Alumni Show and Cultural Fair

Just returned from my adventures among the wide array of folks who live in this city. And I must admit, as much as I hate living in the city, being close to events such as this is pretty neat.
There were all kinds of vendors and interesting Fair-goers, who may unwittingly embedded their image so much in to my brain that I draw them later... (On a side note: new graphite pencils! They're so lovely)
Also, the alumni art gallery was great! I wasn't able to take any photos (I arrived late; the main crowd had left and it would have been awkward.... just a bit), but trust me, it was great. There was a lot of diversity in what people had submitted. There were a few ceramic pieces, several fiber ones (It looked like a mixture of knitting and sewing with yards, which is an impressive mixture) and many pen drawings and paintings. My mom surprised me by submitting two more of my pieces; an oil on wood cookie and colored pencil on... well, you'll see ;)

Unfortunately, my best version of this is in quarantine for bug damage :(

The second one is on an artists' conk, which is now one of my favorite mediums. I seek them out every time I'm in the woods (within reason of course!). Still working on a way to get rid of the various insects that reside within, just gluing the bottom and sealing it doesn't appear to be enough, and I"m rather loathe to using pesticides or something like that on them... Once I have free time from college and such I'll figure something out ;)
Speaking of college, gotta run; and exam and turtle quiz this week, eep!
