For years and years I have drawn almost exclusively with a rapid o graph pen. Over time I have become tired of the expense an hassle with the pen. This week, a vacation week, I have been using a baron fig squire roller ball pen. I am not totally sure I like the look of the wider line but I stick with it for more pages and see if it can be my regular drawing pen.

Lines
I have been working to capture a particular line pattern l have seen on some creative instagram posts. I have wanted to develop my own take on it. Since I started this post this Morning I have run some errands and prepared four vanity drawers for painting. So back to my note book and coloring book.
These are the two Images are samples. l think that the ballpoint pen lines are more successful or at least more what I wanted than the sepia fountain pen lines. l keep working on finding I want what I want with the fountain pen.

On the opposite page is a drawing around a spirograph image a stencil shape. l have been using this colouring book as a sketchbook. Finding ideas and ways to blend my work with spirographs and stencils and line work.

Gift
Hand carved wood vessel |
The gift of the pandemic has been a wish come true. I can stay home all day everyday. Unlike so many I still have a job and can work from home. I am so grateful that it has slowed the pace of my days. No more crowded bus. No more forced social interaction with co-workers. A visit on the zoom meeting is enough. It has given me time to meander through projects, space for thought, and some peace. I pray that this is my normal.

colouring
It has been weeks since I added a post. I have been spending a lot of my creative time colouring. These are pages from a johannabasford book. I am using a four colour ball point pen.
I have been working from home these past months. Recently there has been a subtle push for us to return to the library, students could return in a few weeks. The risk seems too high as cases spread in Ga. Safe at home between my pages is best.
