So yep, I'm back from the North. The trip went well, I really enjoyed the scenery and peacefulness of Lapland and Norway. I was expecting some symptoms of withdrawal due to the lack of internet connections, but it wasn't as bad as I had thought. A bit bigger problem was proposed by the mosquitoes and other blood-sucking insects, they were everywhere! Thankfully there were quite a number of reindeer too, they're pretty much the number one reason why I like to travel the arctic so much.
I bought a beautiful reindeer hide from a Sámi merchant in the middle of a mountain road when we were driving back from Tromsø and a handmade silver reindeer pendant from a jewelry smith in Inari. I also found a pile of great books for my collection (I'm soon running out of shelf space here send help), a green calf mug by Marimekko, a couple of t-shirts, jeans and a few stuffed animals (too many of those as well aaaagh).
I'll be heading to Helsinki in next Friday. There won't be any reindeer in such a southern place, but at least I'll finally be able to see the museums of the capital, such as Ateneum art museum and the natural history museum. I've never visited those~

Ah, taas niin upeaa Ghoulia. Mä vieläkin pohdin salaisuuttasi noiden linearttien suhteen... Miten sä teet sen. ;;
Ja ite olin onnessani viime viikolla kun olin reissussa Helsingissä - ei hyttysen hyttystä (toisinkuin täällä lapissa 8|) Ja hei, jos biologia ja anatomia kiinnostaa, niin suosittelen todella paljon Heurekaa ja siellä olevaa Body Worlds-näyttelyä. Oli aivan mahtava, itse tosiaan kävin siellä viime viikolla!

Aaa voi kiitos ;u; Mutta ei niiden linearttien suhteen ole mitään salaisuutta, tussilla vain söherrän~
Joo-o, hyttysten määrän kyllä huomasin :'D Yövyimme Levillä viime viikolla ja verenimijöiden määrä oli uskomaton, sain niistä jonkin allergisen reaktion ja kaikkea. Sympatiani~
ARGH ai se ihmisruumisnäyttely? Voi, olen halunnut nähdä sen jo pitkään, en muistanut, että se on nyt Heurekassa. Ikävä kyllä koko viikonloppu on jo aika pitkälti suunniteltu, en varmaan ehdi sinne :U
Ja näin sivumennen sanoen, olen aikeissa muuttaa Rovaniemelle :> Opiskelupaikka löytyi Lapin yliopistosta ja opiskelija-asunto varattu, haha~

This is truly amazing! ;u;
*u* I also visited Norway (4 months ago though) with my mother cx , it was raining most of the time, and the mountains were still cowered in snow so we didn't spend much time in nature or outside ;u;. We visited lots of museums though. But we did visit the famous Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock). We were lucky that day, it was sunny and warm. And since Preikestolen isn't that high it wasn't any snow up there. And next day we were on a fjord cruise passing right under the it, so we really saw it from all directions c:
All in all, it was really beautiful <3 I wanna visit it again in summer time
Back to the point, I was just wondering which sizes of fineliners do you use the most, if I may ask? ^-^

I'm glad you enjoyed Norway, and have fun in Helsinki! I think it's almost ten years since last time I visited that city. This drawing is really nice, I adore the way you draw paws and colour your work. It's recognisable as your style even if you browse them by thumbnails, which is really cool!
