Hi guys, the Lee lead is a bit of a surprise, I must say.
Not spoiling anything, John.
So you actually do watch paint dry then Steve!
This one appeals to me, no frills.
Saludos,
Bob.

More accurate to say I keep an eye on it whilst its drying - and technically its coloured ink not paint, theres a difference. Sometimes you can use a hairdryer to speed things up, depending on the type of paper that's being used.
This is why when I use the saying, it's always 'as boring as watching paint that's already dry' [aka procrastination] ;)
Nice one Bob :) As you say, no frills - they're the best. Good choice of font - I'm picking up lots of tips in that context too :D
To demonstrate the opposite (and because I can't get the soggy brain cells working today!) here's the one I mentioned above that I was reluctant to post .... you can see why :D

Or how about this one:
That's the one - thread back on track :)
John
My braincells have dried out a bit :)

Busy here while I've been busy elsewhere.
John, the chess pieces are well designed, the font works well.
"My braincells have dried out a bit" more like they are overwrought
judging by the front gates.
Keith, I get the impression that yours was probably harder
than it looks. Nice choice of font, too. Very effective.
Steve, I would have thought a hairdrier would make the paper
go crinkly. Depends on the paper though, I suppose.
But how do you know? Trial and error?
My effort is food related again.
A Lilliputian, not a Blefuscan, when it comes to your breakfast I see, Bob :)
John
you are all very creative in this thread :)
Bob - yes like I say it does depend on the paper - and how you blow dry it :D
If it all goes wrong can always re-wet the whole drawing and use a damp cloth and iron to flatten it - there you didnt know that did you - and again this won't work with any old paper - and of course you got to have used ink that's waterproof when dry ;)
In my experience, John the egg just has to be broken at the tapered end to maximise the chances of leaving the yolk (good and runny) intact. No spoons either, knife only! And toasted soldiers spread with real butter, none of that margarine (the devil's work) nonsense in our household. (as an aside did you know that margarine is only one molecule away from plastic?) Hampered as I am with a cholesterol problem, I have no more than 2 eggs a week and I alternate with poached and lightly boiled (just time enough to do the Times Cryptic Crossword on a good day) accompanied by a mug of English Breakfast Tea. Never crossed my mind that I'd hear mention of Blefescu here. Life's full of surprises.
Saludos,
Bob.
