Ok, so I know its been a while since I’ve posted any of my own art. My tablet and pen are up and working again but my art block hasn’t seemed to have dissipated yet. So I’ve been trying to be creative in other ways to try and spark something. I’ve been doing a lot of writing and some wood working.

For the past several weeks I’ve been working on a curly willow branch to turn it into a walking stick for my dad for Christmas. So I’ve been cleaning off the twigs and sanding off the bark. (I would have just pealed the bark off when it was still green but by the time I got the brach the bark had already turned black.) Anyways. I’m finally down to the last leg of corse sanding. I’ve had to sand alot of it by hand because of the nooks and curves but I should be able to finish sanding it today. After I used the fine grain sand paper on it then all that is left is to drill a hold in the top and stain it. I just wish I knew someone who was good at whittling so I could have them carve a neat design into it.

Anyways, thats what I’ve been up to. I would love to know what you guys have been doing! Oh and when I get this project done I’ll make sure to post pictures of the finished product! <3
