To bin or not to bin? The knotted branch

Forget that it's a branch and just think of it as an abstract - either way it works well for me.

I like it Mia, it's different! The Nescafe has worked a treat!

As I scroll through the gallery , some images really appeal to me and this is one of those.

I like it also Mia, just a great shape.

I agree with Michael Mia. Do other brands of coffee work as well as Nescafe? :)

I like it a lot Mia . You also enjoyed doing it. Sometimes it does take another View point I often am not sure about what I have produced .

Thank you all so very much for your positive comments. Val, I don't now about other brands, Nescafé is the only one I have. It works very well, although it is not lightfast. I have to keep those sketches in a box but they are not made for framing anyway.

How unusual Mia, you’ve made in to a work of art.

Thank you very much, Fiona, for taking the time to post such a positive comment.

I agree ...it's lovely piece of work..

Thank you very much, Sylvia.

Like it Mia,

Interesting but natural shape of branches meeting and coiling. . Great sketch Mia

Thank you, David and Syd, for taking the time to have a look and posting such lovely comments on my work.

Yesterday I discovered this funny branch in our garden. I used a dip pen and Chinese ink to draw it and gave it a wash with Nescafé. I don't know how it is to you, I am not sure if it is OK. All comments very, very welcome.
