If only I was better at drawing squirrels! We always need more art of you guys out there burying your acorns and chasing one another up trees.

Such charming little fellas 🐿️

People who develop their own film are incredible to me, I never know you were into that! That’s really awesome, Zunel.

YOU’RE really awesome, Zunel :)

I love old tech (one of the reasons I had an old PC lying around in the first place)! The limitations add to the charm… as long as they don’t also add on a bunch of frustrations to 😅

What kinds of film projects do you work on? Photography?

So… my tablet suddenly broke and it was the only device that could connect to my old printer where I scan in all my drawings.

Since the drivers only work on older computers my only option was to dust off an old machine and get it running again.

It runs on WindowsXP.
This is my life now.

Screenshot of a WindowsXP desktop. A window is open and shows a drawing in the process of being scanned in.

A search window behind it has a small cartoon dog in the bottom left corner as a user helper. This might be a superior operating system.

Back at this again.
Almost done.

Pencil drawing of a fox sitting beside a window with a cup and book in hand.

The drawing is on a ripped out page of a dictionary; the last page. It sits on the table of a coffee shop with a cup and pencils nearby.

Having a drink while drawing a guy having a drink. ☕️🦊

Pencil sketch of a fox lounging with a cup and reading a book.

The drawing is on a ripped out page of a dictionary and sits on the table of a coffee shop. A cup to the right side is casting a harsh shadow across it.

A little summer scene in progress.
📄✏️

The beginnings of a pencil drawing.
The drawing is incomplete, but the outline of a raccoon can be seen reaching for something from a food stand while balancing on an unstable bucket.

The paper is taped to stiff cardboard with blue painter's tape surrounding it. It sits on a wooden table.

YOU'RE BREAKING UP WITH ME

Pipes' Crafting Corner @raccooncrafts.bsky.social · Jan 30

While I definitely TRY to be careful, I have to admit that there ended up being two little coffee specks on the paper in the end.

Thankfully they were in an spot where heavy shading could cover them up and not in the white snowy areas 😅

Of course! Even after all this time, I'm still learning from my mistakes and hope to better the process in the future.

Funny how this all started from a small box of cards found in a goodwill bin :p

Ever heard the expression "it takes a village"? Turns out the "it" was actually raccoon cards all along and the "village" was a collage of helpful critters 🦝🦎🦊🦡

@raccooncrafts.bsky.social I received the beautiful cards today(I checked my mailbox everyday waiting for it!) I'm still impressed by your Chinese characters and I moved to Canada just to be closer to you of course. And Happy Chinese New Year!😘

Oh I've heard of those! Those are the phones with the number circle that goes tktktktktktk when you throw them down the stairs!

I appreciate the gesture, Zunel, but I don't see how that would help 🤨

Pipes' Crafting Corner @raccooncrafts.bsky.social · Jan 21

While it is a bit of work, it's fun for me to get to tinker and find new ways to make things or make the same things but better. These restless hands need to be crafting somethin' or other.

Just happy that it can make other people happy as well :)

Sometimes I feel my stomach rumble. Is that okay? I think I have a condition.

It's usually cured by sneaking to the nearest corner store at 4am, sticking to the shadows, climbing the fire escape, tumbling down the air vent into aisle 7, and consuming all the Gardetto's.

Wish it came in a pill.

Awoke to this year's winter greeting card from @pipesburrow.bsky.social in the mailbox! Although I did not receive the coveted "funny-looking worm" edition this season, it was nonetheless a pleasant surprise! Thank you Pipes!

A separate post to give a BIG thank you to all the people who donated. I’m not exaggerating when I say that I don’t know what I’d do without you. ❤️

Any bit that’s left over I set aside in a secret box. One day I hope to have enough to get a printer of my very own :)
