Choosing Gratitude. But for a paintbrush?

November 30, 2025 by Lonnie Lardner

(Pic #1) The art table

While this past week inspired us to express gratitude for the important things, appreciate close friends and family, and savor the genuine moments of joy — I decided to give thanks for the stupid little things that no one else cares about. (There might be a pattern.) They are:

Handmade Mulberry Pulp Fiber Paper

Caran D’Ache Neocolor pastels

Montana 94 Spray Cans

Sakura Solid Paint Markers

Princeton Catalyst Polytip Paint Brushes

Black Wing Matte Soft Graphite pencils

Golden Super Loaded Matte Medium

Prismacolor Magic Rub Eraser

Golden Heavy Body Phthalo Blue Acrylic

Koh-I-moor Rapidograph Technical Pen

Natural Bristle Fat Chip Brushes

Smooth Glide White Correction Tape

Jacquard Dye-na-flow fabric color

Blick Cobalt Teal Acrylic tube

Posca Pens

    I have some handmade mulberry pulp paper that I bought for scrapbooking but just love to look at it!
