Magpies
One for Sorrow
Two for Joy
Three for a Girl
Four for a Boy
Five for Silver
Six for Gold
Seven for a Secret
Never to be Told
I'm starting a series of large (ish - 11" x 14") drawings in ink and copic based on that poem. My next tattoo will also be a Magpie - maybe I should get seven of them hidden all around my body. it feels really, really good to be doing real art again, more than just doodles. This is also the first time I've given myself a a project and done it, maybe ever. It's really encouraging. Maybe I can make it as an artist, after all.
I had a truly terrible webcam photo of it up, but it was not worth it x 1397497. So I took it down again!
