The stockings were hung...

...by the chimney with care! Christmas decorating has been accomplished in my house. Now, we just wait impatiently for Christmas to arrive! I was pretty excited tonight to try out a new "toy" - a bamboo pen - for my 20 minute sketch. It was great, I love the variation of line you can get by holding it at slightly different angles. Plus, it has all the benefits of a traditional dip-style pen. Really great! It will become part of my regular rotation for sure. Bamboo pen (used with watercolor), 5 1/2" x 8".
