I follow the artist Jacqui Fehl on Instagram and Pinterest. Her work is always whimsical, full of drama and just plain fun. That is where the idea for this page came from. By using a Stabilo All pencil to draw the shapes, you can then use a wet brush to add some shading at the end, by activating the Stabilo.

Speaking of which, I now have about 6 or 7 Stabilo Woody fat pencils, and realized last night I didn't have a sharpener. The woody pencils are 9/16th of an inch thick, so a normal sharpener wouldn't do. I found one online at JoAnn's. Because I had never ordered online from JoAnn's before, they popped up at 20% coupon for my entire order. Wasn't that nice of them? $62 later, I ordered my $7.99 Stabilo sharpener.

Smile. You would have done the same thing.
