        Meimei, thank you for hosting! All these are very tempting. It is InkTober now so those who are doing one pen & ink per day, such as myself, are happy to see these.

                        Saw two that attracted me straight up. Gone back to foils for these. Will do canvas ones later.

                        So beautiful and delicate!

                        Your bird almost looks 3D, love the eye too.

                            Thanks Virginia and Christel. Did a quick touch up on the two.

                            Tidied up the beak and body shape.

                            Lawrence, what a lovely little chickadee done on foil! I’d never have guessed. Your house in the landscape is most excellent, too!

                                whoa guys, I wish I could work so fast! The artwork so far is stunning!

                                I always find buildings a little difficult!
