In my last post I forgot to mention that it wasn't enough for Matty to just provide a pretty case, either... he rigged it to hold all the supplies I might need (except for the ink) - check it out :)
You can see there's extra batteries, alcohol swabs, needle-holders, and even a little dish (the upside down pop bottle cap) to hold the ink :) Oh, and those are my very cool hippy shades sitting next to the case :) Totally unrelated, but I thought I'd point them out anyway.
Anyway! You can see the pegs he put in to hold everything in place. He put a lot of care into it :)
As I remember, the motor runs steady but gently, and the needle(s) are really, really sharp, so it actually worked quite well. Except I had a little trouble holding it steady. And I learned about being careful how you put pressure on your skin, 'cause stretching it the wrong way can really warp your sense of direction when drawing - one minute a line is here, next minute it's there: yikes! Lol. Yea, learning! :)
Speaking of which, I need to be getting back to my guitar... I've got a lot of studying to do, I have some new things in mind.. but no promises!
:)
Yay! For several reasons :)
