What a rare find! They are the most beautiful pen nibs I've ever seen. But the hand and the 5-pronged one are indeed a little strange!
ReplyDeletethanks for pulling my name out for the owl pellets!!
ReplyDeleteI know how exciting it can be to dissect one, however it's been a few years since I last did it so I may need glasses!!
and the winner, I know for sure, will be delighted with your work Karen.
oh yay, i am so excited!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful find! Love it when that happens!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful nibs. Just think what fun you'll have playing with those and what great art will emerge.
ReplyDeleteThose pen nibs are really beautiful, what a wonderful find. I very much like the lion that you drew - he looks very friendly.
ReplyDeleteI've found my sewing has suffered with the good weather, but I think it does you so much good to get out in the sun and spend time outside. I'm decided that my folksy shop will run on skeleton stock until the nights start to draw in, then I istinctively seem to turn to drafts to get me through the winter.

beautiful lion!
ReplyDeleteYou find the most wonderful things! What a beautiful lion. :-)
ReplyDeleteYipes. That does look like Wormtail's hand! And I think the lion looks a bit like Edward!
ReplyDeleteI love your lion, he has a great expression on his face, sort of regal and kind at the same time.
ReplyDeleteThe most beautiful pens! What a lucky find that was, and how inspiring. I absolutely love to get new art materials and these beauties would have me itching to draw something too! Your lion is gorgeous, you've produced a lovely painting with the blue ink. I don't think I've seen a 'watercolour' from you for a long time. This is a rare treat :)
ReplyDeleteWow! Fancy finding that in a charity shop- excellent! It's certainly found a good home, and your lion is wonderful. I enjoyed your previous post about your dream. After following your links to the Hare Society, I'd like to think the rabbits in the dream I blogged about recently were hares.You have a wonderful blog here, and your artwork is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThose pens are gorgeous! The sort of thing thats nice to have on show even if u don't use them! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat find!:)
