INKY FINGERS

 I refilled the fountain pen I use every day.  I cannot do this without getting ink on my fingers.  Oh, well.

NEW FUN STUFF

 I got a package from Jet Pens today.  I've been wanting to check out the Posca pens for a while.  They should be fun.

I didn't need another fountain pen, but I bought this Lamy Safari.  Apparently, I didn't read the description of the pen.  The Safari pen is made of plastic!  I had a very hard time getting the barrel back onto it after I had installed the converter because the plastic parts were bent outward.  I had to squeeze them back into shape, which wasn't easy.  I don't like cheap things, but I'll give it try.

There's also one of each color of the Micron Pigma Pens - my favorite.

DAY 11

The prompt for today's #30daysketchbookchallenge is "Wallpapers".

No wallpaper in our house, so I just googled it until I found an image I liked.  There are millions of choices out there.

I used my fountain pen with black ink.  Then used a dip pen for the gold ink.  I mixed white ink with the black to get a grey which I applied with a brush.  Then finished it all off with a watercolor background.

DAY 7

 Here it is, Day 7 of #30daysketchbookchallenge and today's prompt is  "Something Made of Plastic".

I love my cold Green Tea and always have a few empties in the recycle bin.

I used my regular black ink, but also added some green and gold inks.  I don't use them very often, so that was fun.  Then added a few splashes of watercolor.

DRAWN TEXTURES

 This morning was a zoom class with Paul and Suhita's Sketching PlayLab.  It was about drawing different textures.

SKETCHES

 I went up to Wallingford this morning to get an injection into my knee.  It will be nice to be a little more pain free for a while.

I sketched while I waited for my appointment.

Then in the afternoon I did a little more sketching of some stuff that came in the mail.
