Hi, Hive community! It's me Rox from @itravelrox. In this other account, I am introducing my other username Artsy Foxy Roxy. While the main account loves to travel, this account is unleashing the inner creativity that I've been craving.
This is my office setup: New Year, New Desk Update

My Artsy History
Before I became a traveler, I used to be a home buddy. While working online, I used to love sketching, drawing, and painting using less expensive materials.
I also had my little business in my hometown like customized t-shirts, mugs, water tumblers, printing business cards, and handmade personalized notepads.
I did some practice with digital drawing using my graphic pen and tablet and it was helpful to use it for my photo editing jobs for my online job.

I will also share my old creations to reminisce about the fun.

The Purpose of Creating this Account
I am getting back to my first love which is drawing, sketching, and painting. I just wanted to be artsy.
I am also planning to build a home-based business. But it is just a plan. I need to know my markets here in France. I need to study more about it on how can I start. This is the complicated part but let's skip it first. I don't want to stress on the business side. Let's build it little by little.
The main purpose is I need to do something to calm my nerves, to de-stress, to relax, and just be happy with different colors.
I want this account to be STRESS-FREE. For now, this account will be for my arts and crafts. I just want to have fun away from my computer as a stay-at-home mom.
Also, I will follow a lot of artists here on Hive.
Oh, well, enough with my intro. Let's take a peek at the art materials that I've purchased. Thank you Hive earnings! :D

Unboxing my Stabilo Boss Original Highlighters
I used to buy Stabilo pens to highlight some important words in the book when I was studying in grade school. I needed to save money because it was expensive. And I bought 10 colors for 9 Euros, it was on sale here in France. I'm having fun using this on my bullet journal.

Other things I purchased
Before I purchased the highlighters and gouache paint, I started buying these from the supermarket.
A pencil case, the colored pens, and the pencils and erasers all for 6 Euros. The A5 sketchbook was something I purchased from AliExpress.
My first practice sketch in this sketchbook.
