Polymer Clay Pen

I learned how to make the marble look with the clay that I baked onto pens.  I think it looks more like camo :)  The pens feel very comfortable and are fun to make.  I found this idea on Pinterest.

Portraiture

The National Portrait Museum always has wonderful displays. Portraits are works of art that record the likeness of people. Below is a picture from the museum.  My goal was to draw portraits.  The internet had many tutorials.  The second picture uses a technique of squiggly lines.  The last picture focuses on proportions and lines to use as guidance when drawing a face. - JM
