I have just joined a Yahoo group called Everyday Matters . Sometimes I prefer to think of it as Every day Matters.
I am still working out what it's all about but if I get the gist it is a community of people who enjoy drawing. They often maintain sketch diaries or illustrated journals that record everyday images from their lives. Many also post their drawings to Blogs such as this.
Some also participate in various drawing challenges, including the weekly challenge which involves drawing on a particularly subject or theme. Thus this is EDM #123.
My wife bought this lovely little bell in Brisbane a couple of years ago. As a teacher, she sometimes has used it to to bring a class of small rioters to heel.
Like the previous post it was drawn with a fine, water fast, felt tip pen and coloured with watercolour wash. These represent a couple of my first ever attempts at this media.

Nice use of color. The EDM challenges are a lot of fun and a great way to hone your skills.
I am also a relatively new member to this (or any) art group and have been the grateful recipient of alot of spontaneous support and encouragement.
There is some serious talent at work in this group and judging from your initial offerings...you'll fit right in!
It's a lovely bell, Ian, very well done. Welcome to the EDM group, I look forward to seeing more of your sketches
Good job on the Bell! I love the wide, heavy lines of it! The drawing of the baby is simple and elegant. I'm sure the parents were thrilled with such a precious gift! Can't wait to see more of your work! Joyce
Hi - and welcome. I love your drawing style too - glad to have you as a member.
Welcome to the group Ian - you've made a lovely introduction with your beautiful bell and birthday picture. I really like your line work - you have such a sure hand. I suspect you are not as green as your blog title suggests!
Welcome to EDM! Beautiful bell sketch. I look forward to seeing more of your work.
Welcome to EDM - drawing 'everyday stuff' is such a pleasure. Alison in Canberra
