Here is quick master list of the October blog posts (not including Patreon posts).
The starred posts have art and writing exercises (tags: writing exercise, art exercise), but most of the observation journal posts can generally be adapted for those purposes too.

- This Saturday! Festival of Cancelled Events at Avid Reader (done now, went wonderfully)
- Mystery 101 sketches
- *Observation Journal: In-world surface patterns (swapping the decorations of fairy tales, written and drawn)
- Cat sketches
- Sneak peek: Mirrors and clocked stockings

- Books read, things seen — August 2021
- All the Murmuring Bones — limited edition (book cover reveal)
- Mother Thorn Process Post (lots of pictures)

Note: If you’d like to support art and writing and posts like these about it, patrons at (patreon.com/tanaudel) get behind-the-scenes process and sneak-peeks, starting from US$1, or you could buy me a (virtual) coffee or two at ko-fi.com/tanaudel (and I get through quite a bit of coffee).
