I will post my sketches here for now. They are done with a Micron 005 pen
#1, a bell. This is a bell from Bolivia, about 3 inches tall made of metal. 10 minutes or so.
#2, a container of pencils, pens, etc. A wooden cup, again from Bolivia, that sits on my desk. 15 minutes.
#3, thermometer and #4, the bottom of something. The thermometer is a rectangle, not a trapezoid. :( 10 minutes and the stapler bottom about 10 minutes as well.
#5, a magazine. 15 minutes
#6, a bowl of something. Little wooden bowls from Bolivia with red and black beans that we used for counters when we played "Telefunken", a progressive rummy game. When we teach this game, everyone says we make the rules as we go because it has an abundance of rules. It is a very simple game and only takes a few hands to catch on to ALL the rules. It is fun for up to 8 people. You need about 4 decks of cards for that many players.
#7, something green. One of the last two live plants in the house. Most can't survive the lack of care when we travel so much. This corn plant keeps hanging on.

Jo, I like the stapler - you did a nice job. Actually, as I was looking through these I was reminded of how these hunts have improved your drawing!
Nice job.
Rose, thanks. Yours was great as well. I wonder what tickled our fancy about staplers. Hmm.
I just tried WetCanvas and they are still having problems. I was only going to look today. Yesterday I didn't do any sketches for the hunts. My sister and I were experimenting with doing our first "pours" with watercolor, a process that involved LOTS of time waiting for things to dry. Your group of sketches is great. I like the bell (as always an unusual one from you) and the vase with art materials.
Joan, I just got to post on wetcanvas. Sounds like your pouring was fun. I have such a problem with waiting for watercolor to dry. I'll go check your blog for updates. :) Thanks for the visit.
Glancing at the sketches, I thought the stapler was a (an?) harmonica. Then, I saw the "bottom of something" tag and wondered how you could really tell the bottom from the top of the harmonica. Then, I saw the "stapler" tag and realized it really was a stapler. No harmonica to be found. Ha!
Joanna, now that I look at the sketch, it does sort of look like a harmonica. I don't have one anymore and we have to sketch from life. :) I guess I won't be sketching one.
Hugs..
