Drawing of Berlin finds

Followed my own advice and drew the objects I found in Berlin...getting to know them...

Drawing is also a good time to sit and think

I have done a lot of these sheets recording my collection since 2008, I was shocked to notice, but I havn't done one in a while. They do look a little rough and ready, (but on mass they do look better).
So today, whilst listening to the BBC coverage of the hostage situations in France, I sat and drew this card of SEGS. I have always liked things in Multiples...I can never make one of anything. I think I need to do a little more pencil shading on the Segs though..

If you don't understand it..draw it..

A bit chilly in my workshop today..but with 2 cardies and 2 pairs of socks I sat in there and pondered. I have bought a few more items for the A1 Scrap Metal collection and this seemed a good time to study them. One particular object, labelled a "Tension Gauge", which I bought for £2 from Blakemere was baffling me...so I sat and drew it..now I understand how the thing works..Still not sure where it was used..in the textile industry maybe? but I figured out how the bits on the side clipped in and how the scale worked and the tension could be altered..
