After the disastrous incident with colored pencils (see yesterday’s post), I redrew my Celtic knot morning glories using digital tools (iPad, Adobe Fresco, Apple Pen). Eventually I will make a clean graphic, but for transferring onto my rolling pin, a printed rough sketch works fine.

My transfer paper was rather worn out, so I rubbed a #1 pencil across the back of the design to do the transfer.

The transfer wasn’t as clear as I’d like, so I went back over the design directly with pencil, using my sketch as a guide.

This design pleases me, and I quite like the look of the pencil lines. Painting directly with acrylic is still quite intimidating. Hm.
