MISS KITTY CAME TO VISIT! 365/98

This shape was too good to not work within it.  How fun!  Now that Miss Kitty has shown up, Peggy when are you coming for a visit?

APPLEALING! 365/96

                                 
It's late!  I could have gone with "apple face"  "apple cheeked" or  "an apple today".  Any I missed?  Please share.

WHY THE LONG FACE? 365/94

Somehow my computer screen is distorted so the images I am working from are elongated.  It makes an interesting change that I want to work with for awhile before I resent the screen.

CHOP STICK DRAWING: 365/93

I decided to whittle a wooden chopstick down to resemble my favorite coffee stirrer drawing instrument. To my surprise and delight, I was able to get it as thin as I wanted.  I sharpened the more narrow end, too.  Now I have a very versatile stick to draw with.  I think I will sand the flat end a little to finish shaping it.  I used a small box cutter to do the shaving.  You can pick these chop sticks up at most Japanese restaurants, the kind you pull apart.
