For Scavenger Hunt 630 http://www.wetcanvas.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1480378
We started the Hunts in 2006. A few of us have been around the whole time and we have had many artists come in and out. I use the Hunts to keep me sketching. I feel guilty if I don't take part in each one. Some of the artists drop in to refresh their drawing skills and then go off to paint or other skills like pottery or jewelry. A fine group of artists.
There are many forums on wetcanvas.com with many sub forums. You don't have to join to look around. It is confusing at first with all the choices. For example, Pastels to Soft Pastels and Oil Pastels, Plein Air, Sketching, Watercolor, Photography, Debate, Tools for painting or sculpting, etc. You can find most media and a group to have fun with.
They are changing format which will mean a learning curve for us old timers. We will see how that goes.
For this Hunt:
Number 5, cutting - top black can opener that cuts the lid with no sharp edge but leaves a sharp edge on the can ... which is better?
Number 6, opening - the metal can opener with the beer can opener and bottle cap opener
Number 7, with holes - the yellow lemon squeezer
Number 8, protects - pot holder, it is red and blue woven
Number 9, measures - electronic meat thermometer

They have info on many techniques and media. You will find an interest I bet.

Fun to see all your gadgets in one sketch! We have had so many people pass through the hunts and it is great to see that some of us have stuck around a long time...maybe with a little hiatus, but then some of them return. It is like coming back to your family.
Thanks, Joan. I agree about family.
Thinking about all the people who have sketched with you at Wet Canvas made me think of the old bloggers. Most of those are gone now. My list of people I follow could be cut to one - you.
Bag Blog, you are right about the bloggers, not many left. I still like my blog because I have control of what I put there with no other junk. Facebook and Instagram let me see what they think I should see. So irritating. So, I just use my blog pretty much like my journal and to keep records. I can go back and see what we did on pretty much any week since 2006. People want instant gratification like Twitter.
