The theme for this month’s “Sketch With Me” virtual sketchcrawl group on Facebook is “NEW”. As in new beginnings, new ideas, new techniques, new locations, new attitudes, new insights . . .
I decided to keep it simple — and quite literal — and drew some recent purchases. Many things we wish to buy cannot be found locally in the small towns nearby, and we don’t like to shop in Houston or even College Station, which is more geared towards college kids. So for that reason as well as to save money, we do a lot of online shopping.
Except for that colorful spatula made of bamboo — We found that at Bu-cee’s when we stopped to buy gas. We needed a new spatula and couldn’t resist the patterns of natural dyes! It also has a vary narrow edge so it actually works better than our old worn-out one.
Oh, and the Irn-Bru was purchased in College Station. Just because I heard about it from Scottish books and our daughters’s trip to Scotland; it was an impulse-buy of curiosity.
And these are the final pages in this sketchbook, so on to a new one . . .
By the way, that skirt I just bought? It is sewn from discarded Indian silk saris by a company called DarnGoodYarn. They sell yarns that are made from discarded saris as well. Normally skirts sell for $69 and more, but the stock that hasn’t sold can be purchased for $20! You just let them know a range of colors you prefer and allow them to select for you.
