Mexico and Ribbons?

The 4th Bright Owl challenge was supposed to say something about mexico or the ocean... I don't know how I ended up with this... but I did. There are no tequila shots or fajitas anywhere and I don't think I've ever seen anything like these seed pods while snorkeling!
Maybe I'll do it again in the future and see if I can come up with something with a little more mexican flair... for now, I really do like the way this one turned out, even if it did go rogue on me!

The next one again, going back to the beginning of these because I started "in the middle" and my ocd makes me want to catch up, I have The Diva's second challenge which was a 2 pencil string. 

I have to say I really like this technique and the results. I'm a girly girl. I love ribbons. :)

Hope you like them! What did you draw today?

I love stars. I use them to center myself and to remember balance and to keep myself sane sometimes.
This is one that I started about 10 days ago (maybe a little longer) and didn't finish until now, it just wasn't right, which is odd because it's actually fairly simple and pretty small.  I think I was just overthinking it and that kept it from working. Once I let that go, it was easy to add the last little bit and finish it up.

It was for one an old challenge, but one that I really wanted to do, so here it is. Challenge 4. Stars
