds, drink them and then go crazy again >.< My best friend Ebony (irl) she collects tea, and tea things like fine china etc...

I was thinking of blending my own, there are a few good sites out there where you can blend your own teas and they'll ship them to you, but to be honest I'm far to lazy to figure out what would work with what lol.

That sounds like it was an awesome job! Lucky :P

I just buy loose tea from the store and mix it up myself. Doing it by distance like that is awful--it's about smell. Mostly it's adding spice to the teas; lighter ones like anise and extracts goes with lighter teas like darjeeling, deeper spices go with darker teas like assam. ^^; I'll try and think about what proportions go into my spiced tea blend and let you know.

Mostly it was talking to them that was so fun. I was teaching them English, and they paid me in kind with lessons in Mandarin. It was amazing. :heart:

I´d love to have one :)
Think I could?

Oh wow, -shifty eyes- give me your secrets Crickeyyy :P That sounds like an amazing experience though, and especially if you learnt another language in the process, or even the beginnings of one. -ish jealous- I agree with the smell though, its nice to read what kind of tea or flavorings are in a blend, but I normally just pick whatever smells the yummiest to me at that moment.

@ Star - Of course of Course, is your current avatar the one you would like drawn?

Actually yes :)
but I want to surprise my best friend with a little gift.
And I cant draw avis so good.
May you draw her?

I would get gold then

No problemo I'll draw your buddy ^^ I've put you on the waiting list now ^^

Cool thanks :D
But...how much would I need to pay for another art? :sweat:

And I am baack online, more or less.

Hello sadrain! :D

OI oI Oi

I've never charged so I dunno, Roachi gave me a tip once of the May CI set... but I dunno we can discuss that later on, as it is I have enough art to keep me busy for a week + so when I've finished with the event I'll contact ya and let ya know


Hey Rain!

lol okay that sounds good aphrodite.
I like your avi btw x3
Its all black and white~

C: You art is more pretty than most others I have seen. C: So it deserve great tips, in my opinion. x3
Uhm, is there any event common you like a lot? o:

Aww thanks, yeah black and white is my fall back avi color scheme lol

Hmmm i'd have to think of that Rain, but thank you very much :3 most ppl in my oppinion don't care for traditional art very much >.<

brb guys gotta catch a quick meeting!

I love art. I draw too and my buddy too :D
But I can draw little kids and chibis and that. but not like you can xD

lolol

Well if it makes you feel better, my chibs look ridiculous and in a bad way lol.

Do you have samples of your arts?

=hugs aphrodite remix= I LOVE tradish! love love love! and your B&W inks are GORGEOUS!

And... there's a wasp in my room... O_O

-hugs back-

WHYYY THANKIES

All this pretty praise is going to turn my head ya know :P


O_O Use the shrinking ray quick!

=whispers= It's cleaning it's back legs on my ceiling light... it hasn't moved in a few minutes... this is usually where you either run or take the nerve and kill it.... and I just can't bring myself to do it.... >_<

Now it looks like it's dancing, hehe

lolol

Normally I just open a window and leave the room for a while and hope for the best.

I'm so paranoid about insect bites >.<

Ahaha, some boost to ego is good. C: And you know it. ^^

And I actually like traditional art a lot. C: I draw, too, and I know it is just as difficult, if not more, than mastering some program and using it. C: I like to use ink or just draw in black/white, since I am not too skilled with pencils or paints.

i wouldn't mind a slot.. just let me save my avi and post it up for you :D
i haven't looked for any freebies yet XD to busy doing my own freebie thread :P never done one before

I don't mind bugs. Got bit by a lady bug about two-three months ago and never knew they bit humans before that... O_O

praise ish goooood =lavishes praise=

@sadrain: absolutely right! There's this nifty UNDO button that's so much easier than an eraser, and the ability to flip the image itself back and forth instead of eyeballing it and getting it right yourself... lol! too many easy "cheats"

MEEP! It's flying around again! lol!

okay here is my avi that i would like done :D

Hahah oh trust me, I'm one of the most... confident (lol) people out there, and I'm a rather good judge of my abilities, although avi art is still relatively new to me compared to what I normally do, its still pretty fun :3

Ahhh coool samples??? Me want see (Caveman Mixy) haha I hear ya, although I've been mucking about with my tablet, so once I have a better understanding of it, I might try digi arts because some of them are ridiculously nice. I like painting as well but rarely do it. I use pretty much any media form when it comes to arts. Normally its ink because its my favorite, but I use pencil crayon, marker, pencil, oil, acrylic and water color paints as well. Some better than others of course.


@ Alexa - alrighty sounds good :3 yeah I noticed that earlier I was like hmmm - strokes beard - hahaha. This is my first time even really participating in an event never mind runnin a freeb shop. Normally I just lurk collect whatever event currency I need and be done with it.


@ Taaaas - A lady bug can bite!!!! When did that memo get released? Haha shoo it away!
