Snowy Junco
When I took this picture, this little sparrow was perched on this branch on a warm autumn day, but I imagined some snow and there you go.

Phenology Art
I went to a workshop that focused on nature drawing, and I decided to turn mine into a seasonal painting. October, done! I’ll wait until January until I revisit it.
Graphitint + Ink
I started using my fountain pen with black ink to add some line work to this sketchbook. In some cases, I gave up on adding any color at all, preferring the dramatic effect that ink brings to white paper.
Fifteen Years Blogging
How many can claim a fifteen-year old blog? Happy anniversary to this little corner of the web where I’ve documented all the arts and crafts I’ve obsessed about since 2006. Even with that strong blogging habit, at some point over the past year I slowed down on blog posts and increased Instagram posts. Instagram is easy and popular, and it’s all too easy to forget about writing. Recently, I decided I missed keeping up this ancient blog and it needed an update—and perhaps Instagram needs to go away. Long story short, you cannot control reels on your feed, and I found many objectionable.
So, here’s an update on the ol’ blog. I’ve not been as artsy lately, but I’ve still managed several sketchbook sketches…
I also sketched this large landscape using Derivan Liquid Pencil tinted with blue and yellow.
A quick pen and ink landscape…
And a still life on Pastelmat.
Here’s the question: Will this little blog still be here in another fifteen years?
