My first time making pulp for leaf casting! I decided that it’s going to be necessary for the book I’m currently working on and it’s a good chance to learn a new conservation skill ☺️ #ComicSky #ComicBooks #ComicConservation
I’M FINALLY GOING TO ATTEMPT LEAF CASTING!!! #ComicSky #ComicConservation #ComicBooks
I know it’s a modest start but I’m still so blown away I get to share my busy hands and my little world with 75 of you 💜💜💜 #ComicSky #YouTube #ComicConservation
