The ink proved not to be waterproof but I’m pleased with it. For my watercolour class tomorrow we’re starting a study of flowers in the style of Kurt Jackson. He uses a lot of recycled jars, like this one, below. 
My flowers will be:
My pussy willow was from a painting this time last year and it dried happily. I wanted the ivy to drape but it’s firmly up-sprouting.
I’ve also been sketching. It’s been 10 years since Terry Pratchett died so I’ve made a sketch of him.
I don’t think I ve quite captured him but I’ll try again.
There’s a huge set of video tutorials from Adebanji Alade’s The Addictive Sketchers Movement site so I could sketch happily forever more!
When my knee improves, I’ll be going back up to see my aunt. I spoke to her on the phone this week and she’s better since she’s been in the MacMillan hospice, eating and drinking well, and was able to have quite a conversation with me. The nurse said she still has some confused days and with her cancer, she’ll not get better, but she sounds more comfortable. Fingers crossed that I can get back up there soon. I’ve had an X-ray and have a consultation in 2 weeks.
I had the idea of making her a twiddle mitt/ cannula sleeve. When I was six months old, she bought me a teddy bear which I still have so I thought I’d put a teddy on her twiddler, though less battered looking than mine.
It’s surprisingly easy to make them look demonic though:
See what I mean?
Redone, and improved, they’ve multiplied😹. What have those teddy bears been up to?
They look happier now!
Bella loves to have her belly rubbed, too, and sends you all purrs.
And finally.
Happy WOYWW everyone. I’ll be round to visit after my art class.
As I mentioned last week, I’m uncomfortable with unsigned comments and they will be deleted.
Have a great week, all!

The canal boat is fabulous. you have a talent for this art, so pleased you found it. Look forward to seeing the flowers next week.
Good news about aunt, but what is this about your knee?
Hugs, Neet 2 xx
I hope you have fun painting those lovely flowers today, I like the Kurt picture, really beautiful. I laughed out loud at the full demonicness of the bear, didn’t quite see that on our call yesterday!! But the bellies are lovely and make them look squishy. So glad your aunt is more comfy at the hospice and I hope your knee improves quickly so you can get back up to Stoke.

Those bears! Love the flowers - and yeah I have ink like that too, not at all waterproof. Bah! I so wish Poppy was a belly-rub kinda kitty but sadly, not at all...
Happy knitting day WOYWW!

Lovely painting of a canal boat, plenty of depth. I hope you knee improves quickly. Happy WOYWW. Angela #10
Those funnies are brilliant this week but the bears had me chuckling too. They are fab. Good luck with the twiddle sleeve. I'm sure it will be much appreciated and I do hope you manage to get to see your aunt. x x Jo 🌈
I'm loving your funnies especially the John Travolta one and the teddy one. The canal boat turned out well and the little teds. Woyww hugs to you and Bella. Angela x8x
I'm sorry about your knee, I hope you can treat it effectively enough to go up and see your saint fairly soon. Good news about her response to hospice care, very reassuring. Your demon bear made me laugh out loud! Well corrected, love your little bear, how many stories he can tell! Your TP sketch is good, I really admire how you change be a go at anything instead of sticking to a particular genre. Brave!
Love those demon teddies Lynne. Meow to Bella - hope your knee is on the mend soon. I have unfortunately had to cancel the crop as the numbers would have made things too expensive. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah
What a lot to see this week! Love your narrow boat! Look forward to seeing your daffodils...
Happy WOYWW! Susan #13
