Still can't get black and gold leaf crackle out of my mind. Maybe some day soon I will order one. When the customs come back of course.
Hemptation, did you finally decide you couldn't live without the Cholla Cactus?![]()

Congrats to whomever. It'll go with some very cheerful outfits.
It's showing again. Thank you all for being here for me. My Reo just got here and I don't even feel the excitement. When I have time I will get pics. I have to go pick up my niece who is flying in to be with her dad here shortly. He is inconsolable and has an arsenal at his home.I am really concerned for him.
Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
Aw Hemp my friend... unfortunately, that's one of those blanks that is very, very limited in what you can do with it as far as shapes. (That's why the shape is always pretty much the same when Doug makes one of those.)Can't believe I passed on it. But I know that time will come. That is the one tip I am always gawking at on the home page. That tip has peeked my interest many. Many times. My issue is. I want a specific shape of one when I get it. I am finding that the shape of the tip. Makes the tip And some are for some People. Like taste. It is all subjective to that person's taste
I'm so glad that you were seeing purple, pink and teal tones! I even edited the photo to match what I was seeing in the dim light.I saw those purple / pink tones / teal tones and KNEW they would be there. I had faith. One thing I have learned from stalking MHM thread for the past year is the tips are unique and have pretty darn near every color necessery to blend with anything as if they were made to match. I've got both the red (raspberry) and blue istick coming (someday) and lots of purple/pink/teal in my other devices. Can't go wrong!
I am aiming for one of the drop cloth and polka dot tips someday. I almost bought a blue provari to match that up, up and away tip (crewed on hot air balloons for awhile too). How crazy is that? I loved that tip and I think it's because I couldn't figure out how that blank was made. I'm toying with the idea of getting one of those vaccum pressure things and creating some blanks myself. I've got some ideas that might work for tips (not pens).
I'm glad to hear there are others that are biologically unable to function immediatley after waking up. It's not a choice. Early morning people just can't comprehend it until they see it. My rambling for the day.
Crazy thing is, I made that tip. I should have known what colors I used. lol Those are the two colors of the istick I'd like to get my hands on. Gorgeous colors and would be fun to dress.
That one wasn't a blank. It was a one of a kind. 
Alrighty, give! Who got the Cholla tip? I LOVE mine...and had to scramble and pull it out and touch it lovingly just to make sure it was real after all. Whoever you are, congratulations, prepare yourself to be blown away when it arrives!!!!
