For Crying Out Loud

 
 
When Ingo came home shortly after 09:00 am from work from Salzgitter I was. Sad? Angry, mad?
I am mostly healthy but oh so often have to worry about him.
 
No idea which medium to use, pencils or pigment colors for watercolor... Ingo gave it all to me.
I tried the pencils on cheap paper cause the weather is too shitty to go out with that stupid arm to buy otherwise, plus I´m a beginner, of course. 
 
Henry 🦁 is angry with me.
 
 
Whenever I "work" on my journal there is one snippet per day to throw away, or, thanks to Bleubeard and Elizabeth, recycle.
It shows my frustration.
Some snippets don´t even have a date - hilarious!
 
I know, I know. Others are like really in health-problems, there is war in many a part of the world.
Reckon the more "rich" you are... the easier you complain?
 
Found this "chip" saying "more healthy under 7".
No idea. I could feed a trolley/grocery-thingy (what do you call those? Shopping cart?) with this, as here in Germany (or Europe?) these cost either money or such chips.
7 might refer to the famous 7 a day, as in fruit and veggies. 
 
You get them from stores and such "for free", these "tokens".
 
 
.. ."free"... Do you get anything for free these days?
If so.. I wish for health.
 
So. Saturday already.
Monday back to work (yippee? When? 06:00? 07:00? Either way, hope it will be fun!).
 
Tips and hints for sketching are welcome!!! 

I should delete my last post.
Or NOT? Because it might HELP some of you?
Because it is my real me.

I have no idea about different papers and the quality of them, does it really make that much difference to the drawings or paintings? I'm no artist and only ever do scribbles on my exercise books which I mostly use to take notes on what I am reading or write down recipes I find online.

...my best to both of you.

Your wish for health. Yes I agree, that's the most important (personal) wish there is. Get well soon, both of you.

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

Sometimes when we hurt physically, we take it out emotionally on others we love. I hope both of you are feeling better soon, Iris.

I'm so glad you saved this from the recycle container. It's a great Henry.

In the states, we have to use REAL money to unlock the shopping carts at Aldi. Free would be so much better. Thanks for sharing this beautiful lion with us at AJJ using Bleubeard's and my theme.

I like your "scream", a good way to get rid of your frustration.

I like this drawing Iris. You did a great job in the mouth. Thanks for linking up to AJJ, and was Ingo not feeling well? Is that why he came home? Maybe I missed something here. hugs_Erika
