365 Days of Art – More Quirky Creatures
….days 163, 164 and 165
Carla Sonheim had us make our own sidewalk cracks using a recipe that she devised. I tried making one in London and from that I looked for a critter or animal that I could cut out and fill in with marks and colour. From one sheet of paper I managed to find two ‘abstract’ animals. One is a dog of sorts and the other a sitting elephant.
I’m really enjoying sketching with graphite pencils and blending stumps. I’ve also been inspired by Sophie Favre’s clay sculptures that I saw in London and I created a mouse using her style.

One Word Photo Challenge – Rhinoceros
….thanks to Tourmaline for hosting the One Word Challenge
Rhinoceros?!!! Who has photos of rhinos? I’ve never been on safari but I have been to the zoo and I just happen to have some heavy duty back end shots of these magnificent creatures.

Developing More Characters
….days 141 to 143 of 365 Days of Art
Over the long weekend I was totally engrossed in creating these collage characters made from art papers. The first thing I had to do was create more art paper because I had left my collage papers at home. Out came the watercolour paper and my watercolour set and I went to town. 
Once they dried I cut out random shapes in different sizes and then I started to play. Here are three more ‘characters’ that I created from the cut out shapes.
