Congrats on over 5,000! I was here at just under 200 wondering way there wasn’t many - many more viewers. I loved watching the progression from charcoal to painting. I have a bit of a childish cartoon brain and around the 3:57/4:00 minute mark I saw an alien with a ponytail 😆. Once seen it couldn’t be unseen. Then it morphed around the 5:25 mark and became vase and tulips again. Magical. I’m looking forward to seeing the new sketchbook cover next week. Have a lovely week. TFS

Hi Gaynor...I love the idea of you taking the remnants out of your fireplace to draw with. One thing you mentioned is that you enjoyed how chunky the pieces were. I thought of a product that I use that you might be interested in. Derwent has sets if XL charcoal blocks that comes in shades of grey, or a set of muted earth tones. There are 6 pieces to a tin. They also have XL graphite blocks that have grey, earth tones, blue and green. I like having the option of different colours or shades of grey to play with. If you enjoy creating in this manner, you might want to check these out. I would provide a link, but YT will probably delete the comment.

Thank you X I dug out five jumpers that I haven't been wearing and cut off the sleeves and cut down the centre.....rejoined just a bit at the neck !!! I joined the sleeves to make a bit of a matching neck warmer !
