Wow! ...Thank you for your enthusiastic responses! Wow! I'm glad you all like the art and appreciate the effort. Ellen and Donna, thank you so much for the "writing a book" comment - I love to write - toyed with the children's book idea, as well as novels. Read several books on writing novels. I've written a few short stories. I decided to concentrate on art instead. But who knows? What I seem to be lacking is something to say. These small subjects are different, I think. Joyful - it works great on an electric stove! Freebird - it was a gift for my wife, so the picture is framed-thanks. And Raena - Sgraffito sounds better than "scratching off", don't you think? :)Dan Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13130079803891606515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7926475327161474509.post-86019520005963931732009-10-14T23:37:32.312-04:002009-10-14T23:37:32.312-04:00But there is an EDM of "draw your cup" s...But there is an EDM of "draw your cup" so that gives you two of them! For making all that effort to find the picture of the pot you ought to get at least two challenges! I think you should frame this and hang it in your kitchen or dining area.

There doesn't seem to be much out there on the subject.<br /><br /> And the still-life is very, very good. You really put a lot of effort into it, and it shows!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing.donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03323824964266254700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7926475327161474509.post-12398831962517669862009-10-14T15:59:15.485-04:002009-10-14T15:59:15.485-04:00I always am tempted to buy one of those but I'...I always am tempted to buy one of those but I'm unsure of how they would work on a flat top electric stove.

I love the lines and the finer details, carefully pin-pointed strokes of ink... wonder-blast! <br />I know I sounded a bit unsure in my blog, that's because I am. I can't seem to think of anything to draw lately, so I am trying to get a little bit more inspirational from watching movies(usually that helps) but lately it's been quite hard. But thank you so much Dan, you've always been supportive, and I know I shouldn't be complaining too often, so I'd be working on that as a start. <br /><br />@Raena, sketching in public??
