Challenge for Day 14: Make something microscopic. How small can you work? Can you make something that requires a magnifying glass or a microscope to see?
So I think it would be way cool to make tiny things, but I think my eyes would hate me forever. I've done some rather detailed drawings before because I like the quality of the Pilot G-2 pens and getting into precise line work, but I can only do a little at a time since my eyes get so wiggy from it. Kind of like watching tv or being on a computer too long. Here's one drawing I did a while back:

For today, I obtained a magnifying glass and played around with working on tiny pen drawings with it. Here's the result, with a dime for size:
A tiny little tree! It was super hard to get close-up detail, since my camera is not superb, my camera skills are far from great, and my photo editing software is, well, the standard kind that came with my computer. Here's a couple blurry shots that look more like faded old tattoos to me:
I kind of really like the quality of that last close-up.
In other things, I rediscovered the awesome illustrations of Trina Schart Hyman this weekend. Beautiful stuff.
