Workbasket

 Workbasket

     I found the bunny baskets in a workbasket from May 1993.  Here is another bunny.  They are made from gallon milk jugs.  I need to drink more milk.  The inside can be filled with jelly beans or trinkets.

     Time to start decorating for Easter.  I, just finished, making this bunny out of a couple of milk jugs.  I have enough milk jugs to make one more.

     I discovered some, plain-Janner, shuttles that needed a little sprucing up.  The pink one has glow in the dark, fingernail polish on it.

Hummer

 Hummer

     I think I have a better picture.  Hard to take pictures of things when they have shinny surfaces.  Too much glare for the camera to focus on.  

    Paper:  Strathmore 400 paper

    Pencils:  Prismacolor Premier and Arteza Professional                             (feeder and background)

                  Faber Castell Polychromos (hummingbird)

    Marker:  Arteza Brush Markers (underpainting of the feeder)

    Reference:  Local male, calliope hummingbird at one of our                          feeders.




I like to look upon the process of a work of art, here is a short video of the process.

    Started another colored pencil drawing.  Yes, I'm still tatting.  I'm working on the next, two round of the doily and designing a complicated motif.
