crocheted hats

Based on Kirsten pattern, more or less. http://www.allfreecrochet.com/Hats/Kirsten

It's been very cold here, 2 separate times of multi-day below 0 F weather so far this year. I used 1 strand of regular acrylic yarn in each hat. The pink hat had a strand of wool yarn while the others had this fuzzy "natural" blue yarn.

Some Sketches from Milwaukee Sketch Club Reception at Clement Manor 1/9/14

Got to sketch a brother and sister using conte crayon on charcoal sketch pad. No drawing board. I sat at the same table as Roger, an Excellent Artist. Lot of fun, talking and joking around. I kept making the models laugh. Told them I was copying Rogers pastel drawings. Not! He's really good.

Pastel Portrait 12/17/13


Portrait in Marker 11/26/13

It's been a frustrating year to schedule in painting and sketching time. Thank God for Milwaukee Sketch Club so I can keep my hand in by practicing.

This is an experiment in marker. I find marker a bit frustrating so I need more practice.
