Sturdy.

I finally bought myself a proper easel last week. Usually I only use my desk easel, which is fine most of the time, but once I'm sitting a heavy board on it and extending it over the edge of my desk, the whole thing just overbalances and topples if you breath wrong. So, it's nice to be able to work on a large artwork without having to tiptoe around it for fear of a crash-bang disaster. (Even if it does take up even more room in my little 3 x 3m studio.)

I was hoping to enter this piece in a drawing show, but now I'm saving it for something a little later in the year, which will allow me plenty of time to get obsessive over little details. I just need to remember come summertime, that the top of the easel extends just up between the blades of my ceiling fan, or the crash-bang disasters will return...
