It's like riding a bicycle

It's been years since I've used a Dixon-Ticonderoga #1. Just sharpening it was an experience... I sharpen my colored pencils with an exactoknife, but I wanted a real point on this, so I used a little plastic pencil-sharpener my mom has. I didn't break the point, which says I still remember how...

About the sketchbook: Oh. It's that sketchbook. It pays sometimes to flip through the pages -- this is the one that has (among other things) the pencil sketches and color tests for the Changeling game buttons, including the Celtic knotwork border; the rose-briar ankh which was pilfered for use in a local Vampire LARP I wasn't even in; the sketches for animatronic full-size wings I've never had the money to build; the original Monarch butterfly pencil-and-ink which was scanned and put on my website; and notes on origami figures to include in the collection I still haven't finished making. It's half-used and has things that are almost a decade old. Talk about your time warps.

I'm glad I found the ankh, though. That's something I really don't want to lose -- it's probably one of my finest simple pieces.

Next time you come over remind me to show you my wings. They are a bit tattered and need some mending, but I designed them myself. They're not really finished, just kind of a prototype, and they were a rush job to get done for a weekend event. They almost made it through the weekend, but the wear and tear on them just stopring them at my parents house was pretty bad. I'm rambling. Anywho, yeah, if you want... remind me.

On a different note, I hope your feeling better.
