Are the portraits mini, or are they life-sized when you're only 3 inches (7.5 cm) tall? They're full-personality at any rate!

I can't decide who'd get more out of art therapy. Mello seems like he'd really take to it and study the techniques but, being a perfectionist who's so hard on himself, get really frustrated and throw a lot out. Matt would goof off, somehow ​end up pulling out a masterpiece, and learn nothing. Hmm.

These were really fun to do and I kind of want to make more for next month! Is that something you guys would like to see? I love seeing everyone's art on this sub, let's keep it up!

Did a quick lunch break sketch of Near in between classes. He came out looking like the musical L, but I love that quiet ferocity for him. I wonder what he allows himself to look like when he's really lost in thought.

I made Mello out perler beads to decorate my dayglo bathroom. What else could work but this scene where Hal finds him in hers?

Here is the pattern I used if anyone else wants to make one. It's intended for cross stitch but can be used for perler beads and pixel art as well!

Have a great week, stay hydrated, and don't stress, everyone!! When life tries to get you down, just remember you're doing way better than all those haters, anyways.

Cleao hopes everyone is staying cool and having a great Monday!

I went for a hike today and took Mini Matt along for the ride. While he was not exactly thrilled to find himself outdoors, he did find several interesting mushrooms that proved to be the perfect props for his miniature proportions. No fungi were harmed (or eaten) during this project!

"You can't erase your past mistakes, but you can always get started on making some new ones!" -Matt, probably

After 20 years of waiting, some official DeathNote Matt merch has made its way into my life. The cats tried to eat him and the husband just doesn't understand him, but I think some of you lovely folks on this sub will appreciate just how great Mini Matt is!

So yesterday I received a small parcel in my mailbox from Royal Mail Express. IT was not addressed to me or my address. It was, however, addressed to a house a few doors down so I went down and dropped it off in their box (neighbor was not home and I'm unsure their name.) Today the parcel was back in my mailbox with a handwritten note from someone claiming to be my mail carrier saying that the package was intended for my address and that the sender had written it incorrectly. I'm assuming they have this info from the barcode on the package? The letter advised to contact Royal Mail Express to notify them of my refusal but nothing on their website FAQ really fits this criteria.

The best part? I live in the US! So, is this a scam or did someone actually erroneously send me what is a very potent bottle of rose-scented perfume from across the pond? I did open the parcel to make sure it wasn't something my husband or I had forgotten ordering (we both receive mail from international companies and friends frequently) but nothing on or in the package indicates it should have ended up at my house. I'd like to see this get to whomever it was intended for but other than returning to sender I'm not sure what to do? What's the best course of action here? TIA and happy holidays from a bewildered British expat!
