Scavenger Hunts 118 & 119


Scavenger Hunt 118
ended on February 6. I sketched these on February 4, but didn't get them posted here. Shame on me. (I did get them posted on the Scavenger Hunt.)

Number 6, fruit - I painted these that day so just went ahead and sketched them before eating the grapes.

Number 7 ,gizmo" or "thing-a-ma-jig" - this wooden thing was given to us by my late brother, Powder. You pull the string and the twig turns and rewinds the string the other direction, pull it again and it rewinds again. Hmmm. Number 8, machine - this old churn is to make butter. It is metal with a wooden lid and handle. Lovely perspective, eh? These sketches were done with a Micron 005 in my sketchbook. Probably about an hour for all.

Scavenger Hunt 119
started on February 6 (Larry's Birthday) and ends on Valentine's Day. I am the host but have not sketched yet.
This is the list I came up with:

  • ladder or step stool
  • clock
  • lock
  • tree branch
  • something blue
  • something red
  • sports team logo
  • sole of shoe
  • stove
  • camera
  • piece of pottery or stoneware
  • brush
  • tape measure
  • thermometer
  • teapot
  • mirror (challenge face in mirror)
  • game
  • kitchen sink
  • fence
  • door or gate
  • mop, floor or dish
  • kitchen appliance
  • snack
  • decorative pillow or cushion
  • file cabinet or storage
  • piece of jewelry
Challenges:

- When you do the mirror, add a face in the mirror
- Make a valentine to show us
- Do one of the items in 3-D (clay, play dough, origami, etc. This challenge repeated from Hunt) Recipe for play dough courtesy of Wabbit, Julie:

UNCOOKED PLAY DOH:

3/4 cups flour
3/4 cup salt
3/4 to 1 cup water with preferred color food coloring
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Mix all ingredients. Knead until smooth consistency. Keep it covered and in refrigerator when not using it.

There was also another tip to mix in UNSWEETENED koolaid to make it smell great. Don't know if it's enough to get good color, though.

If you feel like sketching with some buddies for fun, come on over to the Hunts. There are a few rules there, not many. We sketch only from life, that is why we use simple everyday objects that most people have around. The sketchers are from all over the world, so we get to see interesting items. Otherwise you can sketch these items anyway. It is nice to have a list and not have to wonder what to sketch.

This looks like so much fun and less dangerous than running around on the streets looking for a stop sign to steal.

Sheila, it is safer and for lazy bums like me, I can just sit on the couch! Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks fishing guy. The wooden gizmo even has a hole through it for the string. So much work for ???? Guess it makes us think and have something to talk about.
