Mississippi Ave.

As Katura said, we had a good group for today's chilly, but sunny sketching event. Here are some photos of the sketchers who stayed for lunch and sketchbook sharing at Laughing Planet.

Notice the bright, glaring sunshine. But how did I leave out the precious, Baby Magpie?

Here's my sketchy sketch done on the patio of Muddy's, looking toward the ReBuilding center.

Thanks, everyone, for such a good turnout!

Shiny Things at the ReBuilding Center

Lovely sketchcrawl today, great meeting some new sketchers as well as hanging out with old buddies.

The fabulous forest facade of the ReBuilding Center was just too daunting for me today, so I ended up exploring light and shadow on the rows and rows of salvaged hardware inside the building.

A shelf full of globe-shaped lampshades...

A single lighting fixture in an intermediate state of disassembly...

And sinks, sinks, sinks!

I managed to get myself into such a "shiny thing" mindset that I ended up sketching one of the metal handrails on the bus on the way home. Good times! Glad we got to explore that amazing treasure-trove of building materials.
