Mercury Retrograde by Amber D'Amato

I associate the planet Mercury with the Maiden and Twins. The Twins represent Gemini - change, adventure, and extroverted intellect. The Maiden represents Virgo - exacting, honest, and introverted intellect.

Mercury in Retrograde means we see truth illuminated. It is about translating wisdom and personal awareness. We will unearth old pains and secrets of the past and purify it. It might help to write in a journal, embrace creative activities, tie up loose ends, and organize your responsibilities.

My Favorite Art Supplies for Pencil Drawings

Drawing of Zoe Kravitz by Amber D'Amato Instagram Reel of Zoe Kravitz's Drawing Woodless Graphite Pencils by Koh-I-Noor This 12-pack of woodless pencils has 6 different grades: HB, 2B, 4B, 6B, 8B, and 9B. I love these pencils because you can achieve a wide range of depth of dark and light. The only thing that would make this pack better is a 2H pencil. I like to lightly sketch out a drawing on paper before I commit to darker graphite that is harder to erase. This pack was $20 but I had a half-off coupon, pretty awesome for $10. Especially since I love them. Woodless Colour Pencils by Koh-I-Noor Koh-I-Noor's Woodless Colour Pencils usually go for $20, but I found them in the clearance section of Michaels for $5. I don't think anyone knows how great they are, I certainly did not. They are fun to color in a coloring book, newsprint paper, and regular sketchbook paper. I have yet to use them on better quality paper. The colors are vibrant, nothing special, but what makes t...

Ink Pens from fiVE BEL°W

fiVE BEL°W I wanted to see if fiVE BEL°W art supplies were worth the money. The short answer? Yes, if you will be using them to write a quick note or sketch. It is not worth the money if you want to use them for an art project. Discover the reasons by reading further below. Blueberry, Kiwi, Cedar Wood, Sea Beach, Sandalwood, Patchouli, Coco, Jasmine, Jasmine Tea, Gardenia, Just Peachy, Lemonade, Vanilla Bean, Rose, Bubble Gum, Watermelon. SCENTED FELT TIP PENS INK QUALITY: While the ink exhibits a smooth flow on paper, its pigmentation is lacking, resulting in insufficient coverage. It requires multiple layers to achieve a solid, vibrant color, and even then, the saturation falls short of the desired intensity. However, I do like how l ight and comfortable it is to hold. THE SCENT: Good news, I don't think this will end up being the gateway drug for the little ones. It had a nice quality to it like a subtle version of Strawberry Shortcake &...
