The DU Lounge

Been drawing my whole life. Pencil at first, some india ink, but then - I was given a rapidiograph. They are refillable fine line pens, and precursors to fine line markes. They're also called technical pens.

Colored pencils here, and there as a teen, then stopped. Picked back up in later '80s, inspired by someone else, for an illustration portfolio that never got any takers. Later, had to give them up as a steady thing (odd injury consequence). Then fine line black markers, particularly Sakuro brand.

A sort of "problem" is that the digital app of the past 3+ years let's me use color which I have found more enticing than drawing w black & white physical mediums. So I'm trying to get myself back to physical drawing.

Right now it doesn't look very good. You wouldn't guess my actual skill level from what I'm doing currently. It might just be a few months of re-practising will get me back to speed. Hopefully!

Then I make unique wire jewelry w, w/o semi-precious stones, waterpearls.

Yarn craft - knitting in my later 40's, crochet in my early 50's. I'm pretty slow on that, so small projects. Admire those who have the patience for big projects.

Read, watch science fiction.

Trying to get back into small paintings. We'll see.

Sorry for long post.
