Two of a Kind
Grant saw the dragonfly disappear through the hourglass ring. As a test, he tossed his baseball through. It also vanished. He continued to fling objects through: shoes, toys, erasers, spoons, bolts, toothbrushes, coins. Nothing ever dropped to the ground on the far side.
Tkrnkeee, on the planet Oringjinno, was mystified to find foreign objects appearing through the hourglass ring in his garden. He returned the favor by throwing small items through from his side, fascinated when they disappeared.
As galaxy-spanning pen pals, they sent bits and baubles to each other instead of letters, happily passing their years in distant camaraderie.

First Sign of Spring
For still being in winter, we are having warm temperatures. While in the back yard yesterday, I noticed that the ash tree has decided to wake up. Most likely we will have more freezes before mid-March. The only question is whether or not they will be hard freezes and burn back the early risers.
Mouse Ears
Mickey Mouse ears, that is.
Not My Shoe
Lesson 5 of my online sketch and watercolor class covers Shoes. Only in my closet, all I could see were black shoes, brown shoes, grey shoes, and running shoes so dusty the original bright colors were obscured. Hubby’s shoes weren’t any more exciting than mine.
I actually shopped at Goodwill just for this lesson. I kept in mind shape, texture, and color; I wasn’t interested in the shoe size. While I was there I thought maybe I could find some colorful cowboy boots.
No. No cowboy boots at all. Curses! Foiled again.
The subject.
The warm up exercise. A continuous line drawing with the Tombow pen where I discovered I have a heavy hand leading to thick, thick lines.
Let’s just say that New York won’t be calling me to illustrate their new shoe line for next year.
