it's written in the stars

This is an oldie, yes. But it's not on my blog, no. Until now.

I did post it, for about five minutes, about a year back, when I'd drawn it. But I couldn't bear looking at it. I don't why I disliked it so much back then. Well, apart from the composition - which I still feel is a bit contrived. I remember posting it and then deleting it later the same day.

Today, while I was looking through the Moleskine drawings that I'd saved to a pen drive, I came across it again. And, with a year or so between us I feel that maybe I was being a bit harsh back then. It's not too bad. It's not great. Not my best. But it ain't awful or owt.

So, especially as I have nothing else to post, I thought I'd give it another outing. Better owt than nowt. As they say up North.

  1. I wish I could get to your "not too bad"! This is just amazing, as usual.

  2. Ooh, I thought I recognised it! I thought it was great (still do!) so I had no idea you had deleted it - strange girl! ;)

    To answer your question re the programme, I did watch one part of one show but I just found it so depressing. That magnificent door handle with whistle...it was too much! ;) What did you make of it yourself?

  3. Well I like it, a lot. But sometimes we need a little distance from our own work to really see it.

  7. This is totally awesome! Matter of fact, I looked at my wife's jar of OLD buttons (and wooden clothespins) today, and it inspired me.

  12. Thank you all, folks.

    Yeah, I think it's usually good to have some time between oneself and a drawing. Especially when they take so long.

    Felicity, felt totally depressed by the programme. Is there nothing that can't be reduced to a reality tv show?

    Cheers, everyone.
