Antique Graphite Drawing of Decorative Borders pencil doodles While one of these days

While one of these days I vow to try my hand at woodworking

and a little bleeding around the red and black edges on the pips--all at a miniature scale (cards measure 1 1/4" x 1 3/4"

and a small split in the wood of one shoe

and the great steeple on that church

Antique Graphite Drawing of Decorative Borders pencil doodles While one of these daysI just thought this was lovely I assume just done as a practice exercise of sorts, though perhaps working out just the right border to draw, or paint or wallpaper or carve? around something special. Whatever the case, quite a lot of work went into this alone! 7 3 4 x 5 3 4. Graphite on paper. Fairly good condition, with general smudging soiling and unevenness to the top edge.
