Dogs In Waiting – Curly Dogs
Evening Skies
The warm summer days have brought us the most lovely evening skies. Earlier this week I was lucky enough to be in our local botanic garden as the sun dipped into the nearby sea.
On Friday night, the setting sun lit up a huge bank of clouds in the eastern sky, and lit up our back garden and the suburb, transfixing us as this illuminated mass filled and moved across the evening sky. My kids voted it “awesome” – I agreed. Click images to make big!

Sharpie Sharpness
A while back my daughter and I had some fun playing with medium point Sharpie textas, vivid water based inks that I have had a for a long time, and heavy cartridge card. The cool thing we discovered is that if you draw the Sharpie lines first, the Sharpie ink seems to create a natural barrier for the water based ink when you paint in the squares – like the paper has absorbed the Sharpie ink and can’t absorb the other so you get very nice, crisp lines. Click on the image to make big and you’ll see the sharp lines with just a little bleed of ink. I like the effect.
