Not the original ink but absolutely love this old Sheaffer ink bottle (given to me by a friend). Also very difficult to tip over! I'd love to get more bottles like this for my dip pen ink too!

If you are a musician & visiting Adelaide, do come & visit the Westside Blues jam at Croydon & Kilkenny RSL every Wednesday night.
Here's me having way too much fun at a recent session!

Trying a "less colour" type of sketch with pens & watercolour pencils.
Trees in Adelaide parklands.

Lots of expensive & beautiful fountain pens out there but I'd like to put in a word for the humble Jinhao 992. The workhorse of people who like to draw with fountain pens, cheap, works & never requires more than the occasional clean.

I'm using these (from Ali Express) for my pens. Mainly used for drawing so I need portability & keeping them held firmly in place. Inexpensive & come in different colours so you remember where you stashed a certain pen! 😃

Our locals. (Really doves but very close). My husband gives them some seed in the mornings so they wait patiently!

So here's a funny post from the Betoota Advocate, and underneath is the usual annoying crap from Meta which entirely misses the point of the post! I've tried everything to get rid of it but still it appears....
Oddly enough, never on FBook adverts. Probably because it's stupid.

Just starting on acrylics. Still feel a bit like painting with toothpaste but I'm learning to live with the goop & mess!
This is from a friend's photo of a beach in South Australia.

Started making some greeting cards using the spotted doves in our garden - they have such goofy expressions & just cry out to be drawn with silly hats!

The earth seems to be heading into WWIII & it might be a good time to remind ourselves that we live on one tiny fragile planet. We are that little spark at bottom right. Maybe just remember that fact...

Hmm. There is a precedent for that sort of act.

No one turned up to our weekly art session so I entertained myself drawing "plant portraits"!
