My new ancient pencil!
Soooooooooooooooooo, as promised, I am sharing with you my lovely discovery from last week, my Technograph - Fixpencil by Caran d'Ache!! Here is a picture I made -while I was drawing the Pupa Challenge- of the Fixpencil I inherited from Chouca, Hubby's dad... I got it at the same time as these pencils: and while I used the pencils straight away, I didn't look thoroughly at the graphite pencils (in the little white metallic box that's on the top left of last picture) but now I have done it and I'm so happy!! Aside from a few standard graphite pencils of various sizes and hardness, there was the lovely Fixpencil and the different leads for Technograph :) I have no idea how old it is exactly... but I'd say the 1960s or 1970s, probably. It is quite heavy, pleasantly so... and it is all made of metal, covered in a light layer of black paint. As you see, I have a small stash of leads, but I have checked on the Caran d'Ache website and they still make them :) so I can order more
I hadn't disappeared! well, I had, for 6 days,...
... but now I'm back!! ...Hi everyone!! :wave: the thing is, the end of September and the beginning of October were really unpleasant for me: vertigo, migraines, fatigue, friends to support because they were mourning... For my health, I have been prescribed physiotherapy and a precise cocktail of magnesium, iron, vitamins B and D and whatnot... anyway, things are getting better slowly... they started getting better about a week ago, which was fortunate, since Hubby had a few days off from work (and he really needed it)... so we took time for ourselves, went hiking, played video games and board games, made good, slowly cooked food, watched new movies (well, new to us but not necessarily released recently), the rugby World Cup, too... I have drawn a lot, too, even if I haven't uploaded,... I'm currently drawing Inktober 23 and I have finished the -not so- creepy clown for the Inkblot Splatter Group challenge and I have googled refs for the current Animal of the Month... I intend
Inktober starts in 2 days!!
I'm so looking forward to it!! :) at my own pace, as usual, so I'll probably finish in November :D But mostly, I'm looking forward to seeing what some of my favorite artists, and some awesome friends, will come up with :)
Back Home Again!! :)
Hey everyone!! I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack on DA :) It's been 2 weeks and I've missed you all so much!! :hug: I'm glad to be around!! For the people who like super short journals, here is the summary: - on the plus side: Hubby and I were on vacation in Sigmaringen (Germany) for a whole week, then we hiked for another week around our home, on well-known and new trails, enjoyed the sun on our balcony and played a looooooooooooot of board games and video games - on the not-so-cool side: after about 3 months of pains and analysis and meetings with my doctor, I have a damaged nerve that is causing me a lot of pain but, while it's not life-threatening or anything really bad, nothing can be done apparently, except taking painkillers and having massages, until the problem disappears by itself, or not, maybe in a few months, maybe in years... Now, for a, let's say, more developed journal :D So, yes, we were on vacation and it was AMAZING!! Sigmaringen and its surroundings are
