I found a similar gift (a small branch), not as picturesque but with delightful colors that I'm hoping to get to soon. Your lines always have such character and strength at all the right places!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12304349794622823797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4222503441854374850.post-372248531143586642012-02-08T13:11:42.095-06:002012-02-08T13:11:42.095-06:00Paleo doritos-too funny.

I didn't know wood ears were edible, however...I think it might be their name(s) that put me off.<br />I share your affinity for bittersweet (I caught it from my Mom, too). The native kind is getting scarce around here but the invasive Japanese version is flourishing. Ugh!<br />Great sketches.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10906087554997612797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4222503441854374850.post-65614515193676702132012-02-07T20:27:33.434-06:002012-02-07T20:27:33.434-06:00Thank you, Melissa!
