Lots of character in that little face and tny smile :) and I love the jumper, it's like ones I had as a kid...

Oooh, interesting! I love the way you've suggested the shine of metal...

[vjezkova]

Oh wow - this is perfect to be able to draw a splash!!!

Did it boil over? The dark cloud suggests a recipe that could go awry if not watched carefully.

If the yardwork doesn't kill me, I shall continue Naarting. :^)

The *second* compost heap is now nearly as tall as I am. So tired it took several tries before my fingers remembered how to doodle. ;^)

Yay for compost heap!!!

And these are adorable - is the last one a llama, or is that just my llama love talking? :)

[entropy_house]

Yes! The second one is indeed a llama!

Llamas are wonderful in their way :)

I thought I might get more done, but at least one side of the border got coloured in.

I love the way the shone on the grey makes it all the more metallic, as old weaponry would be :)

That was a bit of serendipity that I'll try to use on the other parts, if it can fit. I have two types of silver writing implements. One's a ballpoint pen that if one angles the paper just right in the light glints a bit silvery. The other is one of those calligraphy-tipped markers. Its ink is a much brighter silver, but the tip is too big to do something small with and it's old and starting to blot unpredictably. So I just dabbed a bit on the larger sections of the staves. When I looked at the scanning result, I was pleased that that the marker ink had worked as highlights!

[vjezkova]

Yes, there is definitely that metallic shine, this is great!

Could make a lovely actual window, though I suppose the grey tones would be difficult. Love the wavy with the straight lines.

Maybe the "grey" could be different levels of opaque, untinted, glass?

Re: More recycling:

Yes, that would work. That would produce different shades as well I think.
