Inktober

 

I had big plans for Inktober this year. I bought these markers to do some fancy things with the gelli plate but never got around to it. I was too busy with Socktober and Soaptober. 

I didn't ignore it completely though. While I was waiting for my lye to cool down everyday, I picked a prompt and attempted to do a little sketch of it then slapped some watercolor on it to hide my shame. On the long list of things I discovered I cannot draw over the years are owls, bee wings and trunks (I should have gone with elephant). I would have thought that I could have done a better job with weave since I have a loom sitting right here in front of me. Oh, well. There's always next year although I have noticed with horror that by looking at previous year's work that my eye hand coordination is deteriorating at an alarming rate.
