A Yellow Cockatoo Feather

A yellow cockatoo feather I found has made a nice addition to my collection on our windowsill. Using here a Faber Castell Pitt marker pen, a tool I abandoned some time ago in favour of the more difficult-to-use Fude ink pen. It was an unexpected pleasure to use the old marker pen again today. So easy to use compared to the Fude but of course I don't get the variation in line width. A successful sketch nonetheless.

The blue tile was given to me by an Urban Sketcher from Portugal I met in Singapore in 2014. The other tile was a gift from Ash who bought it in Singapore last year. 

Yes, that is a teeny tiny succulent growing in the tiny pot.
