An item on the Hunt was "sketchbook cover". I like this new Marker sketchbook. It is black with The Starry Night by Van Gogh on the cover. I haven't done more marker sketches. Should get with it. Well, I should get with all my art. Life has still been in the way. Getting better though.
Today I sketched at my desk in the Conda Sketch Pad, full size pages, so this is about half a page. Number 6 sketchbook cover - Marker sketchbook with a Micron 03
My niece sent me a few things Barbara (my sister that recently passed) wanted me to have. Some of the Christmas cactus that belonged to my Grandma Jennie. The main plant has to be 100 years old, wow. It is in a galvanized tub. Beautiful and blooms red blooms. I hope this one survives.
My sister also sent a couple of cameras that belonged to Mom. The old Brownie took such good photos as the negatives/film were so large. She had to put tape around it to keep the light out when she changed film. I love the cameras and Larry will have them as he is the photographer.

Nice sketch of the cover of your sketchbook. Love anything with a starry night theme. I can;t believe. that Christmas cactus has been going for so long. I guess the more it is shared the better chance it will keep going. I have one that I bought this Christmas. The piece that survived looks health enough but it all just one branch. The other pieces all dried. up. I'll have to read up about how to do a cutting and maybe I can get a second piece to put with it. Glad Gene is doing better. Keeping both of you in my prayers.
Thanks, Joan. It is an old plant for sure. I think it out lived the tub a couple of times. Maybe I can get my niece to take a photo. We just break off a stem at a joint with a few leaves and stick about half the leaf in the soil. Not too wet and they seem to grow. They don't need much water.
