Yep, it’s time for a couple more weird and wonderful words!
First up, n for nepheligenous – producing clouds of tobacco smoke. I was imagining a forest made of cigarettes when I sat down to sketch, but not sure it came out ever so well. Never mind!!
Do you think the world is evil? If so, you could have a case of malism - the belief that the world is evil.
I just love Gman’s interpretation of an evil world!
And, we got well ahead of the game with Sketch Tuesday this week. The assignment, due Monday 6th August, is to “Sketch a rock or a pile of rocks or something you do with rocks.”
Here’s Gman’s collection of sparkly crystals and rocks:
And Waif’s “colourful and shiny rocks”:
And I chose a holey rock to sketch:
For all you home educators, I do recommend taking part in Sketch Tuesday. It’s a bit of non-competitive fun; all are welcome to join; and I can recommend sketching as a lovely, relaxing way to spend half an hour or so together. It works for us anyway – meditation in action





You’re right, it is a lovely thing to do with the wee ones, I took Miss Boo on a sketching field trip, pics soon my blog. LOVE G mans rocks, they are all fab, but especially G mans!
Yes, Gman’s rocks are my faves too. He has a bit of a penchant for shiny crystals and whatnot.
Saw your sketching trip on your blog – lovely!
Your first drawing reminds me of something my 3-year-old said the other day: there was a woman smoking a cigarette out her car window at a red light about two weeks ago, and Bayla said, “Mommy, that woman has something that’s making fog outside!”
Haha, great observation Bayla!
