Happy Chinese New Year

Happy Chinese New Year everyone!
I hope year of the dragon brings you happiness, health and all the good things!
Here in Toronto you'll see pretty Asian lanterns and New Year greetings everywhere.
I love how multicultural this city is.
I've used:

HB pencil
colored pencils
watercolors . Gold gouache
Stamp
Some persimmon beads I've made for earrings
&
My beloved persimmon teapot

  14. i cannot help but love your sketchbook pages. just enough collage and paint and you still leave some pencil and just plain ink.
    i used to swear by the micron 005, have you tried the Pilot g tec c 0.25?

    a little less waterproof, but such a nice rollerball, you never have the old micron pen breakdown. i used to buy one every week!
