I was responding to Priscila's description of a mystery item that turned out to be bubble wrap:
"Soft, a bit stretchy, transparent-orange color, rhythmically spaced air-filled hemispheres, when popped, it creates an accumulation of thin material in the specific area."

aterials used:Old figsDark Chocolate BarThai BasilDog dry spot soothing balmI (Sam) was responding to Iyana's description of a thumb tack:
"It is sharp yet also smooth. It can bend and it can break, but it is also strong enough to hold things up. It can be colorful or it can be invisible. It is metal but also plastic. It comes in handy a lot especially when you have to display something."

I was responding to Vivians description of a branch.
"Fragile, some areas are darker, while some areas of the branches are perfectly erect, shining, organic brittle material that stands on its own, but if pressure is applied can break super easy. Many tones of greys, so many directional lines, doing its own thing."

Response to Anjali :"This is a tool. Its mechanical, its grey, it has a matching rubber grip so that you can hold onto it comfortably. It's a mass produced with a company name on the little tabby thing that sticks out right below the eraser. Also it comes with an eraser! So that you can erase your mistakes. Definitely the basic foundation for drawing but more modernized but not so much that it's outrageously complicated. Simple, sleek and I like the clicky sound it makes when I press the eraser down. It gives me just enough material to write and draw with precision. Hard, made of plastic and smells like grease."
