found, carried, and created
“I see you created —” Nia considers the bag’s catch and strap.
“— a play-fuhhhl penguin perch — for our leaf purse!” Thalia beams. “The clahhhhs-pah is — a lehhh-n-tihl.”
“And…” Calliope grins, “… an oak leaf stem fashions the handle. It’s interesting… how big… the little things shine.”
Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen.
~John Steinbeck
A note from LoveLetterist:
Carrying around the idea of incorporating tangible objects into my drawings, I picked a leaf while romping in the wild with Henny. I folded it...
Kinda looks like a purse, I thought, then snagged a stem to go with it.
The idea rested on studio's table for a day or two.
While rummaging through the pantry for dinner supplies, I came across a bag of lentils.
Hmmm...
Let me investigate...
I like it!
It was just the nudge I needed to draw a purse-toting penguin.
Do you think it's silly?
Me too!
Isn't that grand?
I am loving the mixed medium art you create, Gail. Your creativity shines. Silly is, indeed grand!
