Today is my birthday! So yesterday, I went to Powell’s Books for Cooks, a favorite haunt, and treated myself to a beautiful moleskine with a snazzy black cover and snappy elastic. I love that moleskine’s are handmade – perfect for handwork.
We have a wicked, new kitten named Popcorn and she showed up in this pencil sketch last night. I titled this drawing Second Nature. I like how kitty girl is nurturing a sleeping bird, her hand-tail curled around a nest of eggs. Just a little reminder that things aren’t always as they seem…people and things don’t always act the way we expect.
Love her little pink tongue and big eyes!
Her little tail ends with a gentle hand wrapped around a nest of eggs. They’d be robin’s egg blue if this were in color.
