And Trouble was the name of the neighbor's black cat. Every black cat that old woman ever had was named Trouble, right up until the 1990s when she died!Casey Shainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15654097774209894695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491858821724608028.post-53309266750514273872010-11-19T05:53:53.323-05:002010-11-19T05:53:53.323-05:00Casey, you do one fine job showing the world not o...Casey, you do one fine job showing the world not old your creativity, but hard work.

It's a bit shinier and a nice dark gray. They're soft too, for wooden surfaces, so I don't have to press down very hard. On the other hand, sometimes I use a wooden dowel I've shaped into a point, and press down very hard, to create an "invisible" grid of lines Casey Shainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15654097774209894695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491858821724608028.post-44513329568643774472010-11-18T13:34:28.810-05:002010-11-18T13:34:28.810-05:00Casey, they're all really lovely!

It's fascinating. :)Katie In NJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05128096526634023424noreply@blogger.com
