PATTERNS IN INK

The fun of a brand new sketchbook is trying to decide how to start filling up the pages.  Since so many of my students are working in ink this month I decided to create a cover page in ink using lots of fun patterns.  I also discovered a little, vinyl piggy bank that begged to be decorated in ink, too.  I purchased a porcelaine pen over the holidays and am anxious to use it to "pattern up" some dishes before I move on.

Meanwhile I am laboring away on this year's bookplate, doing a few Christmas commissions and starting to gear up to direct this year's murder mystery dinner theater.
