First look at the travel palette prototype! I'm SO very happy with the quality! The engraving is really intricate and the smooth curves feel amazing! Can't wait to take it out for sketching tomorrow 😁

I'm finally moving away from Etsy to my own shop website! 🎉 All merch have migrated over!

This gives me much better flexibility to organize my shop properly, and to offer pre-orders, restock notifications, etc (not to mention avoid the evil Etsy mafia shenanigans).

Going forward, please support me by ordering directly thru my website!

📦 BINGYING X NATSUME HANDMADE COLLAB COLLECTION includes:
✦ Travel watercolor palette with engraving art by Bingying
✦ Hand-bound watercolor sketchbooks in 4 designs with art by Bingying

All items are lovingly handmade by Natsume Handmade Studio and sold through my website


✨ KEY INFO
➤ Pre-orders start late July. Sign up for email alert thru link above *
➤ Pre-order window will last for 2 weeks. Items will still be available after pre-orders close, but prices may increase.
➤ 1 mystery design each for palette and sketchbook, available only during pre-order (hint: I've already posted them before)

* if you've already DM'd me to get launch alert, no need to sign up again!


❓What about my Etsy shop?
My Etsy shop will remain open, and all open orders will still be shipped as scheduled. However, future pre-orders and restock notif will only be thru my website, due to Etsy's limited features.

As a general rule, buying directly from an artist's own website is the best way to support them, so they can avoid Etsy's exorbitant fees and lack of control over AI art and drop-shippers.

.
My Pinkoi and BASE shops will shut down over the next few days, because my new website has great support for customers in Asia! This will save me so much headache from updating listings on multiple platforms.

🌐 Translation for the website is a (painful) work in progress, and will have better language support very soon!

VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE DESIGN!
Exciting news ✨ Many of you asked if I'm bringing back the travel watercolor palette. I've actually been working on a special project! In collaboration with Natsume Handmade, one of my favorite sketchbook & art supply makers, I'll be launching an exclusive palette with an engraving of my art!

Please pick your favorite!
Winning design will launch in late July.

Note that the photos are rough prototypes on scrap material, and without oil finish. They'll look a lot better in the actual product! See the last 2 options for an example of what the finished product will look like.

I'm very excited because this version will use even higher-quality materials than the last ones I sold months ago, and with beautifully rounded edges too. Can't wait to start using it 😆

I'll also be launching some very pretty watercolor sketchbooks with this collection as well! Stay tuned for more sneak peeks.

I’ve been really into painting little sketches without doing any linework lately! It’s so much faster, and has a more whimsical vibe than my usual style.

Thinking of doing a small pocket-sized zine with artworks all in this style, once I have more sketches.

First of all, THANK YOU for 10K subs!!! 🥳
I can't believe how fast my tiny little channel has grown since I started it 4 months ago, and how many amazing connections I've made through it. I've already met 3 lovely people who made time to visit my art booth on their Japan trip!

A few announcements - I finally got a booth for Tokyo Design Festa in May!!! I'm psyched there was a last minute cancellation and I get to exhibit at the biggest art market in Japan again. I have several shows in the next 2 months, so stop by if you're in the area!

Also, my new art book Tokyo Hidden Gems is out now!
📚 Worldwide shipping available thru Etsy: www.etsy.com/listing/4487914430/tokyo-hidden-gems-…

I didn't even have time to make an announcement on launch day, because you guys flooded me with so many pre-orders that I've been packing and shipping for 3 days straight 😂 THANK YOU THANK YOU!

And I'm very scared to make more announcements because I only have 10 shipping boxes left 😭 Waiting for more boxes to arrive in about a week so I can keep pumping out orders...

From the bottom of my heart, I'm so grateful for all of your support. I can't stress how lucky I am that I get to sell my artwork for a living now, and I'm so incredibly touched that my art has made it to all corners of the world (167 cities in 25 countries, according to Etsy!)

📚 My NEW ART BOOK "Tokyo Hidden Gems" is ready for pre-order now! Shipping starts April 20 worldwide

I love to wander the streets of Tokyo and document my favorite discoveries in my watercolor journal. This is my hand-drawn guide to the best off-the-beaten-path spots throughout this amazing city ✨

Get the insider scoop from a local artist living in Tokyo 😄 You can use this book to plan your future trip to Japan, or just look at the pretty watercolor pictures!

It's a 36-page full-color zine printed on premium specialty watercolor-textured paper, so it feels like a real watercolor sketchbook.

🛍️ Pre-order via Etsy: www.etsy.com/listing/4487914430/pre-order-tokyo-hi…

🌟 If you have any UNSHIPPED orders with me, message me on Etsy after placing your order so you can combine shipping (one of the shipping fee will be refunded to you).

Went sketching in the park with Emily and Daidus from ‪@SpilledInkyt‬ yesterday! (That means I’ll be making a second guest appearance on Spilled Ink soon 😆)

It was such a gorgeous day with cherry blossoms in full bloom! Tokyo will be raining non-stop for a few days so sadly this is probably my last sakura painting of the season. Working on a sakura-themed sketching adventure video for next week 🌸

Just finished off the final spreads for my Tokyo Hidden Gems zine! So happy to finally be done with the main content for this nearly year-long project 😭

Now I just need to draw the cover, take apart the sketchbook and scan everything, post-process, do layout & design, translate into 3 versions, and send off to printing 😅

This zine introduces my favorite off-the-beaten-path things to do in various areas throughout Tokyo. This will be published as an art book around end of April, and will be available in English, Japanese, and Chinese. Stay tuned!
