Well, yes, of course I’ll use soap every day in May…but that’s not what this post is about. I read that the Every Day in May group was doing a daily sketch from the Everyday Matters (EDM) list. I had so much fun with EDM in 2006 when I first started art-blogging so despite being in the middle of a dozen different things I decided to join in.
They started with #101 – Draw a bar of soap. I searched the house and had no bars of soap so I drew my favorite liquid hand soap from Trader Joes. It’s Lemongrass-Sage and it smells wonderful!
I hadn’t used my Pentel Brush Pen in a long time and I thought I remembered that it doesn’t bleed when you add watercolor. No such luck. Or maybe I didn’t wait long enough for it to dry? Just for fun, here’s my original EDM #101 bar of soap, just for fun.

I took part in EDiM last year, but am too busy this one. Instead I’ll enjoy your daily drawings.

Both your soaps look like a lot of fun.

“of course I’ll use soap every day in May” – you crack me up! And not to have a single bar of soap in your house. . . is that sort of like having no dial phones or face clocks?

Haha. Yes, I guess it is, and in fact I do not have a single clock in my house. I wear a digital watch and use my iphone when I need an alarm clock. And my phones are all digital too. Funny, hadn’t thought of that. The only clock I had turned into a source of mystery which I wrote about here: “Help! My house is haunted!”.

Yes, Jana, what is it with that? I have a Pentel brush pen with the little refills that you punch in. Mine are supposed to be waterproof, but I find that some are and some are not. I don’t know whether it’s the refill or the humidity or what. Did you try one and let it sit awhile before adding watercolor? What I do, now, is test it on paper, first, to see what mood it is in…

I think I’ll save mine for either drawing only or drawing on top of already painted pages. Jana
