There’s a Lithuanian paper company called SM.LT which produces really nice sketchbooks. I have a few of their drawing pads, which I enjoy a lot. However, yesterday I saw that they also have [this watercolor book](https://www.smltart.com/Product/art/professional-art-pads/Watercolor-stonebook/) which seems to have really good quality paper and the cover is made of slate? It looks so amazing. I checked yesterday and could only find it on Amazon for 32 Euros, which I thought was expensive (but it’s not outrageous for a quality watercolor book). I put it in my basket and this morning it’s 40. What 😭
I make my own sketchbooks for watercolor out of a single large sheet. I don’t bind it like they do but it lays flat and I can use paper that I am used to. However I would have considered buying this to support a small European company and for the quality and novelty. But 40 is a bit too much 😞 Maybe it’ll get cheaper. In the meantime I can fill my other book.
It’s the 25th anniversary of the Fellowship of the Ring, and cinemas all over are showing the extended version again. In the LotR sub there are many younger fans going “omg seeing it in the movies for the first time!!!” And here I am, thinking, I was there, Gandalf. I was there 3000 years ago.
Did you see the movies in the movie theaters back then?
