my floral inktober 2021

Justine, those are cute! I love inktober, but never do anything. LOL!!!!

@Dalis i only heard about it in 2020 randomly from DD who was more into calligraphy and bujo bullet journalling then and figured i'd give it a go last year after i did some of ScrapTember when we were either still in lockdown or just not willing to risk venturing out much yet - the official inktober prompts were scary/halloween-ish and quite open to interpretation i think, but mentally i needed simple and happy and more specific, like 'today just draw a tulip (or a daisy etc)', i don't think i've ever tried drawing so many different types of flowers! i think i've seen your AJ people/sketches on facebook - my people drawings are very much still stick figures!

@bellbird Maybe that's my problem, the prompts are "hard".

awwww George helped you!!! he was holding the paper still for you, right??!!!! hhaaaa!!!! but wow, Justine I love your drawn flowers! they are utterly stunning! I am super happy that you also scrapped about them, brilliant page using Nicole's goodies here and just love the colour choices you made as well!

@wombat146 @cfile he did hold the paper down, with his feet and whole body, right over the paint circles when i went to draw a few times - he helped in much the same way cats seem to like lying on keyboards - but mostly he likes to help by 'perforating' the paper, or in cases like this with paper that came out of a ring bound art paper book, he likes to 'refine' the torn notebook edge. OUr house always has sacrificial paper catalogues and magazines and looks like we throw confetti everywhere; but it's better that than eating cables or the wooden skirting boards/base boards. There's some chunks of the cornice at the ceiling missing in some places too #LifeWithBirds

@bellbird that is so funny Justine, thanks for the laugh! You should go into business selling 'naturally distressed' paper to artists! you'd make a fortune and keep George occupied and happy! Years ago I used to have cat that would 'help' me to sew, either by sprawling out all over the material I was trying to cut, or squashing himself into the shoebox that held my sewing tools so I couldn't get the scissors out!!!
