Let's get our ink on ~ again!!

I've hosted ballpoint pen swaps before and the artwork never ceases to amaze me! I just love to see what can be done with a mere ballpoint pen! This is a hand-drawn only swap, depicting anything you'd like. The one absolute hard and fast rule is that the only medium you may use is a ballpoint pen. Please, no other embellishments.
There are many ballpoint pen varieties out there and you can find them in all colors... it is entirely up to you. I mostly use the "free" blue or black ones from the bank. (My sister always reminds me that there aren't really free pens at the bank, but I disagree!)

Just have fun!

Please enclose SASE with same amount of postage it costs to reach me. International, please enclose a well-hidden $2 and address label. Please PM me if there is any problem.

Who wants to draw in ink?

Lurking for now. I enjoyed our last time, just want to be sure it is done in time. And I have to ask myself: use color?
 
glad to have you here Lorna! and I too struggle with that question ~ I usually fall back on just one or two colors; seems to simplify things when working I'm working with ballpoint pen... but I have seen some amazing color images all from ballpoint pen ;)
 
Lurking for now... but... how are those pens not free? They encourage folks to take them, and everywhere you go in southern Oregon those are the pens being used; every restaurant the waitstaff uses those pens. Fabulous advertising for that local bank!
 
Yeah! I was itching to do some ball point pen drawings lately, now I can! Count me in please :) I enjoyed the last one you hosted ;)
