It's cold outside and my hair is still wet. I am hoping that it will be mostly dry before I go outside. I don't like to go outside with wet hair. My rhinosnowman has no hair, so he doesn't have to worry about having wet hair outside. He is made of snow anyway, so he cold is to his benefit.
I almost forgot that I had signed up for an ATC trade that started on January 1st. Until this morning, I hadn't done an ATC in ages. For anyone who doesn't remember me talking about ATCs before, they are artist's trading cards and they measure just 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches. Yes, they are teeny tiny. This ATC trade is an Old Master trade, meaning that we have to make ATCs that are copies of or inspired by Old Master's paintings. This morning, I started a copy of a close-up of the face of Venus from Boticelli's Birth of Venus. Unfortunately, all of my .5 mechanical pencils appear to be not working and I'm pretty sure I left my last good one up north. Mechanical pencils go awry quite easily. I can't advance the graphite in any of my .5s and I have a bunch of .7s that are having the same problem. I think they must get clogged up somehow, but I haven't figured out how to unclog them. I think they're meant to just be disposable.

It is cold outside. not good weather for wet hair but is good weather for snowmen--rhino or otherwise. I am glad you are going to be doing the ATC trade again and hope that with your new scanning system we'll be able to see them here before you send them to far off places! Keep drawing, stay warm, spring will come in a few months...
