Shape Challenge & RS 45-47

Two shape challenges - set by myself for myself. I used the scrap of paper shown below for the one directly above. For the top one I used something similar except it was card and not as curved.

Three more rolling stamps, two are textured wallpapers. These make lovely rolling stamps.

The middle on is made from fun foam, quite intricate, inspired by the branches of a tree. As you can see in the picture I drew the pattern on the foam before cutting.

The bottom roller is one flower, a large flower cut from wallpaper, you could probably make this one as a flat stamp if you preferred but it would take up less room as a roller.

Doodles and IF

A couple of doodly patterns above.

 below - I entered this picture for the Illustration Friday challenge - 'disguise'.

It is also a picture from the shape challenge. A friend gave me a little spoon to make a picture with,  in the centre the spoons are 'disguised' as people.

Is anyone else interested in doing a shape challenge, either you find your own shape to make a picture with or I could suggest a shape to use? You could make a pattern or use the shape to make something realistic, anything goes.

A kind of flower?

I used a 'found' shape to draw round for the 'flowers', I can't remember what it was exactly but it wasn't a flower shape. With a couple of friends, we have started a shape challenge, each week one of us finds a shape and we have to draw something with it. The flowers above were drawn before the challenge started, I have been doing this kind of thing for sometime usually when I want to draw something but cannot think what to do.

I've altered the picture digitally - below

I've been away for a week and one of the places I visited was Highgate Cemetery in London. I love the old Victorian cemeteries with the overgrown ivy
