Inktober 2019 – Wrap Up

  I actually planned to share the rest of my Inktober drawings with you piece by piece, like I did with the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland, but realized that I did far too many drawings to do this in time before Christmas (which unbelievably is due in just a couple of weeks –

Follow The White Rabbit

“Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!”  Sounds familiar? 😉 These are the famous first words by the White Rabbit, a fictional character in Lewis Carroll‘s book Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.

Indulgence versus Restraint

    As I have often confessed here, I regularly indulge myself with baked goods or goodies how I like to call them. 😉 This month I´m happily exploring the wonderful world of scones. If you are in doubt how to pronounce scone the right way, here´s a funny little poem that illustrates how it
