Many thanks to the_vulture for sending me another tip! I'll be posting two detail views of Teddy's Terrific Travels once I'm done cleaning it up (probably early next week).

Thanks also to ysabetwordsmith and aldersprig for linking my post about possibly crowdfunding an Inkling. I honestly never expected anyone to be that enthusiastic about buying me new art supplies! Working on the Torn World colouring book yesterday made me think that the Inkling might be a really good tool for that sort of inking. Do you guys like colouring pages?

As my cub is 14 months old, coloring books/pages are on my radar of things to buy him. He's not coloring much yet, but it's just a matter of time.

Yes...

I like coloring pages. Usually I just look at them, but occasionally I print them out. I've compiled coloring books for kids a few times, using stuff I found online for free printout. ellenmillion's coloring books are beautiful things.

Also, I've noticed that fans are pretty enthusiastic about funding raw materials and art supplies. I suspect that the practical as well as the creative aspect appeals to them -- it's something concrete that they can easily understand buying. They know what a pen is and does, even if the Inkling is a super-science-fiction-magic pen that draws on paper and records the image in bits. haikujaguar does paintbrush fundraisers periodically and those are a big hit. ellenmillion has been fundraising to decorate a nursery, so blackout curtains and wall paint and such. *ponder* Huh ... wonder if I could get folks to fund me a trip to a scrapbook store sometime?
