These last two ink sketches seem to reflect the fact that I am finding the Christmas spirit!
Day Five's subject is a beaded ornament. For about 4 years running I made a beaded ornament (cover) for each of my children, their spouses, each grandchild, and many friends. Each year I would use a different pattern and base the beads used upon the recipient's favorite colors for that year. The color combinations were sometimes unusual but always unique and individual to that person.
The ornament I used for day five was one of my least complicated patterns ....
I have still not resorted to use of a pencil and eraser, but I have been sorely tempted! There was nothing in the rules about using a template, so I did resort to using a circle template in the sketch. A plain background was just too "plain" so I added different size circles and I think it rather looks like snowflakes or various sized Christmas lights. What do you think?
