Plants I encountered on the Kungsleden, part 2. I was getting in more difficult terrain identifying the different species with these pages, though still managable. There are some formidable tools for that online! Mainly https://identify.plantnet.org/, but I also stumbled across this really lovely blog: https://www.wunderbares-lappland.de/pflanzendesnordens/ Done based on reference photos from the hike and other references found online. Ordered roughly by when we encountered the plants and the terrain they grow in.

People are talking about what voice Public Domain Mickey should have, and for some reason. My brain keeps going back to Nathan Lane.

Dialogue comes from Lane’s performance in Angels in America II: Perestroika

Hey, everyone! Have this translated Studio Ghibli guide to watercolours that a classmate sent me.

Wanted to draw the cute Tinkaton wearing a festive Kimono that you can get in Pokemon Café Remix right now. And added a few matching buddies for her to hang out with. 😊

does it still count as a zine when i'm just drawing whatever watercolour thing comes to mind but it's in an 8 page booklet? i say yes

there will be a reblog with closups, because the textures up close are really beautiful and tumblr doesn't want me to add more than 10 images at once

it'd make me very happy to hear which page you like best

More Kungsleden watercolours! 1) View from the highest point of the Kungsleden: The Tjätkja pass. Seeing the expanse of this landscape, the beautiful colours, all those textures and its remoteness was very moving and it feels so special to me that I got the opportunity to paint and thus spend a little longer in this place, feasting my eyes and filling my heart. 2) Saying Goodbye to the trail by having lunch in the harbour with perfect views of Njulla. 3) Murky afternoon at Alesjaure. We walked a bit further past the hiking cabins and found a good spot for wild camping halfway down the lake. Alesjaure greeted us in the wildest shade of turquoise next morning. 4) Lunch break up at Tarfala, looking at one of the glaciers. I cooled down so much from sitting still and painting, that it took me 1,5 h walking downhill again, before my fingers weren't numb anymore.
