LOL Thanks for the comments everybody! Ivory really was one of those dogs to best all other dogs in my heart, though my little mutt Penny is doing her best to take her place :)<br /><br />The pencil is an oddball that I really don't know where I got it from and it isn't marked. It's kind of between an Ebony and a Prismacolor. I suspect it might've been a watercolor pencil, but can't say for sure. Prismacolors work fine on vellum though.Linda Hensleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11929626735450807904noreply@blogger.com
