This art piece was done on scratch board. It has a white, waxy surface that covers a sub surface of color. There are different patterns of colors available, solid golds and silvers up to multi colored spaces, like this one. Working with a stylus instead of an ink pen is very different, as is the motion of scratching off the surface versus drawing. It would seem to be very similar, but the product is not the same. I enjoyed working with the scratch board and used it in the painting I showed last week of Odin and his ravens.
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group is for us to check in at to let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. It's also so we can find other Kossacks nearby for in-person checks when other methods of communication fail - a buddy system. Members come here to check in. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, etc.), we and your buddy are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care! IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a PM to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news!Monday: Crimson Quillfeather/Tuesday: ejoanna/Wednesday: Caedy

They came and tore off the old roof today. OMG, what a lot of noise and tramping around but they got it all off and packed off in a huge dumpster. Not a lot of mess was left but Mr Zen did have to clean up and look for nails. I hope the construction goes as easily, starting tomorrow morning.
How are ya’ll doing? Let us know below.
