Week 5 End of #Inktober

Well it is over my friends. #Inktober has been a real help to me this year. Drawing, coloring and typing these blog poses has been a perfect part of my therapy.

The month went by so quickly. Tomorrow starts my favorite month of the year, November.

see you soon,,,,,pilgrim

Inktober Week 4: 10-22 to 10-28-2017

This week was a mixture of African designs and tangles. It was so fun.

Progress this week:

Open the snaps on pants hangers with right hand and did not hurt. Progress

Inktober is almost over and I have enjoyed every minute every small drawing, I have used the same book for the past two years; however there are only a few pages left so I will start a new book next year. I already have it, it is so cute.

Have a blessed week....pilgrim

Inktober October 15 to 21 - Doodling can be fun

I have to say that I am really getting to like this Zentangle/doodle process. I have done it before, but I was never comfortable with it. Mainly because I have been guilty of at looking at what other's do and think that I could never be as good. I know, I know, I should not think like that but sometimes old habits are hard to break. Anyhoo, I have started to enjoy the randomness of it all. I have a couple of reference books that I am using, one is dedicated to African symbols that I bought years ago. Plus I am just making some up (that is a lot of fun).

Accomplishments this week:

Able to comb my hair with my right hand and no pain
typing on the compter is getting faster, although my hand does hurt if I work too long so I work in shifts
I can use scissors with my right hand, thank goodness
Writing is getting more comfortable
ring finger is getting closer to touching palm slow but steady
