    Lovely calm video for a Sunday evening 💛 Venvstas is an Italian brand 😊I think it's pronounced Venustas, as in the Latin word for loveliness or beauty (which in turn comes from the goddess Venus). The ink you got, Fumo di Londra, means 'Smoke of London'. Had never heard of all these 3 inks, so pretty!!! And I'm glad to hear your talk went well and that you had a good time at Stationery Fest!

    if i remember right, there's an established rule in design, photography etc known as the 'rule of odds'. it's widely seen that odd numbers help create balance and symmetry. i always do this too, particularly with things like what items are put on a shelf or mantlepiece.

    Have you ever analyzed the pros and cons of precutting PET tape? (I'm wishy washy about it... I recently used a Square of it that could have been cut apart, but I liked the arrangement. Which made me question cutting them apart. BUT BUT I LOVE how you use 3 or 5 bits...)

  • @bronteswannick
    @bronteswannickАй бұрын

    This is an interesting question! I think I prefer to cut it all apart because sometimes I spot combinations I wouldn’t have seen otherwise, and I also really like using teeny tiny pieces to add detail to spreads 😊 also, I really enjoy doing it haha!

    Along similar lines to the downward spiral I was having difficulty writing gratitude every day because I was al always re writing mostly the same things: family, home, job, decent health but someone suggested to think of it with all of your senses, e.g., something that you smelled or saw, or heard, etc. in addition to the basics… that has really helped me
