Kemp's Sand Carpet!

I wonder if this would make me more or less productive. Definitely less stressed, but probably more distracted too. I kind of want to replicate it on a small 1ft by 1ft scale so that my chair can still roll around.

DIY Life Calendar from Etsy

The 365 days are represented by an emoticon that you have to draw as the day has gone (very good, good, regular, bad, very bad).

Notice: This calendar is not for any specific year. You can start it when you want! When starting a new year, an anniversary, an important date or the day that you prefer :)

So I'm buying this! RIGHT NOW.
Its fairly cheap ( the shipping is almost the same as the price of the poster) And it would be interesting to look back on significant days like anniversaries, birthdays etc. and figure out how I felt like in the moment and not how I've colored the day to be in my memory.

I like you, you're different.

So my sister gave me fabric markers for Christmas. Which are pretty awesome, though I want more colours, like black for instance :)

This is what I made so far. Pretty decent for a first attempt I would say.

Inspiration shot, taken in Museum of Natural History, New York last summer during my stay there.

I also used this random Japanese website that (as far as I understand) has stylized images of a whole bunch of different kinds of birds, to get the general shape of my birds since Magic Markers don't exactly allow for a lot of "artistic" expression as far as blending and shading go.
