Hello, Everyone!  I have missed you terribly!   So sorry to be off and tad bit ill.   Yeah!  just starting back to really being me.   I am still shaky when I walk.   No Sticks for me anymore.  Never liked them anyway.  Always wore shoes that I trusted.   Preferred a thicker heel.  
Well, talking of sticks:   I ordered a magazine from overseas.  It is called Featuring Magazine.
I have issues: #1 and #2.   They have many wonderful artist and one particular I think you will
like and be Happy that she has been in the first issue of Feature Magazine.
Well:   Here is my first Inchie that I have ever submitted to show on a Magazine Cover.
Hopefully, it will go on the fourth edition of Feature.   Maybe in the future I will be
in the Magazine too.

Well, the top is the Inchie submitted and below is the way the original appears.
Ok!  This Blog is for Graphite Pencils and Pens.   Yes,  Bundled for the Snow! is  in Prismacolor Pencil.

Well, here are the views.   Yes, I used the Black and White feature to show as if it had been done in Graphite.

I have a new one on the drawing board and will upload tomorrow and you will find it in my ebay Store for sell.
I may even open an Etsy store too.

Food for thought.  Enjoy! 

Good Health and Good Rest to you All. 

A neighborhood Tree, at Starbucks 

Well, I need to update you on my Drawings and my stash of Pencils, Pens, Erasers and Sharpeners.  These are Blackwing All New. Well?

These Are All Blackwing Pencils 

Here is one of my favorite Pencil Drawings done at Starbucks in SwampScott, MA.  I have a large Moleskine dedicated to my Neighborhood Trees.  I have many more Grand sights to show you.
Sorry,  However, the new Blogspot is driving me a little Crazy!  I will Mater the problems.

Graphite Pencils and Pens, I Use and Love!

 The Winter and Graphite Pencils and Pens  

This is the best time of the year to reacquaint yourself with your supply of Graphite Pencils and Pens.    It is time to begin the renewal of Life.    The activity outside has curtailed and there is more time to focus on the inside of ones dwellings.
We all need to stop, turn around and assess Our Possessions and decide which Possessions are the ones We use the most and which ones we tend to hang onto for another day.

This is where I will begin a year long blog of the Graphite Pencils I use and their Grades.   I have chosen to discuss, a long time favorite and the New favorite.
The Blackwing 602 and The Palomino Blackwing from California Cedar Products Company California Cedar Products Company.   I have been fortunate to find a few Blackwing 602 from a wonderful seller.   Make no mistake the Blackwing's I am have been lucky enough to purchase in order to make the first blog are not considered "Collectible".    To Me, however, they are jewels of wood coated in that sofe gray black and the golden ferrule with the beautiful Pink rectangular eraser that I first touched as a very small child.    There is just no getting over how I really loved and cherished that pencil.   This pencils may were more expensive  a #2 Yellow pencil.   I remember how people that it was horrible of my Father to let me have them.   I knew a good pencil.
Now, I am in love all over again with the Palomino Blackwing.
