Maxx here to tell you all about what we included in the March subscription boxes. Here's a pre-packed Deluxe box in the photo above. The biggest development is that someone let me order half-size (10mL) jars for the ink. I wanted to start making sets for the ink and using the 20mL jars felt too large.
March's box includes THREE of the sets! I'm sure you can tell I'm really loving making them. Douglas-fir Set is a subscription box early release and won't be in the shop until later this month. It includes two sparkly inks - a deep green and a medium brown - that instantly reminded me of a Douglas-fir. Pseudotsuga menziesii is a pretty impressive tree, with only the Redwoods growing taller. Brewer's favorites Banana Slug, Dahlia & Blood Orange. Like Salish in last month's box, these three expand the line of inks with a modified formula. What do I love about them? They don't lose saturation as quickly as the other inks. This set also comes with a little journal that I block printed, it reads "Make Art, Tell Stories, Change the World, Live Forever". The plan is to have this set of inks rotate out monthly. False Spring It happens every year, right? We get a few days of bright sun and warm weather and forget what spring is actually like in the Pacific NW. This set includes Sky Puddle, Secret Moss & En Nui. I feel like these are my three moods of March and hopefully you'll enjoy them too. Also, did I made a set without sparkles? Yes, I did. Rail Spike Sometimes we find a jar on a shelf and go "Oh, I think there was one jar left of ------" but then we swatch it and get a mystery ink. These are usually drawing inks since they are harder to identify exactly what is in them. Rail Spike is a drawing ink that we thought might be half a dozen other colors but proved to be a limited jar all its own. Silver Half Pan! Just a silver watercolor, but it's new for us. And it looks great. Block Printed Books When we saw these square blank books, we thought they'd be perfect for some of our block prints. You'll find a variety of them in the shop and one of them in your box if you're a Delux Subscriber. I hope you enjoy this nearly-spring collection of art materials. We're looking forward to making even more treats for you in the next month!
