I found this free pattern via brainylady. I'm super excited to finish it and see how much it stretches. Might have to have a contest to see how much can fit in there...I never thought I'd be crocheting hemp

Head #49 Jan 8, 2008 Originally uploaded by textrix This drawing was done with a black brush-point pen. my first foray into brush point, with not much experience with pen at all! I was so sure that the shading lines would be totally to odark and thick, but to my surprise... no! They do read as shadow. I'm looking forward to playing with this!

No, really. She really is. No, I mean it. Seriously. um, ok. Fool-proof way to

I worked a 12 hour day today, and am lookig down the barrel of a 10 day tomorrow, before a very full weekend. No drawing tonight, and maybe not some until Sunday. Instead, I bring you footwear. A NaBloPoMo favourite!I went on a search for boots on a (very) rare mid-week day off last week.
