64 - They Call Me Mr. Pitiful
It was the song playing on my iPod when I made this... appropriate I think.
48-365 Douglas Fir
My mind has been on moving back to beautiful Oregon lately. One thing I miss most is the trees. It is the land of conifers and the tallest and most stately is the Douglas fir, Pseudotsuga menziesii, my favorite. I tried to draw it from memory today. Pretty clumsy. But, I enjoyed it so much that I'll be making a series of it. I'm gonna keep drawing it until I get it right and you lot will just have to accept my shortcomings in your letterboxes.
I did a drawing a while back with my fountain pen then dropped a drop of water on it. I complained that I wrecked it until I looked closer and saw the way the ink had bled and thought "hey, that looks really cool". I promptly dabbed the whole thing with water and now I'm a bit hooked on that. I also like dirtying up the white.

Envelope time - 5, 6, 7
I am very behind on my correspondence, so in conjunction with MailArt365 I figured I would make envelopes to use for my tardy correspondence. This time of the year provides good source materials, last year's calendar, and old magazines are great too.
These are from magazines.

#33 - Movie Night
I love Netflix. Greg is the Queue Master and I never peek to see what is coming next. It is always a surprise and always something great. We just watched Network, a movie both of us have wanted to see for ages. Loved it.
This is going to the Missive Maven. Her blog is one of my favorites and I'm always thrilled when I open my RSS feed and see that she has a new post. She is also my fountain pen guru.
#24 - Two Not So Great Tastes That Taste Great Together
The polar bear image comes from a box of candy cane green tea. I don't much like candy canes, or green tea, but somehow they taste great together.This will go to Rusty, who is a fountain pen aficionado, like me. I think I will use my Pilot Vanishing Point with Diamine Steel Blue ink for this postcard.
I'm up insanely early this morning. Green tea isn't going to cut it. I'm mainlining coffee.
