I then set the pencil aside to sit overnight before I use it. <br /><br />Dianna, Beth glad to hear I am not the only gal who glues! Yeah for frugality! :-)<br /><br />C.D., you are so right, Blue Blooded does look cool and moody in comparison. Thanks for stopping by!<br /><br />Thank you Teresa!

I...Hey Teresa! I love Blue Blooded! Very striking!<br /><br />It sounds like you like spring as much as I do! The fresh air, the beautiful new life!<br /><br />I have also been gluing my pencils for years. Ever since the price of a pencil went over $1 (hmmm...I sound cheap) I vowed to get every last penny out of my pencils.

I gave up and now I have dozens and dozens of stubs collecting in a plastic dish. I will either a) draw a still life of them, b)make a necklace - haha, or c) bring them to you in S.F.!<br /><br />Your drawing is beautiful; vibrant and so much energy!Lynda Schumacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05770249962267325853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6260435224884335630.post-49176002996669086892010-04-21T22:19:52.762-04:002010-04-21T22:19:52.762-04:00Thanks Jeanette.

I love the idea of gluing on the stubs to new pencils. <br /> The Blue Blooded piece is so interesting. I love the movement and color variations. You are one talented lady. Thanks for sharing all that talent with the rest of us.

Before it gets much bigger...but it is just daunting for me for some odd reason.

I like it a lot.<br /><br />I am still waiting for flowers to arrive - and warmth. But it will get here. However, there are a lot of seedlings coming up nicely in the greenhouse.

But if you think it is a great title, then maybe I shall leave it as it is! :-)<br /><br />Hi Maria, thanks for your comments. Isn't it wonderful to see what we planted months ago actually come up? I had some plants come up that I had forgotten I had planted!! That was a pleasant surprise. :-)Teresa Mallenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17978596700598817430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6260435224884335630.post-86752570097344391382010-04-20T18:48:24.997-04:002010-04-20T18:48:24.997-04:00I really like the blue blooded painting.

I planted the bulbs last fall and I am sure that as the years pass they will become more beautiful.<br />I keep my pencils stubs as well. I have not clued them yet but have been told that it works really well and with the cost of each pencil it will help stretch my budget.m1 Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12867092935148084345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6260435224884335630.post-74943284295770578722010-04-20T15:37:56.706-04:002010-04-20T15:37:56.706-04:00Blue Blooded - great title and amazing colored pen...Blue Blooded - great title and amazing colored pencil work.
