Thank you...keeping it loose is especially challenging to me. <br /><br />The dip pen was not as scratchy as others I've used in the past. It is an old one that my sister gave me; maybe being "lightly used" helps. <br /><br />It was a joy to use on the Strathmore WC paper, which may also be a sturdier paper than some I've used in the past. I'll be trying it out again soon! :DElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12304349794622823797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265499045292798444.post-42715442588056061542011-11-21T15:30:09.356-05:002011-11-21T15:30:09.356-05:00This reminds me of some of my childhood haunts!

It was damp and cold here. Winter is working it's way into our area. Fun to see the gopher hole along with some beautiful flowers.Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265499045292798444.post-47574091915115371482011-11-20T20:10:24.502-05:002011-11-20T20:10:24.502-05:00Sue - thanks so much!

I love being able to explore the natural parts of Florida that others may overlook. I hope you get a chance to visit some of our beautiful parks and preserves - you'll be here when the weather is gorgeous but the traffic is not. :) We will be sketching in the Fakahatchee Preserve again this year, see the Event tab for information if you are interested!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12304349794622823797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265499045292798444.post-58362858512496935192011-11-20T19:48:48.147-05:002011-11-20T19:48:48.147-05:00I really like the way you see and the way you tran...I really like the way you see and the way you translate what you see. DH and I are planning to spend the winter in the Naples/Marco Island KOA, starting after Christmas. I can hardly wait to see your part of Florida over the extended period.Suspinz: Dabbler in Many Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00147989465074989100noreply@blogger.com
