Nature's Bounty

This is a yellow zucchini and baby crookneck summer squash from a neighbor's garden. I have never heard of yellow zucchini before, so I was interested in seeing it. I added the sugar plum tomatoes for a contrasting color.

Coptic Stitch Book

I have been taking great bookmaking classes at the La Jolla Library. The last one for the season was the second of two for making a book with Coptic binding. Last month we made the covers and prepared the signatures, and this month we did the stitching. I have never tried to make a Coptic stitch book before as it always seemed too mysterious. But Bhavna Mehta made it easy (ok, maybe not easy, but accessible). I made a few mistakes in the stitching, but overall I'm very pleased with this book and will probably be making more of them. I'm looking forward to the classes resuming in the fall.

Spanish Village Broken Pot

For our First Friday Extra Credit Sketchcrawl in Spanish Village of Balboa Park, I found this pot held together with rope. It looks like it is made of cement and has been there for a long time. Heck, it had to have been old when the rope was added, and the rope looks like it's really old, too. It kind of cracked me up and seemed like a good sketch subject.

#CreativeSprint Day 26

"Create a Rainbow". I thought of a number of things to do, but since I recently got a new watercolor palette with beautiful quality colors, I made one with my new paints. I haven't done many of the prompts but I have enjoyed seeing the works of several of my friends.
