In Gretchen's pocket, with apologies to Aya


I was up a good part of the night with insomnia and made several art pieces, always a bad idea to work when I am tired and without references. But in spite of all that, I liked this piece enough to make a small print for Gretchen's pocket.

It's called "Crash and Burn."

Round 3, For Gretchen's pocket


It occurred to me that the round three moles will be coming shortly too. Which reminds me, I got the ink for the printer today, so once I install it and print the ATC sized pix, I can mail my mole to Ammon. Soon.

Anyway, at lunch I made a quicky graphite sketch of hubby for Ballookey's pocket and at dinner I made another for Gretchen's pocket in round 3. This one is also 5 x 7 but done on Utrech Bristol. My husband (Keith) has very long white hair that's very curly and was wearing it out like the mane of a lion. Other than the fact that the bristol is stiffer, I could not detect a lot of difference in the quality of the paper. (Usually, I work on whatever is handy, and rarely compare results, but I am making an effort to learn what works best and what I like best, so I can make better purchasing choices in the future.
