scavenge with friends

We never really know where the whims of Broadstrokes members will take us.

M had been encouraging/suggesting/pushing us to do a creative scavenger hunt since November 2013.

Once the weather turned cooler, we complied.

Intructions were issued at a breakfast meeting.

We were able to draw, photograph or collect items listed.

Paired partners were assigned and off we went.

Some of us began our collection at the table before we left. Planning is paramount, when our competitive natures emerge.

This photo ticked off the square shape listing.

5 funky fashions.... No problem with friendly natives happy to oblige.

We needed to collect somthing from the Qld Art Gallery or GOMA. Whilst there we were able to tick off a few other items.

Fan

Shadows at 1130

And a very nice morning tea in the cafe. Okay, it wasn't listed, but we were thirsty and peckish by then.

On the walk back to our reconnaisance point, we had 2 tricky items to find.

Ghoulish. What do you think?

This close up from the same piece of street sculpture may work better?

..... And finally graffiti. My partner J decided to risk all and create her own.

The finished piece left for posterity, or until the next rain shower.

Note the seedy authenticity of the discarded cigarette butts. (Not ours)

Lunch was a cheerful sharing affair. One clever pair completed their mission in just one block. They did more drawing than us.

To our disappointment, there were no prizes. I guess our heightened observational powers and cameraderie were enough to make us all winners. (Aw shucks)

Next time J and I are going to set the rules!!
