Just a Peep!


Everyday Matters - Draw your junk drawer. 
We've all got one, perhaps more than one.  I  attempted this drawer several times in different ways, but decided to do just the corner as it was slightly over-whelming trying to draw everything.  In this small part there is a stapler, sellotape and a bit of string and all sorts of rubbish  bits of paper etc.  I could tidy it all up, but then I wouldn't find anything!

Great drawing Cathy....everyone needs a drawer like that. I think it works really well just seeing part of it

Call that a junk drawer? That's tidy! LOL What a great subject - beautiful job. x

Great sketch. I love all the soft colors!

Shirley said...

Love the composition!

I have so many of these drawers I am having a hard time choosing which one to try. Great sketch and idea to do just a portion.

Lynn said...

Great sketch! I found this challenge a little overwhelming, too. Drawing just a part of the drawer is a good idea.

Good composition. I think it's perfect to only do a section because our imaginations can easily fill the rest of the draw for you.

I thought for a minute you had crept into my house and drawn my junk drawer!!

Isn't that the truth? Sometimes there is an order to our chaos. Nice sketch.

It's a lovely, contained, attractive drawer!! Well done!

This is a great drawing! Well done! And it is no junk drawer, there are treasures in there - like the twine!

(pssst - Thanks for your help with Elena. I should have been more careful with my words. Sometimes I clown around too much.)

I love your "treasure" drawer. I just feel like opening it a bit more to see what is next !!

Gorgeous drawing there! =) Shows clearly what you have in that drawer, and the same time delivers the warmth we usually get when we're at home

Sandra said...

You certainly make a junk drawer look like a treasure chest.

Great drawing, Cathy! Beautifully done.

Lovely drawing - I haven´t dared startin this challenge yet... My junk drawer is a real mess!

About the favourite song - I have thought about that much, but I can´t seem to bee able to choose one. Favourite book was much easier! :)

Oooh you are brave. A great drawing (and I like the idea of just doing a corner). I will have to tidy up before I dare to take on this particular challenge ...

Terrific drawing! And it looks just like (one of) my junk drawer(s)!

I had a good laugh at that...'everyone has one'. For me, it's called my desk! The whole of it! Wonderful sketch (well, more like a painting)!
