Agate Chair, Sketch 093
Loose sketch; wobbly chair
Agate chair
The carvings at the end of the chair arms are lions and I have the blurry photo to prove it.
Carved agate lions
Sketch 093: Agate Chair by Harold Van Pelt, in an exhibit at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. Description at the museum: “This Louis XIV-style agate chair was carved from one huge Brazilian agate boulder.”
Row of Chairs, Sketch 092
Look like patio chairs
Probably from a Texas courthouse
Sketch 092: Row of Chairs. I don’t remember seeing a label with any information next to these chairs, but they certainly look as if they came out of a Texas courthouse. These chairs are in Blanco, Texas.
Sewing Chair, Sketch 091
Seat angle could be better
I took a serger class at Sew Much More (Austin, Texas) earlier today. They provide these wonderful chairs for the students. I’d love have such a chair, but that won’t happen as long as I spend all my money on fabric!
Sewing Chair, so comfortable

Foldable Chair, Sketch 090
A straight-on view is not such a good one for sketching. That’s not what I had in mind when I photographed the chair. The Samurai exhibit allowed photos without flash. I used a high ISO, which meant a slow shutter speed, which led to blurry photos as I could not keep the camera steady enough for a clear image. This chair photo is about the only exhibit photo I took that wasn’t blurry.
