It’s amazing how a medallion like this can dress up the dreariest of fences. It certainly caught my eye as I was walking home from the library.

365 Days of Art – Day 59
….more examples of Dr. Seuss characters
Dr. Seuss often employed long eyelashes with his characters and loved exaggerated features like the feathers on the head of this bird and the long intertwining legs.
365 Days of Art – Day 58
…..planning on creating a Dr. Seuss like character
For one of my year long assignments with Carla Sonheim I’m suppose to come up with my own Dr. Seuss like character. I decided to study some of Dr. Seuss’ illustrations and see what common characteristics they have. One is the u shape inside the large oval eyes that he uses for most of his characters. The mouth line is just a simple curve ending with a curved cheek line. Here are two practice drawings that I copied from his book What Pet Should I Get?

Complicated Colour Fields – Part 2
A couple of weeks ago I showed you a project that I started with Carla Sonheim called Complicated Colour Fields – Part 1. You can see what I made here.
The following week I had to cover the entire piece with different bands of acrylic colour and then sand away some of the paint, once it dried, to bring back some of the designs from below. I did that but very little of the original patterns showed through. I decided to share it with you because this is called 365 Days of Art, not 365 Days of Great Art. Some days you won’t get what you hoped for and sometimes it’s more than you hoped for.
For me these two pieces were a bit of a disappointment but I can see using them either has a backdrop for another art project or cut up or torn up for a collage piece. Do you have any suggestions for me?
March Square – Celebrating Canada’s 150th
,,,,,thanks to Becky B for hosting March Square
Some of the quilts at Friday’s quilting show at Neilson Park Creative Centre clearly had been made to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday. This was the centre of a larger quilt and I’m wishing I had taken a photo of the entire piece.
Cee’s Odd Ball Challenge – March 25, 2018
….thanks to Cee for hosting the Odd Ball Challenge
I loved this unusual little ballet dancer in the middle of the quilting show I attended on Friday. I think she qualified for the show because she was made with leftover quilting threads.
A Square of Critters

At the quilting show I fell in love with this quilt. It’s full of squares within a square.
Square Within a Square
….thanks to Becky B for hosting March Square
Yesterday I went to a Quilting show at the Neilson Park Creative Centre. I could easily finish off this challenge with nothing but quilting squares but I’ll try to be more creative than that.
Tea Square
….thanks to Becky B for hosting March Square
I went to a quilting show today and found this adorable tea cosy. It’s not square but it is slightly round.
