Old keys


Another something my mom brought back from New York after clearing out the house she grew up in. It's a set of keys which are hooked onto a small carry pouch for them. I know at least one of them goes to a chest. I didn't do any research this time, just wanted to make a quick post.

Flat Top Steamer Trunk


My mom recently went to New York to help clear out the house she grew up in because it was sold. She brought back her dad's old travel trunk. I really liked it, so I took a ton of pictures. I researched it a bunch online because I wanted to know it's true age & who made it. Unfortunately there's no maker's label or mark on it to tell who made it & when. From what I researched, this type of trunk was made between 1880-1920. It has a bunch of shipping labels on it & one of them is dated 3/2/45. The lock itself is marked with two patent dates (JUNE 13 1882 & DEC 6 1892) & the lock maker's name & town (EAGLE LOCK CO. TERRYVILLE CT). There is also the number 30 imprinted on the lock (maybe the serial number?).

Statue drawing update 2


I had a hard time choosing a color for the cape and I'm really bad with colors. There's something I really don't like about colored pencils. There are certain parts of the drawing a want to highlight or lighten now, but I don't know how. Even if I use a white colored pencil, it just makes that area darker instead of lighter.

Statue drawing


This is a drawing I'm working on for Drawing 3 class. I originally had this idea of a scene at the top of some clouds. Two statues of a man and a woman at each end of the picture, facing each other at about a 45 degree angle. The statues are old and parts are crumbling away to reveal their bones beneath the stone. I wanted to draw this on the closet doors in my room. There was more to it and I remember the scene in my head being so epic.
