big bug
ALT: water-soluble crayon, mostly brown with black lines. I mean, it really could be a close-up picture of a bug. there are definitely legs, 5 of them, and even a couple of little deely bopper antennae. maybe it’s eating its way through a chunk of wood, so all the brown texture.
whine
ALT: water soluble graphite and crayon, abstract. curvy lines, something that looks like an eye giving a solid roll on one side, under some streamer things blowing straight out. on the other side a sort of hose with a complaining sort of opening. but the colors are soft shades of blue, red and green, and the lines are relaxed not agitated.
nestled
ALT: crayon and pencil drawing, abstract. a black-and-white shape nestles between green pine-tree-like shape and a re and yellow spire by blue edge. a little pair of triangles, red and blue, huddle in an opening in the red shape. I don’t know. maybe a campfire by a lake. you decide.
leverage
ALT: ink drawing, very fast and messy, depicting my afternoon recreational activity, moving a heavy chunk of brick chimney all by myself with a long crowbar. Some people just know how to have a good time.
rock and rain
ALT: crayon drawing, sort of abstract, but it really does look sort of like a boulder sitting on flat ground in a dark atmosphere full of parallel diagonal lines that certainly could represent a heavy rain. there are also some pale blobs in what would be the sky – maybe more rocks, but floating? or odd exclamatory bits of light.
after myrtle
ALT: crayon drawing, close up of a blue flower with simple dark green leaves. it’s not anything like a botanical drawing, but has some resemblance to the vinca I saw blooming on my morning walk.
aeolian strings
ALT: crayon. abstract, decorative. four vertical lines the length of the page, interwoven with playfully breezy curls and curves. blues and pink on a pale spring-green background.
horserpent
ALT: crayon and ink drawing of a creature that is horse-like, albeit with improbable bends in the legs, and it has a neck and head that look rather more like a snake. But with ears. It’s mostly drawn in blues and greens, with black ink dashed on top.
scent memory
ALT: crayon and graphite drawing, abstract decorative, with wavy lines, spirals, viney leaves and soft colors.
And what I actually spent most of my time on, another darn star:
ALT: a 6-petal flower of yarn and embroidery floss woven and crocheted over a pipe-cleaner framework. The colors are graded shades of blue, but my scanner doesn’t like to reproduce that turquoise shade, so it looks like there’s more purple and teal than in reality.
not in my garden
ALT: water soluble graphite and crayon. imaginary plants blooming.
