On Good Paper and Equinox
I scanned a couple of drawings I did. The first two that I did on actual paper--not in a sketchbook!
I started the leaves drawing, below, at the first official ApeGrape meeting, which was a great success. We ate for a while at first, but eventually did art too! I started this drawing then, and finished it up a couple days later. I thought it would be a vertical drawing, but I liked it horizontal once I got it into the computer.
I did the next drawing a while ago but never scanned it until today.
I had wanted to do a larger version of the pointy flower texture I'd done in a sketchbook. I'm not sure I was as patient as I could have been while do this drawing, so there's a lot of overlapping of lines that aren't supposed to overlap. I keep thinking about adding color to the background, but I'm not sure if it needs it.

I've still been hand washing a lot of dishes. We were supposed to get a new dishwasher on Tuesday, but when the guy got here, we found out that the machine was damaged. :/ The new one's coming on Saturday, and I hope it gets installed!

Spring starts tomorrow at 7:44am. I like this tidbit of information from a National Geographic article about the equinox: On the Northern Hemisphere's vernal equinox day, a person at the North Pole would see the sun skimming across the horizon, beginning six months of uninterrupted daylight. A person at the South Pole would also see the sun skim the horizon, but it would signal the start of six months of darkness.
I was all set to try balancing an egg on end tomorrow, but apparently it's just another urban legend. I'm very disappointed.
