I love Kate Bingaman-Burt’s Obsessive Consumption series (I snapped up this piece at Crafty Wonderland in April) and I am very excited for her show at Reading Frenzy, which is opening tonight!

Kate will be live-drawing the whole evening (yes!!). She says,

I am asking people to bring in their favorite (smallish) object and/or something they purchased today and/or a receipt from their wallet and I will draw it tonight for free! I promise to draw until my hand cramps and there is a smile on every face!

She has some rad photos of the installation (co-starring many of her faithful PSU students!) here in her flickr and I am sure there will be many many more after tonight…

I hope you have a lovely weekend! Mine is shaping up to be pretty mellow, especially since it’s so hot: cooking snap peas and greens from the garden tonight, sewing and work stuff tomorrow, food on sticks at a friend’s barbecue Saturday, and hopefully some cold white wine, neighborhood walks, and fireworks watching in the mix too!
