Finally a new drawing...a touch of summer on this winter's day...dreaming of hummingbirds - This little ruby-throated humming bird is drawn with Prismacolor pencils on art board treated with Color-Fix then touched with a bit of turpentine to "melt" the color pencil. "Hummingbird's Flight" is 5x5 inches.

New ACEO
Here's another ACEO...Graphite and Micron pen on Stonehenge paper, 2.5x3.5 inches. I'm enjoying this technique of combining the graphite with the Micron pens...I think it give the piece a soft look. Need to think of a Name for this one....

Tangled Christmas Ornaments
Ho Ho Ho....Tangled Christmas Ornaments...did these on little wooded forms I picked up at Micheal's - painted them white and then tangled with Micron Pens - used glitter pens for the color - scan does not show how sparkly they are. I'm going to tie them to my little bags of cookies I give out.Note: I sprayed them very lighty with a glossy fixative...you have to be careful as too much will run the color glitter pen, the black microns handled the fixative just fine. Several light coats should do it. I also brushed one with Mod Podge (after a light coat of fixative) which gave it a nice smooth feel.
