got a pencil...& some patience?


Chances are the pencil will be the easier of the two to find.

Last night while blogsurfing I landed & lingered here : http://captainquasi.blogspot.com/ & revisited again this morning. From there I followed links that led me to lots of interesting e-locations. Following are some bits & pieces I collected along the way that I thought to share. If you enjoy them as I did, stop over to captainquasi - let him know - & poke around there for awhile on your own :) I have NO IDEA who he is other than that he is self described as "an interesting fellow" & from what I gather...he is true to that form :)

If you've got a pencil perhaps you can do something like this...

Pencil Art by Linda Huber

using the artist's drawing tips. One thing you should know... much of her work takes 20 - 80 hours to complete! Her website art gallery is a must see.

No pencil?! .... Well then --- perhaps you have some crayons on hand? They'll do fine too.

No pencil & no crayons either?! Well - how 'bout some chalk?....

Hmm....What great possibilities these simple tools pack when they're wrapped in the patience required of their potential!

and
patience is better than pride.
