Doodles

I coloured this while I waited at Victoria Hospital in London Ontario while Anthony was having his leg looked at. This is basically just pen and coloured pencils.

Herbunculous

Herbunculous is a string doll that hangs from our rear-view mirror. Anthony named this doll and he made up a whole back story to go with it. Of course, I cannot remember what that is, now that I am wanting to write about it.

It is really cute. We actually have 9 of these string dolls dangling from our rear-view mirror. They are all different and Anthony has named them all and given them all stories.

This was created drawing with my Lamy pen, then I used water colour and markers to add colour. I enhanced it a bit with the digital manipulation tools at Picnik.com.

Anthony and I went for a date today to Chapters and had a Starbucks' treat each. I had a berry chai infusion tea and a lemon poppy seed cake loaf and Anthony had the new coffee blend and an oatmeal cookie. It was a lovely afternoon.

I messed up the saying on the back of my coffee cup. This is what it should have said:

When I was young I was misled by flash cards into believing that xylophones and zebras were much more common.
-- Amy-Elyse Neer (Starbucks customer)

On Anthony's cup it said:

The manual arts have always taken precedence over the fine arts. Remember somebody had to build a ceiling before Michelangelo could go to work.
-- John Ratzenberger (Actor)
