Not gonna touch that... My wife has been doing something similar and now everyone thinks she is pregnant. She doesn't even have the guts to tell anyone otherwise.

@Sutokito I'm glad you like them! They're more challenging to work with but they don't actually turn out to take that much longer. I can fill large areas quickly and switch colours fast. But working with water demands lots of careful control. I think we were overdue for a watercolour ^^

Hey Jammy, I has a question. Recently I started working with prisma colors, but I'm having a hard time getting the markers to blend nicely. Any hints you can throw at my face?

Just finished baking 150 cookies of 5 sorts and 40 cakes of 4 sorts. I think they will last a week, 2 at the most.P.S. I don't celebrate anything this time of year, except I just finished my finals for this semester.P.P.S the Biomolecular metabolism final sucked.

@Mike - I'm not quite sure what you mean. Markers won't blend like paint, and it's rarely an effect I'm after. Try to make sure you're putting down a solid layer (solid colour, not streaks), and think about 'layering' colours instead of blending them. Often I find that putting lighter colours on top of dark blends more, but it's not an effect that's easy to predict or control, and I don't really like it. Prisma also sells a colourless blender, but again it's not something that I use. Bright pastel colours blend best.

Panel 1 is what my aunt's house looked like last night. She and my mother had a strip of wax paper lined along every inch of her counter space (And she has a lot of counter space, counters all along one huge wall, and then on two more long walls and then a ten foot island in the middle) and cookies just PILED on top of the wax paper. Hundreds of peanut butter and sugar cookies. Urf.

Hah, here in my house we have pie, instead of cookies... And instead of cookie gnomes, we have pie gnomes (a.k.a. me and my brother :f)... // I personally like colouring with color pencils ??_e, or maybe because i never painted with anything else... I often shave the pencil, and paint with the chips, in a smoky way, using my fingers... It's good to cover up large ??reas and easy to use light and shadow, just depends how strong you press the paper.

My family kind of has the same thing, except its eggnog.
I usually make it at christmas, and it's pretty potent. It's been joked that you could probably light fires with it.
