Carol, Natalie, Peggy and Alice examine a sketchbook. I wonder who finally grabbed it? ;-) |
USk Seattle held its sixth annual Gab & Grab this morning. Held
at a public library, it’s an opportunity for show-and-tell of our
favorite sketch supplies and a place to swap books and materials we are no
longer using.
I love sharing and reusing resources this way, and it’s
always fun to hear about new tools and materials people have discovered. In fact,
I had fully intended to document the event by sketching it like I did last year, but I got so involved in listening to the
show & tell and taking photos that (gasp!) I forgot to sketch!
Thanks to everyone who brought in things to share and for
participating!

Good grabbin'! This wasn't all of it -- some of the goods had already been snapped up by the time I took this photo! |
