There's something about drawing on an old book page . The paper feels good . It takes pen and ink well .and then there is the magic of the words ...
This is written at the top of page 322 :
"...completely to touch her at all . In the end nothing properly matched , except a certain sense of aloneness , which was only an ironic consequence .
She was left as she had been left then , without Phillip or the queenly Astrid of the Belgians either ,
occupying her own circle of space , in a reverberating echo pool of silence . "
It doesn't seem to matter much that I don't know the whole story of this book .... I just love certain phrases .
anyway > A print of this is in my Etsy shop
Oh and P.S. ..... yes I used Derwent Inktense pencil ...... the color is called ..... ' willow ' Oh I love that Inktense

Perfect! (words and image) I am going to have to give these Inktense a fair shake...will bring them to the beach house so I can really play with them. You do amazing things with them!

they are enchanting!
What fun! Have you thought of doing an altered book?
Oh those illusive Inktense pens! None of the art supply stores here carry them. When I see your lovely work I covet them. Must remember to search for them online. :-) You are SUCH an inspiration to me!
Love this page. Such a great idea. I remember the one you did in November with the lady and the strawberry. You are such a talent. Sigh.
She's so beautiful... you really have a way of drawing faces.. she look so alive.

Beautiful drawing, Sandy. I love that look too...I bought a bird drawing on an old book page on Etsy awhile back.
*Your Eartha Kit-ee doll is the best! That made me laugh.
