Sketch Gene's Stuff for Hunt 476, Fun in Bastrop, Photo

Sketching in the big book is pretty much what is on my sketching agenda.  I have sketched about 25 pages of the 300 in a year.  Of course, I didn't take it on our summer trip.  No rush, right?

I sketched with a Micron 01 and added some colored pencil on the shoe.  Gene hardly wears those anymore, but when he does you can see him from far away.  The yellow-green is very bright.  I should have used markers!


Number 4, something with eyes - Gene's new craft needles
Number 5, tool - an awl - Gene is planning on fixing some sandals
Number 6, shoe - toe shoe

Cynthia Bloom is the featured artist at Art Connections Gallery this month.  I'm not a jewelry person, but this looks very collectable....  Pretty stuff.

All sorts of stuff going on in downtown Bastrop.  Friday and Saturday will be the opening of the Christmas lights, special stores, they will have ice skating and snow.  Yes!  Lots of fun things to do.

Bag Blog, yes, egg shells! I picked up sea shells in Michigan on our trip so I would have some for the Scavenger Hunts, but can't find them. Guess they were in a tissue or plastic dish and got tossed. We need to go to the Gulf! Ha. I used to have a nice big abalone shell or two. Carried them around from Chile. Nice and tough.
