I washed sheets today, but haven’t re-made the bed yet, so Harriet had to make do with sleeping on the couch. The pillows are usually stacked up at one end, but she likes to arrange them in a semi-circle and nest in the center of them. (The photo quality isn’t very good, but I didn’t like the way the ones using flash turned out.)
Dinosaur Egg
RoseArt metallic gel markers on 90lb Stonehenge paper
7 1/2 x 5 5/8 inches
This one took forever to get the “right” color blend, for some reason. I like it best of all the dinosaur egg drawings so far, though.
I stopped at Target last night on my way home from work. I was nearly out of glue sticks, and I wanted to check out their marker and pen selection. I picked up a package of 12 non-metallic RoseArt Color Sharp markers, which is what the metallic markers I’ve been using are. The original metallics package, which I no longer have, identified the markers as “gel markers.” The ink rests on top of the paper, which allows them to show up on dark paper. The new marker package does not say “gel” on it, and I was disappointed to find that the ink sinks into the paper. They won’t work for my purposes. Hrmf.
There was a package of RoseArt metallic markers, but there were half as many for three times the price, so I passed on them. Now, I’m wondering if they’ll have the old type of ink or the new type of ink. I’d hate to waste $12 on something I can’t use. Maybe I should just wait, because by the time my current set is worn out, I might be sick of them.
