Day 4 - Scottish Thistle

 


It is 10 degrees outside and incredibly sunny. I woke up with a migraine and the incessant daylight hurts my eyes - it is reflecting off the snow brilliantly. I should be thankful for a sunny day midwinter. The hubs contends I am a vampire. (Where are my sunglasses?) 

Not wanting to lie about all day, however, I came to my studio to accomplish the daily sketch. I looked up at the cute, tiny amigurumi Scottish thistle I have on top of my book cubby and decided a thistle would be today's subject. I'm still working out the rusty parts and to foster my continued participation, not overworking anything to the point I get frustrated. This is a stress-free practice.

I shall now retreat to my dark chamber.

The mini cloche and clay pot were given to me long ago by my friend J. I added the thistle (purchased from a lovely etsy seller) and base. The whole thing is under 3" tall.

I come from Scottish stock and so respect the thistle ;)

Day 6 - Lizard

  The drawing of this lizard was interrupted by errands today but luckily I remembered to come back to it. The hubs walked in while I was working on it and said " ugh " (and actually flicked out his tongue much like a lizard)...which I suppose means that it looks real enough ;) ~January 6, 2022~ The Gallery for this Draw Something ( anything! ) Daily Challenge can be seen   HERE

The Heian Book Report

I've started re-reading my Heian-era Japanese Literature books (all English translations) and thought I'd write a few thoughts about each while it's fresh in my mind. I started with Hojoki and Tsurezuregusa . So, this is just my announcement, you can read a bit more about my  Heian Obsession here  and I will post all of the book reports to this page .

Maceo

Last night I lost my beloved Maceo.  I've had him since he was six weeks old and he just turned 17 on April 1st.  I miss him dearly already. Rest well sweet boy.
