Inktober Catch Up and Sketch

Luckily the Inktober prompt, tasty,  and the Scavenger Hunt prompt, apple, could be combined to one sketch again.  Lucky me!  It helped me catch up after missing yesterday's sketch.

Inktober Day 24, dizzy - a lack of enthusiasm and ideas prompted the poor dizzy gal.

I sketched in the big book and both sketches are on one page.  I used Sharpies which may not technically be ink, but since you can't change it, I'm calling it ink.  The Sharpie company does separate markers and pens ......but.......  I bet they have the same ink.  https://www.sharpie.com/

I don't use Sharpies very often because they soak through paper making the backside not usable for another sketch.  In the big book I'm using both sides of the page ... well, not today.

The backside of the paper left a ghost that is pretty identifiable, don't you think?

Here is the items I used for ancient in the previous post.  I thought the basket was made that way, but after a good look, it seems the weight of the pottery pushed it over.  It is perfect now to view the shreds of pottery.  The jug from Peru was black originally and is now a dirty black.  The tool or weapon was broken in the fire, too.

I took the day off yesterday, yet again.  I went to a luncheon with the theme, "Inspire, Empower, and Thrive:  Our Stories.  It was presented by the Family Crisis Center here in Bastrop.  The event coincides with Domestic Violence and Awareness Month.   It was informative and  fun to see people I knew and have a good lunch catered by John Chabot.  (Great Chef)  Gene and I were volunteers at the Center for several years and had a great time helping with their fund raisers.  You can put a search up in the left search bar for my blog and see the things we bought and donated.  Our current Christmas tree is from one of the Festival of Trees after the fire.

Nice sketches. I don't use Sharpies for that reason...too much bleeding through.

Thanks, Joan. After I finished that sketch I found some Micron colored pens. Hope I remember next time.

I can relate to the dizzy girl
the Sharpies are ink, alcohol ink (plus a few other things) so they count :)

Jennifer Rose, ditto! Thanks for the affirmation on the Sharpies!
