Sticks and Stones

Would you like to bring the nature indoors? Here's a fun project you can do.  Gather a few sticks that have fallen from a tree.  Find a few small stones.  Place the stones in a vase.  Arrange the sticks in the vase.  Place your natural creation as a centerpiece on a table.

White Flower

I like to use black paper to draw on.  I drew this flower using white ink.  A good way to practice drawing shapes is by drawing a continuous pattern.  I used this pattern on the leaves and petals.  Gold and silver inks are also great to use on black paper.  Try these colors on your next drawing.
