      Lucifer I grados headband is amazing. I would live one for my grados. I will pm you. Jii watch straps are tremendous!!!!

      Let me know if you want it in black, natural tan or brown and I'll make you one after Easter!

      I would love a brown one

      Which Grado do you have? Not sure if they are all the same size, I guess I only need the length of the headband you have now and the width of the metal post that runs trough it 🙂 I'll make one as soon as I have an evening off, just PM me your mail adress!

      Seize the day and don't you cry.

                              I use colored pencils and wax oil pastels on extra heavy paper.  The process is based on lines patterns and my handwriting.  Over time the force of either drawing lines or writing words creates textures in the cotton paper.  Thanks for asking, its a difficult process to introduce, so feel free to ask if there are other questions.

                              Cotton ages gracefully  😉

                                For example, these mounds are made from colored pencil dust and pieces of the paper that were torn away as I was writing (cursive handwriting in these, so its a little easier to shred the paper).

                                  In this one I wrote in print and cursive.  The print stands out, and the cursive blends-in.  This was a test scan that I reversed in photoshop just for kicks, no other edits.  The actual piece looks much different now, i'll get a pic soon.  Its a shade of green, if you can imagine.  The rainbow is the same in both, but the rock is light brown in the original.

                                    this is a test scan of an original piece done in colored pencil.  the first bar on the left is what the original looks like.  the next bar has been reversed in photoshop.  it alternates across the page- original, reversed, original, reversed…

                                          what do you mean, finn?  You don't get my descriptions, or you don't get the work?

                                          My descriptions are short because I'm just putting this up here so there's something nice to look at.  I can explain it better, but I didn't want to fill the thread with a bunch of words.  I would like to help if there's something you'd like to know.

                                            with so many things a lot is lost when you just see an image on your phone/computer screen  (1st thing that comes to mind are the clothing i buy from an online vendor in the uk).  in any event thanks for posting the images & sharing your process with us adam. i've heard artistic types are a tortured bunch & it takes a lot for them to share their creations (don't want to stereotype or anything but if that is the case wanted you to continue to share).
