reading in turquoise


Today I began a re-reading of Dorothy L. Sayers’ Lord Peter Wimsey series. I first read them several years ago as ebooks checked out from the library, reading them on my iPad. Now I have the illustrated Folio editions of the actual books. I grabbed the first book and my iPad, which I’m reading “Pen & Ink Techniques” on — and was struck by all the turquoise. So I sketched them.

Later, I saw the yarn I bought to knit a simple tank top, just sitting on the shelf — not turquoise, but it is a muted grayish blue. So I drew it as my daily ink drawing. (A down side of working on lightweight paper is that when I erase pencil lines, I sometimes wrinkle the paper.)
