on not stopping

since i broke my wrist and can't really type, i assumed there would be no blogging either.  but i can't stop drawing.  here's my 1-handed version of joey challenge #174. 

following that is a 10-minute sketch of the incredibly bulky cast and sling i'm wearing. 

my previous post has all the tiles i've been sneaking in 1-handed since the break.

joey challenge 174. the main tangle is "asian fans" and the rest is my embellishments on the lovely be-ribboned string created by suzanne ng. this was a "finish my tile" challenge and if you look at her original, it's lovely all by itself. i used a rainbow lead pencil and graphite for color and shading.

ONE-handed????!!!! You must be kidding me. I need both just to draw a simple line. That brings to light who is the real artist and who is the would-like-to-be artist cum stay at home single dog owner. Your Asian Fans is absolutely gorgeous and the whole tile with the subtle colors is marvelous. I am so glad you took the time and energy despite the draw-back to participate on my challenge.
PS: your cast sketch could pass as a new tangle.

wow, susie, thank you so much, your original string with the asian fans was so beautiful i just had to use it. thamk you for the inspiration! i got a laugh out of your cast comment. it's a hot mess--bulky and all tangled with ace bandages going every which way. fortunately it's temporary.
