Really cool filament bulb from an awesome magazine my art teacher brought in.

The bulb is done in colored pencil, with the blue/white background in acrylic.

Oh, look, it’s that letter opener, nearly finished.

The envelopes may get addresses, and they will have wax seals, in addition to a large wax seal on the left-hand side just under the handle, if I can find a seal satisfactorily large enough.

(The text peeking out of the open evelope is Shakespeare’s Sonnet 130:
My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun; coral is far more red than her lips’ red; if snow be white, why then her breasts are dun; if hairs be wires, then black wires grow upon her head; I have seen roses damasked, red and white; but see I no such roses in her cheeks…)

Finished and matted version of an earlier sketchbook, which is posted here somewhere. I’m quite happy with the turnout, and I am in love with the patterned-paper book we have in our art room. I use it constantly, and it’s pefect for matting.

It’s not actually drawn on my binder. It’s just in the cover (which is why there’s a spot of Greek in the background which translates to, roughly I think, ‘Why should I dance?’ but it’s totally irrelevant) and I’m going to buy some beige or grey envelopes to use as the background. Also I used it do defend myself from a ghost today in Hamlet in English. Who knew I’d’ve needed it?

I’m so glad to be done with this thing.
