Every winter, USk Seattle substitutes the Gab & Grab for
one of our Friday sketch outings. It’s a favorite among long-time members and always
brings in new faces, too. Today we welcomed newcomers Pat and Bo and hope to
see them at future outings when we actually sketch together!
For our fourth annual event, participants were invited to
“gab” about their choice of these topics: a new tool; a favorite bag; a
favorite art technique book; or an art tip learned in a class, book or from
another sketcher.
The “grab” portion of the event wasn’t nearly as
uncivilized as it sounds (although when I spotted the Jedi vs. Sith pencil box, I called dibs immediately!). Everyone brought unneeded art
supplies or books to trade or give away. Dave generously gave away a couple
sets of his laser-crafted ornaments, too.
Thanks to everyone who shared information and
supplies!

Good article and photos! I have a cold and didn't think I should come. But I was disappointed! I had stuff to bring, too. I probably would not have fought you for the pencil case as the presence of the Jedi doesn't out-way that of the Sith. I have a favorite Yoda pencil case and that's enough.
ReplyDeleteWe missed you! Glad to hear you wouldn't have fought me for the pencil box -- could have been the first ugly scene at a USk gathering. ;-)
