Today was an absolutely gorgeous day! We got our kitchen garden planted, I brushed out the dogs, and just enjoyed myself outside. I did end up having to hide from the sun after a while though and I worked on a couple of paper ATCs that I'm doing for a swap on Nervousness. It's a Faces ATC swap and I thought I'd try drawing them. So here they are ...

I drew the faces with pigma pen, colored them with pencil and gel pen. Then made the hair and hats from pieces of scrapbook background papers. I think the blue girl looks Tyrolean! Yes, that is a fish on the hat of the other girl. I have one more to make for this swap. I'm getting caught up though, little by little.
Have you tried soaking the pens in hot water? Fill a tall glass or vase with hot water and drop the pens in nib first....this works for my bic pens, I don't see why it wouldn't work for gel pens.
By the way, we are 17 or 18 on the Flat STanley Challenge. I'm publishing the addies on Doll Street in about 10 minutes.
