The one line drawing.

I have started applying a technique with sewing I learnt at Art college during life drawing lessons, called 'the one line drawing'. Basically the idea is to not let your drawing implement leave the paper whilst you draw. Often these exercises were timed so you had thirty seconds for example, or a minute and a half to commit as much to paper as possible. More often than not it was the lack of detail that created the point of interest. Plus you draw less with your brain and more with your hand. 

The Method

(Just incase anyone forgets how to bake a cake as often as I do.)

The Tea Bag

I no longer have to faff with my faulty tea strainer that allows little chunks of annoying

loose leaf through. Using a coffee filter, embroidery thread, scraps of paper and a lot of 

patience I can turn loose leaf tea into the more conventional bag. All my friends drink 

tea so when I send them a letter (because i'm old fashioned) the bag is a perfect size for 

travelling through the mail.
