HAIRY TALES! Weeks 3 and 4 - Nexus Art Cafe



Well, over the past week and a half I have been so busy painting my Rhino for Rhino Mania (Wild in Art) that I've not been able to be a physical presence in Nexus but my research into hair has still been at the forefront of my mind.

My project seems to be growing and evolving the more I read and delve into this subject area. I'm currently reading Head to Toe by Joe Orton, have been looking at Rudyard Kipling stories and traditional fairy tales. I will be running a felt making workshop sometime in March (look out for the date on my blog) and this will be linked with story-telling and a sense of community and family.

Thanks to everyone who has so far participated in my Drawing Project, 'The Enchanted Box.' I have about 30/40 miniature drawings and I've been delighted, suprised and tickled by your drawings and thoughts on the theme Fairy Tales, please keep them coming...and I will be refreshing the supplies on tables in the cafe next time I'm in...

How amazing is this fella? The seals follow the fishing boats in every night at the harbour and we were lucky enough to see them one evening. The above picture is a sketch of the harbour (and me and C) from the same place we saw the seals. Perhaps one should feature in the background...I think I will add a little addition to the final illustration.

Illustration Friday Topic - Swell

Just to clarify, I haven't got a baby in my tummy! I just thought the premise of this picture is cute, fits this weeks IF topic, and could possibly be a children's book (for those soon to be siblings). I have taken 'swell' to mean getting big, or growing larger so I chose this picture that I did ages ago. A few of the lovely ladies I met through aquanatal when I was pregnant 3 years ago are now having their second babies so this is inspired by them.
