I started with 4 different teas and made a concentrated brew.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3800/2068/1600/TeaGrid.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3800/2068/320/TeaGrid.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />So then I did an old english tile design and painted it with the tea stains. The green tea was most disappointing as it produced just a hint of pigment. Maybe next week the topic will be beets and I can REALLY go to town.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3800/2068/1600/Tile.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3800/2068/320/Tile.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Thanks for looking.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20574508-114100575134306186?l=buniblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Chrissyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15004903073844566783noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20574508.post-1140267079890396022006-02-18T04:48:00.000-08:002006-02-18T04:51:19.923-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3800/2068/1600/Songbird.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3800/2068/320/Songbird.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Songbird.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20574508-114026707989039602?l=buniblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Chrissyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15004903073844566783noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20574508.post-1139364076711732572006-02-07T17:55:00.000-08:002006-02-08T06:57:45.843-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3800/2068/1600/Chair.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3800/2068/320/Chair.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />This is my dining room chair. <br />I don't actually have anything inspiring to write about it. <br />It's a chair.<br />I sat in it.<br /><br />I should have drawn my couch as I spent so much time in it recently watching the BBC's North and South. It was so delicious to watch and Mr. Thornton is a bit of "Ooh, yes please."<br />"I daren't believe such a woman could care for me."<br />I'm in love. I could care for you!<br /><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/northandsouth">http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/northandsouth</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20574508-113936407671173257?l=buniblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Chrissyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15004903073844566783noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20574508.post-1137966689938117192006-01-22T13:42:00.000-08:002006-01-22T13:51:47.496-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3800/2068/1600/Cat-apult.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3800/2068/320/Cat-apult.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />As you may have guessed, I'm really not a fan of cats.

I couldn't think of anything this week.<br />That's not true - I thought of a million things and then couldn't seem to get it together enough to actually do a whole illustration with it. Ah well.

I must have been going through a poppy phase at one point. But I liked the sketch and thought I'd put it up here.
