The continuing rain has turned my brain to mush and I can't think of a single thing to say.
I've been sat here staring at the computer screen and there's not one interesting thought that I can think of.
I'm boring myself rigid.
We spent the whole rainy weekend tormenting the kitten,
watching Doctor Who repeats, and drawing in our sketchbooks.
Maybe I should show you a little sketch I did of David Tennant with no clothes on ?
Hmmm, maybe not.
What about some sketches of other peoples work that inspires me ?...
.. and some softie sketches from Me and Molly..
I like the little bra that Molly's bunny is wearing, and I like it that the boy bear has a handbag.
She finished off by drawing her special guardian angels.
My Dad - Grandad Sweeties in the drawing - must be delighted that all his hair grew back once he got to heaven, he'd been as bald as a coot for most of his life.
Has anybody else got any sketchbook pages to share ? I'd love to see them.
It's lovely to see your workings and such very pretty ones too, my sketch book is full of Country Living inspirations too, I love that magazine. The Grandad Sweeties picture is so cute, I love the helpful pointer to the sweets.

I love all those sketches - and I wouldn't mind seeing the sketch of David Tenant with no clothes on - heehee!! I just started a journal project - except I haven't started yet because I can't draw and don't know where to start - better get something in the book soon as I have to send it on to someone else in 2 weeks!!

Wow. No, no sketching here. It is a sad sight when I do, but yours are wonderful! Should they really be just sketches though? How about hanging them? They are lovely! And the cat! Very patient!

I love your sketches! But that picture of your kitty is so cute! Reminds me of what my girls to do our dog.

Your sketchbook is simply wonderful! Such a work of art!
Thanks for sharing!!

Lovely sketches!
I wish you'd posted the Tennant ;)

Your sketches are fantastic. I wonder if I could do that? I'd probably want to burn them or bury them, they'd be so bad....but I think I want to try some. Thanks for sharing.

What wonderful sketches - I try to keep sketching but never seem to find the time but having seen your lovely little drawings has inspired me to have another try.
Now why not share the David Tennant...?

I love sketchbook snooping, thanks for sharing!
Mine aren't nearly so pretty to look at.

Your sketches are so inspiring. I haven't done much sketching for way too long, I think I have an episode of Dr. Who saved on my Tivo, maybe I'll have to try the naked David Tennant sketch myself tonight.
While emptier than I would like, I do really like the sketchbook I made myself: http://heylucy.typepad.com/heylucy/2007/06/a_sort_of_commo.html

What brilliant sketches. But I'm afraid I'm with the others on this one ..... you were the one who mentioned David Tennant so it's only fair that you share your 'secret' etchings!!

I always love your sketchbook peeks! If Iever actually draw in mine, I'll gladly share a view!

What fantastic sketchings! That ugly duckling is so cute!
Posted by: Rubyred | July 16, 2007 at 11:02 PM
Great sketches! I love drawing pictures of other people's art too (OPA)! It seems to solidify ideas of what you like yourself. It's something I've done on and off since college--thanks for reminding us!

First let me say that I think it would be FANTASTIC to make some softies in the style of those drawings of Molly's. I love how simply kids can draw sometimes. Second let me say that you have given me new inspiration (not for myself- although I'll have to pull out my sketchbook now!) but I think that those sketches at the top are a great idea for my (school) kids to do next year. I always struggle to find something for them to draw every week. Maybe I can just have them pick 1 or 2 objects every day, draw and color... it's a beautiful look! Thank you so much for the inspiration!

I think I'll ship my kitten to you so you could teach her a lesson (or two). PLEASE feel free to email me the naked sketch of David Tennant! (You were right about me not missing Eccleston way back when)...Looks like a fun weekend, in spite of the rain.

Wow! Those are great sketches. My favorites are the pear, the peas, the feather, and the first cute little girl with the pig tails.
Posted by: Steph | July 17, 2007 at 05:58 AM

Love your sketchbook pages! Its always fascinating to see the initial creative workings of others. Ooh, I've been lurking here for ages by the way, but you've lured me out....so hello! :-)
Posted by: Jade | July 17, 2007 at 12:17 PM
No pages to share but you have inspired me to have a go myself ... those are really gorgeous sketches!
Posted by: dottycookie | July 17, 2007 at 01:03 PM

Love your sketches and Molly's are fab. Just wanted to say thanks for making me smile when I saw what you'd done to your poor kitty - it's brightened up another grey day here!
