Review – Ohuhu Oahu Alcohol Markers
I’ve never worked with alcohol markers before, and I now know what I’ve been missing. All I can say is that this has become my instant favourite medium. Alcohol markers are so versatile. You can achieve anything from dreamy watercolour-like textures to graphic block shading without effort. But okay, I’m getting ahead of myself. This…

Review – Ohuhu Colour Markers
The artists in my house are avid Jazza fans. So, when he made (another) video about Ohuhu VS Copic markers, my daughter and I just knew we had to try this brand. She purchased a 100-piece set of brush/fine-tipped markers, while I got the alcohol markers. Today, we’ll talk about the 100-piece water-based markers, and…

Book Review – Starling House
I stalk my friends on Goodreads, and that’s how I noticed Starling House by Alix E. Harrow. Okay, context. My reading fam enjoys vastly different genres. One of them might review a book as ‘5-stars-heart-emoji-squee!!!!!!’ while another might give the same book 1 star or a hard Did Not Finish (DNF). Since the start of…

Book Review – Onyx Storm
My little fangirl heart couldn’t take it when my shiny pre-order copy of Onyx Storm arrived in the mail last Monday (and, boy, is it shiny!!!!!!!). My heart still couldn’t take it halfway through the read. Now? I think I’m dead because my heart stopped after whatever the hell that was. How, in the name…

How To Handle Negative Feedback
Over the last two weeks, we discussed How To Review a Book, and How To Be a Great Beta Reader. Let’s chat about handling negative feedback today. This can be in the form of a poor review or comments from beta readers. Now, we’re all human here. There will always be that bit of feedback…

Game Review – Dead Cells
Dead Cells is a rogue-lite action platformer with fluid, ever-changing settings and a slew of unlockable weapons and skills, in a ‘just one more run’ game model. In simpler terms, it’s one of those perfect storms that keeps you on the couch, controller in hand, for hours. Before we get to the review—all opinions expressed…

Book Review – Iron Flame
Picking up from last week, let’s talk about Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros. Before we get to the official review, a disclaimer. All the opinions shared in this post are my own, are honest, and I’m not compensated in any way for expressing them. This post contains major spoilers. As I mentioned in the last…

Book Review – Fourth Wing
I have to be honest with you, and maybe this proves I am the old crochet lady I feel like most of the time, but I have no idea what is trending on Booktok. No wonder they call ‘us geriatric millennials’. 👵 The point is, I’d never heard of Fourth Wing until my cousin Shants…

Review – Keoker Polymer Clay Cutters for Fall
A good clay cutter makes everything better—this is a fact every polymer clay artist learns in a hurry. Choosing quality cutters can be a difficult task. I’ve purchased designer cutters for a pretty penny from Etsy-exclusive stores that don’t work at all, and I’ve also bought the cheapest possible cutters from random import stores that…

Review: Rogue Adventure
I don’t often review games on the blog, but I might try my hand at more of these in the future, especially since I adore this game! But first, a quick disclaimer. As with all my reviews, I don’t receive compensation for my thoughts or opinions (I’ll state it clearly if that ever changes). I…
