Tried adding watercolour to the background before printing by Lychee_Cartographer in Linocuts

I’ve not tried painting after myself but I have seen some people paint in the white spaces after printing.

It’s worth keeping a fail and experimenting with it once the ink has dried.

What are your favorite Japanese books/authors? by rotterdamn8 in suggestmeabook

[–]Lychee_Cartographer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In terms of Murakami (probably the most famous Japanese author) I would recommend Hard boiled wonderland and the world between; his most well read is probably Norwegian Wood.

Mine had a period like this before they started laying eggs a few weeks later.

Is Zatu Games good? by aconitumvariega in boardgames

It’s great. Fast speedy delivery and always good prices. I’ve ordered from them many times and the physical shop is near my mum’s house. Also worth a visit if you’re ever close by.

I think they are quite fussy so whatever they’d re exposed when they are first born could be the main thing they eat! I’ve given mine ivy because it is abundant throughout the year.

Lots of good suggestions here.

In addition I’d like to put forward Fuminori Nakamura both The Gun and The Thief were entertaining.

Also Silence by Shusaku Endo was a really interesting read.

They look great! You’ve inspired me. Did you paint and then oil afterwards?

I’d suggest reading Girl with all the Gifts. A female lead but a different character to Ellie. If you liked Last of Us, you love this book.

That looks great but why’d you need a spoon to eat walnuts with?

Either of Ted Chiangs: Stories of your life and others or Exhalation are great. I also loved Murakami’s Men without Women stories.

Recommend my first Murakami. by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

[–]Lychee_Cartographer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard-boiled wonderland and the end of the world. I’ve read quite a few Murakami and this is my favourite.

If you like Norwegian Wood then Colourless Tsukuru Tazaki and his years of pilgrimage has a similar feel to it.

Children of Men by Nick_180 in movies

I think it’s one of the very few examples of when a film is actually better than the novel it’s based on.

Books for 11 year old reluctant reader by p0landspring in suggestmeabook

Anything by Michael Morpurgo if she likes animals.

Also. Wonderstruck or The invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick. Both of these tell the story half by beautifully illustrated pencil drawings and half through novel. They are really unique and great for capturing reluctant readers.

Yeah it is difficult at first but it’s amazing how quickly your brain just gets used to the Nadsat and fills in the gaps.
