A bit like knitting,
Twisting and turning.
Beige and brown
Knit one
Pearl one
Draw one….
Slip one over
Onto a digital screen…
Tessellations
Tiled again
Tessellation again.
Smashed
Playing again, filters, digital finger painting. I really like complicated patterns, but adding a filter of broken glass and a burst of light made it different. But I still see shapes that turn into things, in this case the blue squiggles remind me of someone playing a guitar? Or running? My mind is strange.
One tiny block of cheese!
My friend ordered some food on the Internet for home cooking. I saw what was in the box. There were various things:
Lots of herbs, chick peas, box of tomatoes, fresh tomatoes, sweet potato, garlic bulb, two carrots, baby carrots, two bags of potatoes, a shallot, two onions, green beans, a small pouch of honey, spices, an aubergine, an avocado, sumac?? And other stuff. Including bags of ice to keep two packets of minced meat and two chicken breasts cool.
There was also a tiny block of cheese, two inches by one inch by one inch, that made me chuckle…. Oh and a Partridge in a pear tree!
More snow
More snow due.
My nose? Blue!
If heating on
Money will be gone.
Winds a beast
From the north east
Cats have coats
So they’re warm as toast!
So wearing layers
To be lower payers.
One way to reduce
Carbon footprint use.
Slippers
My slippers are grey with stars on them. Today’s #bandofsketchers prompt was slippers or similar. I couldn’t get the photo exposure right because I was using shiny metallic pens. My foot up on the footstool trying to rest my calf muscle.
Bauble
Illustration idea for a Christmas bauble to hang off the tree. Just a doodle really. Using sharpness and blurring tools, a bit of a texture tool. I guess it would be nice to have patterns printed onto baubles but I don’t know how. Anyway I like it. I would call it an illustration? I guess these patterns could have the hues changed and be put on Christmas cards maybe?
Glasses
One of my Youdraw drawings, the website may open back up again next year. Currently they are showing some of the artists works on Instagram.
I did over 11,000 drawings on the site. The only tools were a thick and thin black pen and a thick and thin eraser. The canvas size was only about two inches high by one inch wide. But that simplicity gave the site charm and also a challenge to create interesting images.
Flat tyre
I just went out to go to choir practice. I happened to look at one of the tyres and realised it looked odd. It was flat. It had gone down overnight. I think I will have to get it down to the garage to get it checked (I’ve not had it for long). I hope it’s something that can be fixed. I have some tyre weld but when you use that it can be very messy when you replace the tyre later. I hope it will be OK tomorrow.
Staring
The dragon stared, it looked out at me, the forest had hidden it until I got close. I didn’t know what to think? Where was it from? How had it got there? Was it real, mythical, mystical or magical.
I stood quietly. Waiting to see what happened. I didn’t have to wait long.
It spoke!
Who are you human? Why are you here? Its questions were the same as mine. Then it said, how can you see me? I am invisible!
Of course I replied that it was not. That I could see it perfectly. Then it said I must be young, or believe in stories. Grown ups rarely see dragons!
That’s how we became friends. A chance meeting. We had many adventures. I might tell them one day.
Making a Zine
Sixty four pages (32 images, 32 text) later. More glue and parcel tape than I can cope with. The parcel tape is white and has fragile written on it in big red letters.
I started by taping 32 a6 cards together with parcel tape, then gluing down an image and plain paper alternating with each other. My measurements were a bit off so some prints overlapped each other. The result works but is messy. I wrote on the blank sheets vaguely telling a story but it needs doing properly.
We will see what happens.
