Day 63 of #The100DayProject I had to look up the word #Wisp Won't say never heard of it but didn't quite know the meaning of it. I went with a wisp of smoke out of a chimney. #PastInktober #FountainPen #WaterColour #Midori #MastoArt #InkyParker51
Day 62 of #The100DayProject Even before Corona I would buy toilet paper in #bulk. Ever since Corona it feels weird carrying toilet paper in bulk. This environmentally paper (no plastic, no bleach) can be bought in bulk online. They always have nice patterns on the paper wrap #PastInktober #FountainPen #WaterColour #GansaiTambi #Pencils #MixedMedia #Midori #MastoArt #InkyParker51
Day 61 of #The100DayProject My very first #radio was one with a cassette player/recorder built in. Lousy sound quality but how I loved that thing #PastInktober #FountainPen #WaterColour #Midori #MastoArt #InkyParker51
Day 59 of #The100DayProject they are very cute and I love seeing them, but in the end they are just a rat with a fancy tail #Rodent #PastInktober #FountainPen #WaterColour #Midori #MastoArt #InkyParker51
Day 58 of #The100DayProject some people think it’s fancy to write with #FountainPens. I just think it’s much better for the environment to fill a pen from an ink bottle #WaterColour #Pencils #Midori #MastoArt #InkyParker51
Day 54 of #The100DayProject I try to tie my drawing with some major political issue if I can, but I’m not a cartoonist. So while I can think of plenty #disgusting people and things, I couldn’t get myself to draw it. So instead and inspired that we just had our wedding anniversary I sketched the opposite of it, our wedding cake with some Cobra art which at the time was considered also disgustingly too simple #PastInktober #FountainPen #WaterColour #Midori #MastoArt #InkyParker51
Day 52 of #The100DayProject #PastInktober I love walking through the #dune landscape #FountainPen #WaterColour #MixedMedia #Midori #MastoArt #InkyParker51
Day 51 of #The100DayProject Normally I don’t like copying a drawing, but with #armour I wanted to do Joan of Arc and of course there are only drawings of her. I did place her in a fitting environment she wasn’t in before . #PastInktober #FountainPen #WaterColour #Midori #MastoArt #InkyParker51
Having a dip exactly on day 50 of #The100DayProject Not very inspired for #outpost #PastInktober but that’s life with ups and downs #FountainPen #WaterColour #Pencils #Midori #InkyParker51
Day 49 of #The100DayProject
Outer space aliens are often depicted as something evil. That idea was brought to us by mostly white men and they have such often unfunded credibility in this world, that nobody bats an eye by that notion. But it’s human who want to concur the universe and those who can have bad intentions. I want to think of aliens as peaceful creatures who travel by #rocket that leave a trail of flowers

Day 48 of #The100DayProject #PastInktober #FountainPen #WaterColour #Midori #MastoArt #InkyParker51 A lighthouse in a #storm of wild waves. TBH it could also be a cloud or snow avalanche. My DH pointed out it’s obvious it’s a wave since that’s where you’d find lighthouses
Day 47 of #The100DayProject a trap in Dutch means ladder, so I’ve gone with that. I’ve drawn one but all the books in the back have turned center attention, as they should. I don’t read much anymore but if I’d read more it would be any of these black writers. The POV should be refreshing for those who have not read them #PastInktober #FountainPen #WaterColour #Midori #InkyParker51
Day 46 of #The100DayProject since I’m doing all old Inktober prompts of all previous years in one go, some prompts come back repeatedly. Not so long ago it was #dizzy and now once again. This time I’m going with #DizzyGillespie the famous trumpeter #PastInktober #FountainPen #WaterColour #Midori #InkyParker51
Day 45 of #The100DayProject Many years ago we were on Curaçao and the kids found these #coral rocks on the beach. Since you’re not allowed to take them, I took a picture and every time I see the picture I’m amazed at the beautiful natural patterns these have. #PastInktober #FountainPen #WaterColour #Midori #InkyParker51
Shhhh on day 44 of #The100DayProject #PastInktober 21/2020 #FountainPen #WaterColourPencils #Midori #InkyParker51 Everybody is #sleep-ing
Day 43 of #The100DayProject I love cooking. At home I’m the #chef for sure #PastInktober #FountainPen #WaterColour #Midori #InkyParker51
FOSS NEWS
Mozilla launches Thundermail, a Gmail alternative email service with @thundermail email addresses, and Thunderbird Pro, which includes appointment scheduler, file sharing tools, and AI-powered features (Thunderbird Assist):
https://alternativeto.net/news/2025/4/mozilla-launches-thundermail-its-open-source-gmail-alternative-and-thunderbird-pro-services/
(POV it will be killed off after a short time like other Mozilla products lol. There's already Proton Mail, a privacy-focused mail service from a company with a better track record, more than 100 million users, also Tuta for those who don't mind it not being fully FOSS, so I don't really think Thundermail has a shot here, but nice try regardless, at least they try to have some source of income other than Google.)

Day 42 of #The100DayProject two ways to interpret #rip. I went through my old cemetery pictures and found this one. I don’t remember the story, but stories of loyal dogs even after the person who had them passes away are abundant. They are so loyal #PastInktober 23/2020 #FountainPen #WaterColour #Midori #InkyParker51
Day 41 of #The100DayProject these little animals #dig in our garden. My husband is not so happy, but I think it’s good for the biodiversity. #PastInktober 24/2020 #FountainPen #WaterColour #Midori #InkyParker51
