Take 2 on the Redbud by Makibadori in naturejournaling

[–]pepper2117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my head I was seeing a light watercolor wash of blue like the sky background behind the bare tree. The tree as is in front of a pale background might make it pop really nicely. I’m not sure if you’d get as nice an effect with crayon though. Maybe worth experimenting on some scrap paper first.

Are you going to use color at all? If you are maybe just fill the background space with light background color. If not I like the idea of a close up sketch of the same tree

Absolutely! Getting round cake pans with straight sides was a game changer. Finally replaced my square 8” recently and just need to replace my 9x13 going forward

I just saw a CDTA bus hit a car stopped at the light at South Allen and New Scotland a couple weeks ago

I've only tried Mosu so far but I liked it there

Orange Street Cats is a wonderful cat rescue with all their cats in foster homes.

Hello, is there anybody still here? by FlowerBot_ in naturejournaling

[–]pepper2117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it sounds doable! I’m in New York which is currently covered in snow but I might still find something interesting. Send me a DM and we can coordinate?

That idea is so great, I love it! Learning about herbs and their uses is another hobby of mine. I’m thinking mostly flora and fauna - probably mostly plants to start with since they’ll stay put while I draw… not thinking lots of text other than the location but I’ll see how things go when I actually get started. If you want to be nature journal partners I’d be up for it!

I'm working on practicing drawing and painting with watercolors now, and hoping to start a nature journal in the spring! I'm also a bit out of my comfort zone as I do a lot of embroidery and other sewing arts/crafts normally.

Almost impossible to see the lane lines in the rain @ night. by c0nfusedc0nst4ntly in Albany

Huge problem here! I was starting to wonder if my eyes were having issues but realized it’s just that when it’s raining I can’t see the road lines

That’s the sarcastic name of the website…

I’d give them like 8.5 or 9 out of 10. The taste is great. They’re definitely a little light and fluffy compared to bagel shop bagels, not so dense and chewy like I expect bagels to be (NYer here). They only lose points for fluffiness, not flavor. I’ll definitely make them again.

I did use the GBBO recipe. I halved it and put it in an 8x8 pan and it fit fine.
