Contest: Can You Identify a Common Thread in the Drawings in This Post?

First thing this morning I went to my beloved critique group at BookWorks.  During the session I drew Frank's profile and also Margaret's fantastic papier mache sculpture "Tessie."  I am going to buy/trade with Margaret, so Tessie is coming to live with me!  To learn more about Margaret's work check out her blog at http://margaretcouchcogswell.blogspot.com/.

Also at crit group I drew Heather's bag, which Fran and I made for her a few months ago.  Her bag is all text, black and white, really really cool.  You can read about her bag at www.weRpiecework.blogspot.com.  I believe her bag is featured in the last post I've made. ( I really AM going to start posting to that blog again.  We've made many things lately that deserve posts.  The 10,000 have sort of absorbed all the time I have available for blog posting.)

Below Heather's bag is a large hornet's nest that I just drew a few minutes ago while walking down from halfway up Jones Mountain.  All the leaves had fallen off the branches around the nest.  The nest looks sort of like a mummy's head, both in the drawing and in real life.

This afternoon I found myself in City Bakery for my weekly fix of a turkey-avocado-bacon on ciabatta, standing outside the bakery case staring in while waiting for our sandwiches.  I drew some nice looking vanilla cheesecake and a pile of chocolate eclairs.  Reminded me of how when I was teaching drawing class at the college I used to go to the grocery and buy a supply of the most lurid colors of cupcakes I could find and bring them to class so the students could do Wayne Thiebault-like pastel drawings of them.
