I’m back for our weekly blog hop care of Miss Julia at the Stamping Ground.
I’ve been trying out drawings to do a line and wash painting of a cabinet of curiosities and have reorganised my desk organiser to accommodate a set of Derwent Linemakers, in the middle, just above the chewing gum.
When I’ve chosen them, I’ll draw a cabinet of curiosities like this one, and draw/paint them in.
It’s a slow project but I’m enjoying it.
I’ve just finished another, my cardigan:
Pockets, 3/4 sleeves and my choice of colours.
All done with Bella’s help - she sends purrs to you all. She’s working hard as you can see 😹
Take care and happy WOYWW
Hugs

ooh, your line drawings are good.. that will be a great project, look forward to seeing more. The finished cardi looks fab!! Happy WOYWW Helen #1
ReplyDeleteThat cardigan is gorgeous, love the yarn you used. Can't wait to see the finished cabinet. I did a 3D one some years ago. Purrs back to you too. Wishing you a very happy woyww, Angela x7x
ReplyDeleteMorning Lynne! Like the idea of your drawing project, I wonder why the chinese sages were so hard? Great cardi and I love a 3/4 sleeve, everything is always so long on my little arms. Hugs to Bella, she's a super star. Have a great week, love n hugs, Cindy xx #10
ReplyDeleteWhere to look first! The cardi turned out fab, love the colours, although no 3/4 length sleeves for me! The CofC set up looks like it will be fun to draw and paint. Can't wait to see it. And Bella - so sweet and sleepy. Love the eclipse funnies. How timely, of course!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW!

Why oh why is there always a "Failure to publish?”
Still only making quick visits. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #13
ReplyDeleteFabulous cardigan. Your curiosity cabinet project sounds interesting- and difficult! Happy WOYWW. Angel #4
ReplyDeleteI love your start to the Cabinet of Curiosities! It made me remember that I have one of those and I should use it and fill it up. Your sweater is gorgeous, I love the colours! And isn't it wonderful when Bella helps by sleeping, and not chasing after the yarn! The eclipse funny is funny! Have a wonderful week, Lindart #15
ReplyDeleteYour cardi is beautiful -well done! I love your drawings- what a great idea to do your little curiosity shelves. Perfect. x x Jo
ReplyDeleteWell done with the arid, it's really great, and even between the two photos on your post the colours look really different, so I bet irl it's even more vivid! Love your preps for the Caninet of curiosity , Ithink portraits must be v hard. Love the rendition of the Love Spoon, really clever. I really like the Linemaker pens, they are a bit like fountain pens to my mind, even after only a couple of uses they feel as if no one else should use them, and in particular I think the nib develops an angle that only one hand ca n make!
ReplyDeleteGood organising for the things you use most. Super line drawings too, love the horse. I have a whole cabinet of such items, the things we collect eh! Still awaiting bulb delivery for lamp. Hugs BJ#6
ReplyDeleteWell, you don't do things by halves, that proposed piece of artwork is one heck of a piece. I am sure, however, that you will master it. It sounds a lovely project and your line drawings are excellent. I do like the owl.
ReplyDeleteNever used the Derwent Linemakers, I have a thing about pens like other women have about shoes so no doubt I will be looking out for them next time we are in the area (Keswick).
I am amazed at just how hard Bella works. All cats in fact.
Hugs, Neet 12 xx
