Scissors
Lately I’ve been remembering my mother by sketching objects in Inkscape that remind me of her. My mom worked on a heavy duty sewing machine quite a lot when I was a kid. She always had a fine set of scissors that I would use from time to time for really horrible-for-scissors tasks, like cutting wires, and she would get really upset. Now that I have fine tools of my own, it makes perfect sense why she was so upset. In this and many other ways she taught me to appreciate delicate instruments of creation and work. Thanks, Mom!

Great stuff!!! Would love to see a tutorial on how to do something like this. What tool in Inkscape do you use to make the lines/scribbles?
I’d love to, JMG. Here, I’m really just using Inkscape as a sketchpad. I’m using a Wacom tablet in order to draw as if I was using a real pen. There are also some great filters and effects if you wanted to create a drawing effect starting with a photo. I’ll look at making a tutorial soon. Thanks for the comment! John
