Notes and Tangles 18 - 20

I've started carrying a little notebook around with me that's 3.5 inches by 5.5 inches. I think I like square tangles best.

I'm not using the best pens and pencils that I actually already own. (Micro-Line or Microns are recommended as well as a graphic sketching pencils for shading.)

I'm not even using the recommended paper.

Tomorrow I'll get out my Micro-Line pens and my Derwent pencils. Tonight I'm playing like a kid...and loving every minute.

I hope you're having fun, too.
