It's time for another craft night with the girls. This time we're making Halloween Pokes. Here are just a few from Pinterest we're using for inspiration.
Check back tomorrow to see what we concocted!

INKTOBER DAY 4
Another day, another acorn!
I love these things - they just don't have a bad angle!
It's not too late to join in with Inktober. Just do a little ink sketch of anything, and post it with a hashtag. Be courageous!

Cinderella Pumpkin Night
The colors, the deep grooves, the shape of Cinderella pumpkins are beautiful. And expensive!
So, my group of willing ladies and I are going to give it a shot. We're going to make our own Cinderellas and ours will last forever! My plan is to use canvas drop cloths for the shape, fishing line for the grooves, and grapevine for the stems.
Check back in a few days to see our masterpieces!

INKTOBER DAY 3
INKTOBER DAY 3
Today, a bundle of berries I found on a shrub at the coffee shop. The colors are so beautiful, it was hard to stick with the Inktober guidelines and use only ink. Maybe another shot using watercolor is in order?
And, these days I'm loving drawing acorns so now to hunt down oak trees to find unusual specimens. The challenge is to find the ones that made it to the ground in one piece before the squirrels get to them!

INKTOBER IS UPON US
INKTOBER
"Every October, artists all over the world take on the Inktober drawing challenge by doing one ink drawing a day the entire month. I created Inktober in 2009 as a challenge to improve my inking skills and develop positive drawing habits." - Jake Parker
Day #1
Day #2
What a fun way to go into fall! Small ink drawings are quick and satisfying. After a wonderful summer full of gardening and outdoor activities, fall is the perfect time to nestle in and pull out the ink bottle and nibs!
Today, a walk to find seed pods and leaves . . . and a video I've posted before. This was one of my mom's favorite songs. Melancholy, but so beautiful!
