My wee cousin did a visual Wish List for Christmas this year. It drove her poor mom mad as there were no directions on where to buy anything, just “inspiration” in green. I was inspired to make my own, and of course mine is pink!
iHanna’s Wish List
On my wish list I’ve put lots of paints, as drawing and painting is something I want to do more and experiment with. I don’t know where to get all of these things, as I did image searches for things I want, like “a pink laptop”, but here are a few of the items;
- Prismacolor Colored Pencils
- Twinkling H2O watercolors
- Golden Fluid Acrylics
- Black gesso
- White pens
- Water resistant india ink in different colors
- Sketchbook journal, design by Sabrina Ward Harrison – I just love everything from the Papaya Art Shop!
- Collage Unleashed in Tuscany workshop in Italy next summer, still dreaming of going on one of these some day…
And now I’m not even mentioning all the books I want… How does your wish list look?
Hey, I’m not wee! Haha. Glad I inspired you, it’s usually the other way around.
xxx/the “wee” cousin.
That exact same journal and postcard tin was on my Santa wishlist the other week too, as were Prismacolours. I caved in and bought the Prismacolours for myself though!
On the art front, I’d really like a set of the new Golden “open” acrylic paints. I’d *love* an artful trip to Tuscany (in my dreams!). I also admit to wanting a few tubes of lipstick from smashbox. ;)
Prismacolor pencils are so nice – I even love the way they smell when freshly sharpened.
Thanks for your comments!
Rhomany, I think I probably will have to buy it all myself one day, I don’t know anyone who will give me these things, but I like making wish lists just the same. Later I look back at them and see if I ever got the things I so longed for and if it was as good as I thought! :-)
Jeannine Oh, I’ve never tried the Prismacolor pencils but it’s what SuziBlu recommends in the class I’m taking with her. What are “open” acrylics? And do I need those too? ;-)
Take care and happy December!
Hehe cute wish list picture.A few things that are on my wish list besides the books are:

Merry christmas
You might have seen mine on my blog- I need to get up to date with all of these awesome ways to spice up boring text only posts! Is there a site you go to in order to create the visual wish list?
Bra ?nskelista – jag skulle inte tacka nej till n?gra av sakerna. Det ?r ingen st?rre mening att jag skriver ?nskelistor, jag f?r aldrig n?got p? dom ?nd? – jag k?per helt enkelt det jag helst vill ha. Eller byter till mig det. Men jag kan i alla fall hj?lpa en medm?nniska med k?pst?llen! En tjej hos Suzi rekommenderade http://www.markersupply.com/artmarkers.html f?r prismacolors, frakten var inte speciellt dyr (jag tror hon sa $5 ungef?r), s? det ?r d?r jag kommer att k?pa p?fyllning sen. Twinkling H20?s, Golden-produkter, och troligen svart gesso hittar du p? och runt Hornsgatan i Stockholm, jag har k?pt en del twinkling H20?s, dom ?r trevliga.
Hoppas att du f?r en massa fr?n din lista!
AlyPolyvore that you could check out for visual collages online! It looks like it’s mostly clothes, but I also think you can add your own images (download/upload them) there if you register!
Malin!
Jag l?r inte f? n?got fr?n min lista, men som Tomten s?ger, ?nska kostar ingenting… Det ?r mer som en p?minnelse till mig sj?lv ?ver vad jag vill ha/ska f?rs?ka skaffa n?gon dag n?r jag har mer pengar. I vilken butik hittar jag Twinkling och Golden? K?nns som ett bes?k i mellandagarna is comming on… :-) Din bokid? ?r underbar – s?g till om du vill ha hj?lp, jag b?rjar bli expert p? bokdesign, hehe. ?lskar det!

I love my twinkling H2Os, and I’m almost out of them! I had to buy them for myself, since they were having a sale. I will probably have to go without for awhile, but they are definitely nice. The Prismacolors are good, but I like all kinds of colored pencils.
