Knowing that following the F.F.A. Livestock Exhibit we would end up with at least 2 rescue goats, Mikala gave this tin welcome sign to her parents for Christmas. It now stands near a prickly pear cactus in the front yard of the farm — too cute not to draw!
I drew this with the 2 Kaweco Liliput fountain pens shown to the right of my sketch. Both are loaded with the new short cartridges from De Atramentis, one Document Black and one Document Brown. De Atramentis Document inks sold in bottles are always water-resistant, but the Document Brown ink from a cartridge bled when I added watercolor — even though it was a full day after the ink lines had time to dry! The Document Black in a cartridge resists water just fine. Curious!
Before church, we returned a friend’s trailer borrowed for moving to his workshop. As he got back in the truck, Bill handed me the clover leaf I drew in the upper right corner. It has wee purple hearts on each leaf section!
