Day One Hundred Sixty Nine

Well, it’s a late night again here at The Ink Drop. I’ll probably keep this post brief in order to stay conscious through the end. It’s rainy and cold and beautiful outside...I’m enjoying it. Alright time for art now, I think.

So, I took today’s word and twisted it around to fit a definition that I’d come up with as a young kid.

puff-ball n. A type of fungus that is rounded and will discharge its spores in a mass of smoke.



Although illustrating an actual puffball would have been interesting (Have you ever kicked one of those things? So entertaining...) I decided to go with something different.

I’d always called any kind of pom-pom or yarn ball a “puffball” as a kid, so today’s word made me immediately think of a cozy winter hat with those tufts of yarn on the ends. Because it got a little chilly today, I was feelin’ the wintery inspiration coming back.




I really like the way she came out, if I may say so myself. I like the fact that her face sort of sums up today for a few of us. Makes me wish I could pull off a hat like that.

Cheers for now,

Xx
