Faces and Potato Heads

watercolours



On my last birthday I received a potato head card which included sticky backed features that you could choose and place on the card where you liked. There was a surplus of  bits which I have used on my own potato head shapes for these pictures. I like the wild woman the most.


The picture and creatures below were created from the shapes left after the stickers were removed.

A Bird, Two Pigs and Bird Pig


Collage - watercolour backgrounds. The bird drinking tea was added digitally [bird from The Graphics Fairy]
The other pictures are traditional collages using glue. Both the pigs and the bird below were found images, but the bird didn't have a pig head of course. Watercolour backgrounds.

All about a Hat [TAW]

The Take a Word challenge this week is 'All about a hat'.
The top painting of watercolours on paper is from my 'shelter' series - frogs finding shelter. This little froggy has found shelter under a hat.
"Cyril frog needs to shelter
And then he spots a hat
Under he goes, nice and safe
A good place to hide from the cat."


Now the collage below is a little weird, I cannot remember what creature the legs were from, maybe a little pony but the upper half is cat, he is holding a bird and wearing a hat.
Watercolour background and found images of animals

Imaginary Animals Revisited Again/Shape Challenge


I thought I would post a few more imaginary animals for the Sketchbook Challenge as the theme should be changing in a day or so.
I also did this creature using shapes as a shape challenge, the shapes are shown below.

Another one using shapes

and the shape used [the yellow is ink bleed from the other side]

and another creature I created without using shapes
