Ai, thanks. Now the group can get back to regular sketching. We will have a model this week. Jade, thanks so much. Your sketch of the crochet berry is so cute! Great idea to make it into a gift card.

Ai, now that you mention it they are a zebra and a giraffe (without a long neck). Cute anyway! Fletch, thanks. I left out some of the rigging on the ship, so I added it on my copy...it looked too bare. Arts on Terry is over. Our group project was really a big hit with the people attending...

Ai, thanks. The Ambrose didn't have as much character as your boats, but it was different from what we have around here. I still have to put in some of the rigging. Your containers look good...nice variation in the shading on the colors of the containers. What are the little characters you...

Robin, thanks so much! Jade, in NYC is hard if you don't like crowds, but you can find some quieter areas. Thanks for asking...my back is feeling a lot better...not as achy. Here are my sketches from NYC today. We were in the Southtreet Seaport area today. 2 - solid bridge - watercolors and...

Vivien, thanks. I have a new appreciation for artists who work large. ;) Great job on the mushrooms, bananas, and tomatoes in your sketchbook. I love the details on the mushrooms. Hope you stormy weather is finished. Sorry your gaffs got hammered. Jo, thank you. Glad you got the light repaired...

Ned, yikes!!! I hope you stayed far enough away from the poison oak! Nice sketch of it. Ai, thanks. I'm not sure how they are going to display these sculptures at the show, so I made sure that the tic-tac box could be viewed from every side. I even painted the bottom...just in case. lol The...

Robin, the tic tac box is nearly done. Yay!! Ned, I hate when I get all ready to sketch and then the car, person, animal, vehicle moves or is blocked. It happens all the time. lol Jade, that sweetie wouldn't cause an allergic reaction, would she? Been working on the giant tic tac box most of...

Jo, thanks. I was up working on the tic-tac container until 11:30 last night. It is so big and I can only work on one part at a time and wait for that to dry before rolling it over. lol I've never worked with something 3-D before. lol Pine Cone, focusing on a small part is a good idea. Too bad...

Jo, I haven't seen anything posted by Jeanne in a while. Do you hear from her? Jade, it is always fun to have new members join us and inspire us.

Ai, we measured and calculated the size each one would have to be. Then we found cardboard and pieced it together to get the size we needed. Each of us made a box or cylinder that was in proportion to what we were making. I was lucky that I didn't have to do too much piecing together. We covered...

EP too! I wonder where she disappeared to?

My Tuesday night sketch group is participating in a show on Sunday. Each year we do some kind of art project. This year we are doing LARGE plaster of Paris replicas of ordinary things. I am doing a Tic Tac box. Someone did a large toothpaste tube, another a giant hair spray can, a large tuna...

Ai, what a great, colorful still life. You do so well with the oil pastels!! I love the vibrancy of the veggies and the book cover with the dark background you included.

Ai, Ned, Jade, Pine Cone, Vivien, Fletch, and Jo it is good to know that we all seem to have stuck to sketching over the years and have become friends in the process. I treasure this Scavenger Hunt family!!

Joe, HI! Jo, thanks so much. I can't believe this hunt is almost over. Where did the time go? Will go check out the new hunt now.
