Simplifying my life means just that: Selling things, donating things, and making my online life easier. As a result, I have dumped my two other blogs – The Glass Aerie and Journey by Paper. I exported their content and imported it here to Ink, Yarn & Beer. I have even considered dumping this blog, but I have too much tied up in it, and I do rather like it. There is a bit of work to do, but I don’t think of that as a big issue – just a bit of time and learning.
Inktober comes but once a year, and it is a lot of fun, too. Ink is the focal point – drawing with it, shading with it. Not only is black ink used, but so is colored. It’s a great time to sit down and just draw with ink, or, what I always do, is to draw from a given prompt.
If you go to Instagram and type in #inktober2021, you can find all sorts of responses to the prompts. People are amazingly creative! Sometimes I feel a bit prosaic and dull, but that varies from drawing to drawing, of course.

If you want to see what I added below the images on my painting-drawing blog, head over to Journey By Paper to see more, or my Instagram account. At Journey By Paper you can enjoy boring commentary or doggerel by yours truly, others, as well as good poetry and song.
