Inktober 2023



Another Inktober creeped up on me so fast. With all the traveling I've been doing, I didn't have time to make a journal for the Inktober challenge. The very first Coptic Stitch book I made was sitting empty because at the time, I was too timid to write in it. No More.

I'm glad to hear you used your coptic stitch book. Hurrah for feeling empowered. And nice additions for Inktober too. I'm waiting for the fog to burn off. How about you?

I could possibly still play catch up.. hmmm.. Love your drawings and your unique take on the prompts... Hugs! deb

Such detailed work! Your lines are so clear and definite. A steady hand is a prime requirement for this. I've never done this kind of thing and admire yours.

It begins with a high pitched scream and then a little dance. And then I can work 😺

Gives me the shivers, too.

The fog burned off and I was over Teague's house for our weekly play day

CJ Kennedy said...

Still plenty of time to catch up, or just jump in and start and don't worry about days missed

CJ Kennedy said...

Thanks. You made it a two cowboy hat day for me.

Absolutely stunning work. You put SO much effort into these prompts. LOVE the path and the spiders.

Of course, I should have known. I got a Failed to Publish, so not sure when you will see this or any other of my comments to you for awhile.
