Boring But Useful: Sand Timer App For Calligraphers

Happy Friday... Wanted to share a cool app I found recently. I typically use a manual, 60 minute timer to determine how much time I'm spending on lettering... This helps me gauge just how much time I'm spending on each envelope. Is it 3 minutes, 5 minutes? This way, I can properly plan the project and allot enough time.
I recently found a sand timer for my iPad that actually oozes little bitmaps or pixel shapes as the sand. Too cute. You can change the colors and there are a variety of alarms you can choose from. You can also leave out of the app and go somewhere else and it still slowly ticks. It too only has the capacity to time tasks that fall between 1 and 60 minutes. Really its 59:59 for some reason.

Red is my favorite
