So what do you guys think? I am learning this new computer program, I am used to drawing by hand on paper with pencils, so the computer drawing is new to me! This is a half hour doodle I worked on a bit ago trying to work on smoothing and adding detail/texture to my silkie drawings...

C'mon tell me what I need work on! (I know the feet, LOL I hard forgot about the feet until the last minute and got bored. - I know bad Jessy gig.gif)

Just had the Silkie babies out for photos.  Not happy having their pictures taken.  They would much prefer to be cuddled. But these photos are a little better than the ones I posted the other day.

I am confused about their colors.  Two eggs were marked "PA" which I thought Karen had told me was paint.  I know paint does not breed true, so I have no idea how these will turn out!  Pretty sure they won't look paint though.  So one of the paints looks black and I may even have the black and paint confused.  I was trying hard to keep them all straight as they hatched, making notes, but when they dried they looked different!  The egg marked blue/splash I'm sure who hatched out of there, but this baby looks a lot bluer than splash.  So may turn out blue, maybe splash on a blue background?  Who knows?  I guess the fun will be the journey of discovery.  I love them all.

 

I did email Karen from Catdance to see if she had a moment to respond to a couple of my questions about color.  I'm sure she's busy, but we'll see.

 

So here they are!  I believe this is one from a mystery "PA" egg.  Love the attitude!

This is the other "PA" chick.  No idea.

Here's my blue splash baby (maybe vaulted skull) - who had to work VERY hard to get out of her shell.  She's valiant!  (and she had just stepped in poo - sorry!)

Pretty sure this is my vaulted skull black baby

Definitely the vaulted skull Lavender baby

And lastly, my beautiful porcelain sweetie.  love.gif
