This is my favorite chair. It wasn’t expensive, only $35. I saw it in a CHOC (Children’s Hospital of Orange County) Thrift Store about 3 years ago and knew at first sight that, although it was a little frayed around the edges of the arms, it was the chair for me. When I turned it over, I discovered that it was a hard-wood framed, down-stuffed chair from a premium furniture manufacturer. And it was comfortable! I could picture myself spending hours reading in it in my desert home. I resolved a long time ago to only have furniture and “things” that “spoke” to me–this chair speaks “home” to me.
Alas, I’m not living in my desert home–but my chair is. I visit it now and then and try to spend a little time sitting in it. People who rent the house love this chair and comment on how comfortable it is.
Koh-i-noor and Derwent Drawing Pencils. Colors blended with blending stubs and Splenda blending pencil in Canson notebook on ecru paper. The Koh-i-noor woodless pencils are my favorite implements for the vibrancy of their color and for the ease and smoothness with which they blend. The picture is fixed with Krylon spray fixative to protect the pencil from smearing.
I bought a new computer with the Windows Vista Operating System. The scanner that worked beautifully with my former computer that ran on Windows XP does not work with Vista. Instead, I used the digital camera (7.1 megapixels) to photograph my picture; the flash reflecting on the fixed surface of the artwork may have caused glare.
