"D" is for Dundee Marmalade A two-inch square done in my moleskine sketchbook with prismacolor pencils and ink.
I have a mustard pot that I keep colored pencils in too. I'm not starting a collection - two is good.
I stopped in at my favorite second hand store today and it was pretty sparse. Maybe I should step up my decluttering process and restock their shelves. I am wading through stuff I have been dumping in my little studio room. It's pretty comfy and a nice place to work and relax when I can get in it! I'm looking around right now at things that don't belong in here - a sweater that needs mending, two lampshades that don't have lamps, a box of silverware (?!), Christmas wrapping paper, a geranium that is not going to make it to summer . . . Why do we sabotage our creative spaces like that? Do we think somewhere in the back of our minds that we don't deserve a nice place to create? Well, we do!!! So after doing a sketch in our sketchbooks, let's work on our creative spaces. Whether it is making one or cleaning one, winter is a great time to do that.
I don't know where this little rant came from, but I'm done. I'm going to go eat that orange that's next to the Dundee pot.

What fun to think of something to draw from A to Z. My Aquarius II is all divided into 3" (sorry, 2" didn't work out) squares :-) Today I drew "McCormick's" DILL WEED seasoning jar. It's Hungarian Mushroom Soup for supper via a recipe I found from a restaurant in Midwest Magazine. Now to keep my eyes open for something that starts with "E". I think I just found it....EYES!poxy
