Sketchbook: drawing lines

I did the embroidery version of the carrion crow with the human eye, but before I can move on I have to figure out the size of the box below it. So I thought I'd
 play around a bit in my sketchbook. You can't see it but the room below is behind the cut out of the page.  Not sure when the box will get done. It's 0°F

  outside and my workshop is too cold to work in yet, brrrrrrrrr, grrrrrrrrr!

I've always enjoyed doing highly modeled drawing but line drawing lends itself so well to embroidery that I find I'm getting back into it more.

Artist's Hands by Henry Moore

 Snowing Again

"for now I am a willing prisoner in this house,

a sympathizer with the anarchic cause of snow.

I will make a pot of tea"

from Billy Collins poem
