Well this has a lot to do with feet today, and it's the second post- *slaps forehead*.
I picked up the knitting and held it for a little while, fiddling with the stitches and counting them at least three times. Picked up some dropped stitches that came from the fact that five inch needles aren't really very forgiving when they hold knitting inside a bag that was tossed inside the Bounder and traveled with us.
After that I knit for a little while until my thumb hurt, then knit a little bit more. Then I took some snaps because, heck, we need to do these things from time to time.
The foot of mine is short, wide and a little chubby. That's the way they came to me and usually they behaved well and did everything ever asked of them, including posing for digital portraits and quick pencil sketching.
It's a badly sized drawing because I've forgotten about the effects of foreshortening on something viewed from a short distance and at the end of your own leg. heehee
Elle and I have a pact to draw every day, and this was yesterday's drawing. But the knitting is today's knitting. I don't know if I can stand to post every drawing but I'll try to go more abstract tomorrow. Tomorrow is going to be a pretty abstract day, since it will be full on heat. The doors will have to be opened for people to jump around in the attic and rip out the old and then install the new furnace unit. When the guy came to do the estimate, he opened that door and saw something he has probably never seen. It's the original furnace, a noisy inefficient little brute from 1959. A few more years and it would be an antique! It will never be "collectable". Lol!

You are multi talented.
ReplyDeleteYou are kind to say so, Wendy. I feel that I'd turned my hand to what made me happy, and sometimes you get lucky and can make a living. I would have liked to make a living but my sort of art isn't popular. It doesn't sell. So, I quit.
DeleteYou are very talented.
ReplyDeleteShould I start posted my quick sketches?
I just love LOVE to draw, and you know, as an artist yourself that "La Practica Creado el Maestro" So, Oh yes! Please do! If Elle had a blog we could have a small circle of daily sketchers going. It would be fun. First, I must make it a habit, as E says. So far, I've been running from heatm dust and the din but I promise more drawings soon!
ReplyDeleteI've been gone awhile because we couldn't use the computers for a few days, and the noise and heat made me take flight. Me, and the doggie, could stand just so much of people tromping around in the attic and in and out the doors. Wolfie takes his guard duties for the pack VERY seriously, as we know.
