Chain Maille

 Chain Maille

       A friend, gave me a book on chain maille and some some jump rings.  She had an extra book and used to sell the chainmaille jewelry, when she lived in western Washington.  Here is the first lesson on the "Idiots Delight" (Byzantine).   I had made the bracelet with bright aluminum jump rings.

Confirmation

 Confirmation

      We had two confirmands, this spring.  Here is one of the crosses.  Yes, they are from my favorite book by Lene Bjorn.  I used one strand of sewing thread to add a little color.

Color

 Color

     Here is the colored version.  These markers were a lot of fun.  Now to find another flower to draw.  The true picture is more vibrant.  I was having trouble getting a good picture with my camera.

Outline

 Outline

     I decided to draw one of my dahlia's from my flower bed.  The Chameleon set came with a duel, fine-tipped marker to outline the drawings.




This looks like something from an adult coloring bood.

Chameleon

 Chameleon

       My sister had given me a set of Chameleon markers for my birthday and my neighbor had given me a set of "toppers" for the marks and a marker case for them.  These markers are awesome!  The markers have a colorless blender attached to the marker.  This enables you to touch nib to the blender for a period of time to blend the nib color.  As you draw, the color is colorless and graduates to the color of the marker.  The colored "toppers" have the same effect, but with color instead of colorless blends.  I had to map out the markers and try a little blend in the process.



The case has three sections...front, back and middle section.  The middle is for your paper, but it also opens up to reveal all the markers/"toppers."
