Inspire Me Thursday is taking a break this week, so I’m doing my first work for Illustration Friday (which I’ve been meaning to do for a while). Their topic for this week is “seed”, which fits in nicely with the “scientific” works I’ve been doing lately.
My entries are both watercolours:
“Seed Patterns” “Seeds”
Let me know what you think!
Okay, I must admit – this topic really did make me ponder the little promise I made to myself about participating in *every* topic for Inspire Me Thursday. At first I had NO idea what I was going to do for this topic.
After a bit of thinking, I remembered and idea I had a while ago. Matt and I have a great book with photographs ranging from the microscopic level to pictures of outer space. A while ago I thought some of the pictures in the book would be a really good inspiration for abstract painting – many of the images are quite abstract already.
This week’s theme for Inspire Me Thursday is “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle”.
We always get lots of junk mail at our place (which Matt loves by the way!). We always recycle but this week I recycled the junk mail in a more interesting way:
This week’s Inspire Me Thursday topic was to challenge us to make an ordinary envelope into a work of art.
As it happens, tomorrow is Mum’s birthday, so I decided to make a birthday card and matching envelope for her.
Here’s how it turned out… (and let’s hope that Mum doesn’t read this post before tomorrow – although it’s not very likely!):
OH! OH YES! OH GOD! OH GOD YES! YES! YES! OH YES! OH! OH! OH! YES! YYYYYEEEEESSSSS!
I don’t know what you’re thinking, but in case you’re wondering, that was me – after watching the first episode of the last season of the best frakkin’ show on television: Battlestar Galactica.
