Smaller

 "Smaller than your hand" is on the list.  We have sketched many hands so this exercise seemed to me and easy choice from the list.  Over the years we have sketched hands, faces, eyes, noses, ears, etc.  We had items like sketching 5 poses of your thumb or hands open and closed, fists, and more.  I like having the model close to me.

Number 1, smaller than your hand - some little unpainted pots from Bolivia.  These were re-fired in the fire in 2011.  One has a paperclip on it.  This signifies that it was a Christmas decoration.  These and a few more have been in a bowl on the corner shelf.  Time to hang them on the tree again, don't you think?  Maybe I will put a red bow or bell with  each one.

Gene and I got the decorations down from the attic yesterday.  I will work on them a few at a time.  We don't put up much now.  No small children around.  We will mail gifts to the Kentucky bunch.  I need to get the package ready to go!

They are so tiny...can you imagine working on something that small? I keep thinking about getting my decorations out...but haven't done more than think about it. Although I did take down the wreath that was on the front door and replace it with our Christmas wreath.

Joan, you are right. I wouldn’t have the patience. We brought down the things from the attic. I also cleared my work table for wrapping.. Gene needs to frame a painting gift, too.

"Put a red bow or bell with..." Of course I read, "Put a cow bell with..." Sometimes my brain does not work with my eyes. Earlier, I read someone's name as Hamster, when it was actually Heather. Oh well, I do get tickled over my mistakes.

Ha, Bag Blog, a laugh for this evening. It would be fun to have tiny cowbells. :-)
