[Random] About Art Supplies & Stuff [001]

Hi to everyone ;)

I thought that since I am not posting constantly about new Artworks, I could use some space and post about Art Supplies I use or I'd like to have :D
You're most welcome to give me some advice if you've got any experience with the things I post here ;)

So first of all today I coincidentally stumbled on this:


It's a limited Edition of 888 either Biros or Pens from the Brand Caran d'Ache Geneve for the Year of the Dragon in 2012. 
Total cost: 2500,-€

The description I found about this 'objet d'art' which is surely not for using imo:
The Chinese lacquering is a masterpiece of craftsmanship: the body of the pen is given several coats, first red then black. The result is a truly dramatic contrast as the fire-red dragon seems to explode out of an infinity of intense black. The Geneva company is one of the very few Western manufacturers to master this ancient technique. Chinese lacquer is a natural product, derived from the resin of the "Rhus Vernicifera", that creates delicate reflections and incredibly deep colours. Chinese Lacquer is applied by hand in a succession of layers then polished many times in an exclusive process that combines traditional Chinese methods and modern technology. The mystery surrounding the colour of Chinese lacquer is even greater.
But it would be really nice to have one though, wouldn't it ? :'D

Chimney-san Good Luck Charm ☆

Chimney-san Good Luck Charm © 2010/12 by LdT

Wish you much Luck on Friday 13th ♥ :D

  • Medium: Copic Marker
This is Chimney-san, the hard-working but ever-smiling Chimney Sweeper from Brittannia ♥
He works precisely and fast in the middle of the dark when the moon is watching from the deep, nightblue sky and whenever he finishes fixing and cleaning a chimney he'll leave a clover-leaf behind at a hidden place between the bricks on top of a roof for wishing good Luck and Safety...


Haha just joking ~~  xDD

I drew Chimney-san some years ago on another picture with the topic: Luck&Happiness.
Because I dislike that picture but Chimney-san, I decided to cut him out of it and give him some more extra-space as a Good-Luck-Charm here :3
Simply-drawn but simple is best, isn't it ? :D I usually have a problem with drawing simple things or rather keep thinks simple and plain xD That's why I like Chimney-san |D
The Chinese Character  褔 (fù) means Luck ^^

So I'm wishing you to have Luck on this Friday 13th instead of misfortune ! ;)
