EDiM#13 a suitcase.  I don't actually have a suitcase, not anymore.  So an imaginary suitcase will have to do.  Went to the hockey game tonight, great game, Rays won 3 - 0 over Wheeling Nailers.

#EDiM12 Leaves, did this one with just watercolor, no pencil drawing, no ink, just straight watercolor.  Disappointed that the new clutch levers didn't fit my bike, and there are none available for my 2016 bike yet sigh.

#EDiM11 a Pail... used my fun rainbow pencil again... My FLRT is in the shop, getting new adjustable gear shift levers.  Can't wait to try them out at bike week in Myrtle Beach, Ron and I plan to go up there either Saturday or Sunday.

#EDiM10 Draw some candy.  Tried a few things here,  used a Chinese Brush painting brush to paint the colors (obviously need more practice doing circles with this brush).  Added ink circles and M's with uni-ball white gel pen or Lamy fountain pen.  Finally, tried using a 1/4 flat brush to do the lettering... all in all got some good practice in doing this page.

#EDiM09 Someone you love, hands down had to give drawing my husband Ron a try.  He is my hero, my support, my best friend... he supports me and shares my ups and downs.  I wish I was better at drawing people so that I could capture his likeness better.

#EDiM08 draw some boots.  This one was fairly easy for me, I've recently gotten some new boots for my upcoming trip across country.  While one pair of boots works for at home, a spare pair is needed on the road, in case of wet boots.

#EDiM07 A cleaning gadget was a tough one for me, but I settled on the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, it may not be a gadget, but this stuff is indeed magic.  It'll even clean up and remove dried watercolor paint without damaging your watercolor paper.  Works great on stoves and bathtubs too.

Recently got the battery replaced in this colorful watch, those are crystals around the face of the watch.  I'm planning to wear this watch on my up coming trip because it is water resistant to 15 feet, so should stand up to rain better than my Samsung Gear S watch.  #EDiM06 a time piece.

Used my Pentel Pocket Brush Pen to draw a girl on the swings.  My favorite thing to do at the park as a child,  well my favorite besides swimming.  My grandmother worked for at the city park pool and I'd spend all day at the park/pool, swimming, playing on the swings... it was a magical place and time.

I used a Shoo Rayner YouTube video to help me draw today's #EDiM04 a game.  Went to O'Charlie's for Free Pie Wednesday, Ron had Pecan and I had Apple (with Ice Cream), then to Palmetto Moon for some new Flip Flops.

My rawhide jewelry hammer was my model for todays EDiM#3 to draw a hammer.  Picked up my Harley tonight, it had it's 5,000 check up today.  Also got new grips, a new LED Headlight and turn signal button extensions installed.  Rode it a few miles to the Chic-filA for dinner and then to the HOG meeting tonight.  I'm happy with my new accessories, looking forward to a trip Myrtle Beach this weekend to give them a workout.

#EDiM02 Something with folds.  I used 4 different colored pencils to create this pink towel with folds.  I think it turned out ok.

Used my rainbow colored pencil to draw my Dogbert doll for #EDiM 01.  I really enjoy participating in this yearly challenge.
