Not just any white


I'm saying goodbyes. They've discontinued the making of my favorite paper. This is the second time I've had this happen to me, but luckily I can still get some of that lovely 100% recycled grayish brown paper from the local art supply shop since I'm probably the only one buying it. No such luck this time, the perfect creamy white is gone for good. I now need to learn to use a bright white paper with a similar light grain but a slightly heavier weight. It's fine, but it's so very white. Of course I have other creamy whites but they're not the same. I just keep falling in love with things that are bound to be discontinued or are no longer available in Finland when I finally realize what a gem I've found. Like the perfect lip balm, chocolate bar, or just the right colored tights, and well, paper.

Can you tell that I'm procrastinating? I just don't feel like wearing my respirator and goggles. I'm never going to get that sanding part done. I know it would take like a half an hour, but I just can bring myself to getting it done. I did almost finish a skirt. I guess it doesn't count.
