It is amazing how rusty you feel when you haven't done it in a while!Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10860888779743721034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14082946.post-37226802193210021622009-06-17T06:04:49.275+02:002009-06-17T06:04:49.275+02:00Very nice!

Not sure if my comment will show up as I got confused by the German version of Blogger. Sorry.<br /><br />Jeanette - Many thanks but I really am rusty with graphite. I do love it though. I sometimes think I should have stuck with the mechanical pencil to see how far I could have developed my skills. Can't do everything though.<br /><br />I've just picked the black currants but won't have time to sketch them because now the darn gooseberries are ripening too. All I seem to do lately is cook and eat rich deserts which undo all the good of Sketchercise!<br /><br />Jennifer - Thank you :)<br /><br />Lin - Hello! No sign of a package but there is that black hole in Milan that packages disappear into for many moons before emerging, usually with a customs fee attached. A package from you will be joyfully received though.<br /><br />Merle - Thank you for commenting on my drawing and so generously. I had a peep at your blog and am fascinated by your multimedia adventures. I hope to get back to enjoy some more. <br /><br />Vivien - Thank you :) I'm joining in your Tree Challenge - Not so much detail required in the leaves ;)<br /><br />Terry thank you too.Robyn Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01663604160297996421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14082946.post-56810035999882874122009-06-16T18:49:27.518+02:002009-06-16T18:49:27.518+02:00Great graphite result even if you think lack of pr...Great graphite result even if you think lack of practice made it harder to achieve.
