Finally a drawing I'm happy with. Like others, who completed this challenge, I found it difficult to find something yellow to draw. Then I realised the answer was under my nose!
I've run out of sepia ink. I have about seven empty pens. So until I get some more I've turned my attention to black ink. I've never really got on with black ink. I like black ballpoint but not ink. I don't know why. I love to see the work other people do with it. I think I like working in sepia ink because it's a lot softer than black. Black ink can be quite harsh and unforgiving. Perhaps it's the pens I'm using. Any recommendations?
It's my birthday today. Thought I'd get a post in before it's over. A pretty unremarkable day really apart from the rain. It has rained and rained and rained. I'm watching and listening to The Who at Glastonbury. It's raining there too. Wondering about what the next year will bring. Who knows.

I've been finding it really difficult to draw over the last couple of weeks. Or, more to the point, finding it difficult to like anything that I've drawn. Sometimes you just run out of steam - just like this bee. I think I'm starting to feel inspired again. I'd like to thank everyone from the Everyday Matters group, and everyone else on my blogroll, who provide me with inspiration on a daily basis.
This poor bee has been on the floor for sometime now. Days in fact. I kept on thinking I should get rid of it but then never getting around to it. Plus I didn't have the heart. This was Flower's (my cat) prey. She isn't big on hunting - actually I think this is the only thing she's ever caught. Well, with a name like Flower she was never going to be much of a hunter, was she? She doesn't see the point anyway not when she employs somebody (me) to wait on her hand and foot.
These are very lovely shoes. I like them a lot. They've never been worn though. They live in their box in the back of the cupboard. I think I liked the wood grain on the heel. I often find myself dressed like a tree (there's lots of green and brown in my wardrobe). But seriously, what was I thinking? I don't have the kind of job that you need to dress up for. I rarely go out! I probably couldn't even walk in them. They weren't even half price in a sale - so I don't have that excuse. Seemed like a good idea at the time. Know what I mean ladies?
So my friend Tim isn't the jewellery kind. Well, not your gold plated chain kind anyway - more of your wooden beads bought on a Goan beach type of guy. However he never throws anything away. This drawing was made from some chains that he collected as a child. Before the teenage years (that we don't mention).

This is really disappointing. The scan is awful. The original looks so much better. I painted the bell with some bronze ink and on the original it looks really good. It just doesn't work on the scan. It looks flat and the colour is very very dull. I have a feeling this post is really going to annoy me. It looks better HERE.
This is from my new Moleskine. I got another one to use as an illustrated journal. I wasn't expecting to post anything from it though, I thought I'd spare you that. Oh well, in for a penny....
