Talking Stick

Prismacolor pencil on driftwood. This was a 

challenge to photograph!

He loves me, he loves me not

He loves me.

SpiroDoodle

This is a Spirograph-like application that could easily

suck hours out of my day. Hours spent delightfully, mind

you. This is a spattering of the ones doodled this evening.

Sitting with a pen in my hand

I have a book called the Dancing Wu Li Masters

(I think that's the title, I can't find it at the moment) 

about Sufis.  It has a wheel pattern on the cover and 

somehow, the pattern found it's way into this 

mandala. It is a luxury to sit with a pen in hand

for an entire hour to see what comes out on the paper.

Spastic

Shhhh....I am chaperoning my daughter's first

slumber party and so have limited access to my stuff.

I did this sad little mandala on my iPad. I have very

little experience drawing with this tool. Does it show?

Drawn

I forced myself to be patient and draw this. I have had

a hectic week and sitting still has been very difficult.

Working on this yearlong project has given me the gift

of seeing the benefits of sitting still long enough, and 

doing enough work, to achieve a result.  The result

doesn't have to be perfect, or even very good.  It just

has to be complete.

For this swirly bit I used a PITT pen on smooth

bristol board.  

The Knitter

This was inevitable

I love to knit.  So does my cat.
