Pelican in watercolor

Well, I tried. I didn't like the paper. It didn't absorb the color very well. All watercolor paper is not created equal. Anyway, I was digging in my art supply drawers last night and found some inks that I had bought ages ago and have never used. They look like this and I'm not even sure if they make them anymore. Each box and the ink bottle inside have a little painting on them and they're like little works of art themselves. Like I said, I've had them for years, and fortunately, they still seem to be good, so I'm going to try them. You're supposed to use them with distilled water, so I went and bought a bottle this morning. It's great to have my car back! I actually painted my pelican on my drafting table. I haven't used my table in ages as it usually has a cat bed and a cat on it. I just thought this morning, as the cats were in hiding anyway (yes, I vacuumed), that I would take back my table for the time being. One of the cats came out of hiding while I was working and just sort of looked at me and then plopped down on my spot on the couch. It was like "you took my spot, so I'm going to take your spot."

Edited to add that I'm baking more bread. This one is honey wheat with Craisins. I wish it would hurry up and get baked!

Edited again to ask what you think of my new blog template? I was getting tired of the old one. I do see that I should make a new banner that will fit the template, but for now I'm going to keep the old one. And I would like to change the name of my blog, as well. I was just being silly when I created this one. I'm just trying to come up with a good name.
