Amazed you can get all these great marks from a coffee stirrer Stephen, super expressive sketch. You are obviously a big land-owner (in your dreams), I hope you were gracious enough to return to Costa what was rightly theirs ?

Great grounds Stephen coffee?

Thanks Sharon and Dennis, room for plenty of coffee quips here! I don't think Costa would be too keen on an ink coated coffee stirrer, or perhaps it could be a new fashion?

Wonderful what you have done here Stephen,

Certainly looks cold. Lively 'stirring' work!

Many thanks Louise, I bet someone says lovely granulation!

Lovely use of tools from your surroundings Stephen. This one's a real cracker. I think it's your best yet.
