Signal Boost: It's More Joy Day! \o/

[personal profile] goss posted: It's More Joy Day! \o/

I'm going to steal [personal profile] goss's brilliant idea for [personal profile] sdwolfpup's More Joy Day, because: More Joy!
Leave a comment sharing 3 things that bring you joy and/or a quote or phrase that you love, and I'll doodle you something inspired by it.

Offer open to anyone that comes across this post today.

(Closed now, thank you for participating!)

I have been exploring etegami art lately, and made new year's cards for people in that very loose style, it was fun. So I may turn any doodles into cards, we shall see!

Thank you for sharing that link to the Japanese card style! This brought me joy already.

Aah so glad that you think so! I have fallen in love with the whole notion, it's such a killer therapy for the perfectionist in me.

3 things that bring me joy:

* A warm, purring cat
* Sleeping late on a lazy day when nothing needs to be done
* (and this one is too obvious, sorry!) Zhu Yilong [alternatively: looking at handsome, pleasant men]

Happy More Joy Day! 🥰

I also named Zhu Yilong as one of the three things when I commented on [personal profile] goss's post, so I can hardly blame you. He brings us joy!

Here's a little doodle about sleeping in (one of my favorite things too, sigh). It took real effort to post this and not go back and do it over! I have a lot to learn about staying in the moment :D

- warm tea
- baking for others
- being at the seaside

I almost cheated and put the first two together (food-related!) to also include "my faves bleeding and in pain", but... Does that really need saying ;)

Those are all terrific things! And yeah, "faves bleeding and in pain" is a perennial favorite of mine too :D For etegami I love simpler prompts, since the art can't really get detailed, so these were great!

I would love to send the card to you - I have a bazillion overseas stamps lying around and I like sending things in the mail. If you'd like that too, please DM me your address and I promise to keep it Secret Forever. And if not, no worries, I had fun making the card (as a giant tea fan, this is a subject close to my heart...)

AWWW, this is so nice and warm -- I'd love to have a mug like that one! Thank you!!

Yay, I'm glad you like it!

Ooh, lovely. I am going to be greedy and just repeat my comment at goss' essentially word for word.
Things that have made me joyful in the last 24 hours or so: backrubs, snapdragons, Zhu Yilong! Also this post!

[personal profile] marycrawford 2022-01-15 02:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Hee, your prompts are great and I'm glad you're enjoying this post. I looked at your snapdragon pic, so lovely and pink, and made this:

As in previous comment, I would love to send this to you in the mail, if you're comfortable DMing me your address - and if not, no worries, I loved making the card!

I love it! The twisty flower lines are so elegant and the colors are so pretty, and I'm in favor of all dragons ;) Thank you so much!
I would love a card if it's not extra trouble for you, will DM you shortly.

This is such a lovely idea! If you're still taking art prompts, here's three things that make me happy:

- ice cream
- taking walks in nature when the weather is really nice and the sun shines through the trees
- taking pictures of flowers

(Also, Zhu Yilong and baking for others and napping while listening to a gentle patter of rain outside! Lots of overlap in the comments here. 😄)

Great prompts, thank you! I love how everyone is like "and also, OBVIOUSLY, Zhu Yilong" - my people, heee. One day I will try and actually draw him, I've made some attempts but he is hard to capture, and definitely not something I will attempt for etegami.

Instead I went with one of [personal profile] nnozomi's flower pics for you:

As above, I would love to send this to you in the mail, if you're comfortable with DMing me your address - and if not, no worries, I loved making the card!

Oh gosh, that's beautiful! Thank you so much! :')

I'd love to have it as a postcard. Will DM you! <3

(I can only imagine how hard it must be to capture ZYL's unfair beauty, but I'm cheering on all your efforts! \o/)

Z1L's unfair beauty - truer words were never spoken. And I'm so glad you like this little flower! It will come your way \o/

Hiii! Thank you for subscribing. I friended you now.

Etegami art looks amazing, thank you for the link!

I intend to wander along your gorgeous Guardian actor picspams for days, what a treasure trove. Isn't etegami great? I love finding out about things like that.

Yay! I'm happy to provide. :D

Wow, I just looked at all the etegami you made for everyone's prompts. Those are amazing. <3

It really looks more and more like an art form I should look into. It's refreshingly approachable.

[personal profile] marycrawford 2022-01-16 03:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks for the kind words! I encourage you to take up etegami if it feels right for you, it's so much fun.

It's refreshingly approachable.
Yes, this! I love how the style and approach are so loose, it's very freeing.

I missed this when you put it up (probably bc I was feeling sulky about not being able to participate in More Joy day exactly as I'd wanted 😄😅) but [personal profile] tinny pointed me back to it and I'm so glad. I love your postcards a lot--like, I would buy a set of those printed, for real. Thank you for sharing them and the link!

[personal profile] marycrawford 2022-02-14 01:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Aw, that's so kind of you, thank you! I will probably make another offer post soon, when I feel like I have time to spare, because I still have etegami paper left and I love sending out cards.
