Keys Plastic Wood Sketches

 I sketched yesterday and then never got around to posting.  Out of sight, out of mind.  


Number 3 set of keys - for garage inside doors, laminated plastic marker.  Number 4 plastic - a white gel pen and Number 5 wood - some coasters from Peru I think.  Wooden with glass over the paintings.

These are in the large Canson Mixed Media sketchbook done with a Micron 03.

Not much going on with the cold spell.  All OK here.  Looks like another cold weekend coming but no moisture involved.

What is this?



What is this?  I guess if you can read my small writing you will see it is a jar opener.  It is complicated both to sketch and to use.  When you get it on the jar correctly, the jar opens with very minimal pressure.  I works well!

For Scavenger Hunt From Life 181    https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-181-jan-21-feb-2.8642/

I sketched in the large Canson Mixed Media sketchbook with a Micron 02 black and Micron 005 red.

I think Joanna gave us this opener.

Stay warm, hope all goes well during the predicted storms.  We are ready.

Smooth Sketch

A new Hunt calls for a quick sketch.  I sketched at my computer last night.  This is in the Ohuhu mix media sketchbook again.  I used the Ohuhu pen and watercolors.  My watercolor wash was not too smooth but the cup is.  It is made of metal.

Number 1 smooth - my drink cup  I don't like drinking out of plastic or most metal but I have found this cup acceptable.  It keeps my drinks cold.  I still prefer glass for drinking and storing iced tea or juice.  I prefer aluminum cans to plastic for soft drinks, cokes, as we say in our day.  All soft drinks were "coke".  In high school we always said, "Do you want a coke?"  Other areas people call them soft drinks, pop or soda, right?
