T stands for....some drawings

 I promised myself to start blogging right away after my Christmas holiday, but....life got in the way and I had to undergo a minor surgery (ok, the surgery was minor, but the healing will take some time).

So here we go, a bit later than planned. Some of the tea bags I used have motivational or funny quotes or puns on the labels, one for example says: "Tea warms the soul, when the sun hides." I love that.

To keep my mind off the surgery and stop myself from overthinking, I did a lot of drawing, for example some meadowflowers from a new book I have. Love dandelions.

I also filled some pages in my A3 sketchpad, mostly with lovely little birdies like Long Tailed Tits...

....or tiny Goldcrests.

I also found the muse to start and finish another colored pencil drawing of a Coal Tit. I'm always in love with colored pencils, when I finish a drawing, but the process is soooooo long sometimes with all the layers.

Most work I do these days to gather "pencil miles" (how John Muir Laws calls it) is small garden birds sketched with pencils like this Goldcrest.

And I really love my new drawing book "How to Draw Flowers" by Anastasia Sälinger. Easy step-by-step tutorials and only few materials. Maybe I share the greeting cards I made from the drawings. Here's a bellflower from the book.

Linking to Bleubeard and Elizabeth for T stands for....
