The challenge a week or so ago was to draw a favorite cooking tool. I'm not much of a cook. And I don't have alot of tools other than the basics. No fancy gadgets hang out in my kitchen.I dug out an old, old favorite item. It's a steel, side-crank flour sifter. It's got the turning metal spirals inside and a screen mesh on the bottom. It works great!
About once a year I use it to sift flour for cookies or cake or something.

Like what you have done with this. I can smell the cookies baking already. My daughter works for a small college in Portland.

Awesome painting of your sifter! I had one like it..this looks really great!
Oh, this is great. The colours are fantastic. Ive never seen or heard of one in my life but it looks great.
Very nice. Great shine on the sifter!
I'm immediately transported back to the kitchen at 239 and the drawer with the big old flour bin...is this THAT sifter??
Omigosh, I've got one of these somewhere! You did a terrific job--love the color!
I have one sort of like this too. Great use of color in the reflections.
My what a wonderful rendition. I love this. I have one too, and about the only time, I use it is for Holiday baking.
What a smile this drawing brought to me...so realistic...nice artistic interpretation of the metal! WAy to Go! :)
It's true, rarely used but great to have when the time comes. Love your sketch.
My mom had one of those! I always got to do the sifting when she baked, thought it was so much fun back then. This is lovely - terrific colors - perfect.
You've done a beautiful job on this one. We used to have one but it wasn't really better than an ordinary hand sieve. Not that I bother sieving at all now.
Thanks everyone for visiting and leaving a comment. Good to hear from you. I can't remember when or where I got this sifter. I may have bought it somewhere because it reminded me of the one we had at home - I don't think it's the original!
This is beautifully painted Mary! I love it and I have one just like it!
