Day 276 - 365/2014

Day Two Hundred Seventy-Six

Tough pain day today -- all I've done is add some color to the goat boyfriend collage/transfer/whatever it is.

And last evening Terri brought Peggy and me our bowling pins for an upcoming altered bowling pins show.  I am starting to think about what I could do with mine...not paint it, that's for sure!

I took out the color, scanned the image, and made some small cut out paper bowling pins to play around with as an aid with ideas and designs.

Now I can draw on them, cut them apart and reassemble them, etc. with a somewhat realistic feeling for the shape of the pin.

Day Two Hundred Seventy-Four

Oh yeah...this guy!  I was poking around in some stacks near my desk and there he was.  I need to clean house a bit more tonight, so this is what I have been working on this afternoon.  I gave him green horns (in several shades of green), yellow eyes (two shades of yellow) and then I started to outline him in what I thought was a black oil pencil, but it turned out to be indigo blue...I could see the difference when I touched it to the left horn.  I sharpened up a black Prismacolor and got to work.  I think it's not too bad.

I think I might like to gray down the background slightly, (or maybe pale blue it), but I really like the papers that make up the fabric of his shirt and the blue from the original painting (that I did in an acrylics class) for the sky...I don't want to lose too much of that.
