Solving the Case of the Missing Jewels

On November 25, 2025 By nanasworldwebIn Foster and Panda8 Comments

"And it was not the men in the orange jackets!" François gave us the information as the rest of us listened in stunned silence. At length the hamster spoke up. "If it wasn't them," he began, "then who was it?" We were in Paris investigating the recent theft of the crown jewels from the Louvre, …

How to Draw People, Part 2

On February 11, 2022March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Art and Drawing6 Comments

So who would have thought… When I started this blog in 2016, it was mainly going to be art related. I was looking for a way to give my artwork an “online presence” so I could sell items on my Zazzle store. I have to say that my top selling item isn’t my artwork after …

“Pencil-tober”

On October 25, 2019March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Art and Drawing15 Comments

I know, it's really supposed to be "Inktober"... But I really wasn't crazy about the prompts list for this year, and I didn't feel like making up my own. No offense, you understand. I just wasn't crazy about them.So I took my favorite panda notebook with me when I went to have my car checked …

Jacobean Flowers

On December 12, 2018March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Art and Drawing3 Comments

...are very hard to draw! I have always loved Jacobean designs, since way before I even knew what they were called. I still remember the first time I heard the term. I was wearing a skirt with a flowery pattern and someone complimented it, saying, "That's very Jacobean". Not wanting to admit my ignorance of …

ABC Animals Part 6 – Zebra!

On November 26, 2018March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Art and Drawing

You may have seen this before... It's from Foster and Panda's adventure, "Safari", when Foster wanted to go to Africa to visit his big cat relatives. In this photo, Panda has jumped up onto a zebra's back and jokes that they may be his long-lost relatives. Foster, as usual, admonishes him to get down, fearing …

Inktober, Finished!

On November 5, 2018March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Art and Drawing

Yay! Inktober is done! Yes, I know it's November, but at least I finished my drawings on the first, so it may still have been October 31 somewhere in the world... So I only had three left to go when I posted "Inktober, Part 2". The words were "double", "jolt", and "slice". For "double" I thought …

“Inktober”, Part 2

On October 26, 2018March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Art and Drawing

But first, a review of Inktober, Part 1... I know you have been wondering (or not) where the rest of my "Inktober" drawings have been. Well, most of them have been in my mind, up until this week, when I realized I was so far behind I that I had to do about 10 drawings …

Coloring Pages!

On June 25, 2018March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Art and Drawing

I got a new idea! What if, on each of Foster and Panda's adventure posts, I was also able to include a free, printable coloring page for kids? (Or, let's face it, grown-ups too.)     Then, to avoid having to draw frequently repeated images, what if I could scan them into the computer so …

ABC Animals

On March 26, 2018March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Art and Drawing4 Comments

One thing I didn't expect when I started this blog was that I would "meet" so many interesting and nice people (and pets) out there in the "blog world". Along with Foster's "blog friends" we have also found some really cool blogs about art. (Just as a reminder, this did start out to be an "art …

Colored Pencils

On January 27, 2018March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Art and Drawing

I cannot tell you how many colored pencils have passed through my hands in thirty years of teaching. After retiring, one would think I would never want to see another colored pencil again, but... These girls are drawing a background for a play we did in one of my English learner classes, (somewhere around 2010 …
