Wednesday, March 13, 2024 Workshop: A Round Bookcase, a Border and a Seahorse

I’m still doing the drawing lessons from the book I got for Christmas (50 Ways to Draw Your Beautiful Ordinary Life) at a pace of one per week. I usually just draw the example that’s in the book, but I drew our own table and one chair for that assignment.

I don’t know about you guys, but my beautiful ordinary life doesn’t include a wood burning stove or a round bookcase. In fact, having a round bookcase doesn’t appeal to me at all. The author’s bookcase is more for decor than for books. Bah! If you want to see what a real bookcase is for, come to our house.

I’m planning to write out a quote and thought it might be nice to make a watercolor border for it:

I promised you a seahorse and here it is:

I wish I could take credit for this, but it’s actually a puzzle that my sister gave me that I finally finished. Isn’t it lovely? I’m not sure what to do with it next – maybe I’ll glue it together and hang it somewhere.

I’ll be chucking this into the blog-burning stove in the morning.

    1. Well…I’m no expert on Hobbit furniture, but I guess it looks a little Hobbity. But when I think about how many books they must have, it still seems dreadfully impractical. But you may be right. It was a perspicacious observation!
