Sketching CRAP

It was an absolutely fabulous day of sketching at the Creative Recycled Art Projects show at WICA yesterday! So MUCH to sketch that it was almost overwhelming. I chose by color (of course) even though there were many things just as interesting which were less so. Anyway, here are projects done by Sara Saltee (a collage box), Janet C. Lewis (a costume mannequin  ), Sarah Dial Primrose (a collage of "dead" CRAP), Liesel Lund (a collage necklace), Natalie Olsen (a woven apron), Janet Phiefer (a recycled metal and button sculpture), and Deborah Eimers (a gourd and crow skull bowl). Many, many other equally exciting pieces, too!

Sketching at Casey's Crafts

This week, Whidbey Island Sketchers headed to Casey's Crafts. Surrounded by all sorts of ribbons, fabric, notions, paint and supplies we marshaled our wits to figure out in all the visual smorgasbord we each wanted to draw. I found this stack of plaid fabrics all color coordinated and ready for someone's project. Normally I don't choose to draw things that are so repetitive but for some reason this just looked like fun. Thanks Lori for letting us sketch in your store!

Sketching Costumes

This was my 2nd year getting to go sketch at WICA's costume loft. Oh my! What temptations to draw on every side! I found this hat and just had to sketch it. It was covered with silk roses of all shades and had a peacock feather artistically draping over the brim. What fun! Thanks so much Judith for setting this up!
