#60

“Tea pot kitty” was sketched tonight at the library. This tea pot is adorable and the hole for the spout is in the arm. I had to look at it closely to find the opening. I like sketching tea cups and tea pots.

Today’s Sktchy #56

Today was the cleanup day after the party. We had to put all the furniture back where it belongs, put away all of the party appliances and unused supplies. The chair has moved to the living room for now. We may have to use it once GoT season 7 comes on this Spring. MaybeContinue reading “Today’s Sktchy #56”

Today’s sktchy is sculpture, kinda

“Game of Thrones”. #56 Not a sketch tonight, more of a sculpture… made this chair for my husband’s 60th birthday. It took more time to find the parts than it did to make the chair. I might have to use this chair as a prop for sketch night! The chair is even more awesome inContinue reading “Today’s sktchy is sculpture, kinda”

I used a Pilot Mini fountain pen that had not waterproof ink in it so I hadContinue reading “Billy Joel Concert and today’s Sktchy”

Fountain pen maintenance day

Fountain pens must either be used daily or they need to be flushed weekly. Today was flushing day…..shamefully, a few pens needed a cold bath today….however, all are well and happy now. Today, I took a J Harbin mini fountain pen on a road test. After I flushed it I filled it and used itContinue reading “Fountain pen maintenance day”

Today’s sketches

This morning I went out and sat by the water to do this. I really need to tweak my car set up because it is a awkward to paint in the car. It is still too chilly for me to sit outside especially when recovering from being sick, so sitting in the car keeps meContinue reading “Today’s sketches”

Haiku drawings

Haiku drawing….exercise where you draw a subject using just 7 lines and you draw the same subject 5 times. I switched it up by using 7 colors so it was easier to actually see all 7 lines…. Another set of Haiku drawings and I am calling it a night…..I like the full black ink drawingContinue reading “Haiku drawings”
