Instead of buying candy I been saving my allowance for Summer Camp – Carla Sonheim’s Summer Art Camp.  As you might have guessed by now I LOVE Carla, her classes and emphasis on having fun with art.  The first camp assignment is drawing 3 crabs (better than 12 princes!) with non-dominant hand and then a water-color of sea shells (to come).

*Soft-shell crab is a culinary term for crabs which have recently molted their old exoskeleton and are still soft.^[1] This means that almost the entire animal can be eaten, rather than having to shell the animal to reach the meat.^[2] The exceptions are the mouthparts, the gills and the abdomen, which must be discarded.^[3] The remaining, edible part of the crab is typically deep fried.^{[2] Wikipedia}
