The Blog Hop, that is. Today's the day for The Art of Wild Abandonment's blog hop. Everyone participating has taken the same online art workshop that I am taking right now, though most of them took it last month when it first opened up, while I'm just getting started. Though we all completed projects based on the same basic instructions, we each ended up with something uniquely our own, so we thought it would be fun to hop from one blog to the next, to see what everyone came up with. Here are a few of the things I've done so far.
For our first lesson, on making thumbnail sketches, Junelle sent us to the store for some radishes! Then she gave us permission to go crazy with them -- to imagine them doing things that radishes don't normally do. Who knew radishes could be so much fun?
She then made us do another whole page of thumbnails, but this time we were to draw things around our house or garden that we really love. Obviously I have a thing for colorful kitchen pottery and ceramics.
From there we moved on to drawing these crazy cute little fat owls. Remind you of anyone?
I love the extra layer of crumpled paper that we added to the wings, and let flip up at the tips.
Ummmmm, cupcakes!
Here's my most recent project, called "Spring Line Up." It's supposed to be all about the things we hope to do or accomplish or bring into our lives this spring. My main goal is to release my inner artist!
I still have several more lessons to go before I complete week one, and then there are two more weeks to go after that (woohoo!). I'll be kinda sad when it's over. Don't know when I've had this much fun!
Next stop on the blog hop after me is
Sherry L. Coogan, so hop on over to see what she was inspired to create! The one before me was
Goog Guarino, and if you wish to go back and start from the very beginning, the first stop (and organizer of this wonderful event) is
Claire Smillie. Have fun everyone, and many thanks to Claire for coming up with the idea!
