Whose journal am I reading?

June 12, 2012

Queen Victoria’s journal – particularly her drawings, which I found charming. This serves as a reminder to me to Draw Something Every Day. Not that my sketchbooks will be preserved like Queen Vickie’s are. Just because.

Here are some samples of HRH’s work:

Referred to this site by Brain Pickings (always interesting postings)

Bonus material on Queen Victoria: I did see her knickers at the Kent State Museum. Think Victoria’s Tent Sale rather than Victoria’s Secret.

I still miss my man, but my aim is getting better.
