mushrooms and spores

After the rain our backyard is always covered in mushrooms! I always spend time looking at them and drawing them, Yesterday I was looking at them and I wanted to do something different with the mushrooms, so I picked as many different kind and shapes of mushroom that I could find, and set them on a sheet of white paper, and the next morning I checked to see if there were spore prints, and sure enough some of them worked! Here are some photos.

puppet

last night I drew this picture of the girl in the raccoon costume and I began to draw the string hanging from her fingers, and I wanted something other than a lantern hanging from it, so I thought first maybe a paper crane then I thought maybe a puppet for some reason that reminded me of a clown so I drew that just to try it, I liked how it came out so I drew some other images with the clown in it.

movie

my brother and I sculpted these figures out of clay and made this movie with them! I hope that you enjoy it!

mushroom terrarium

at the antique fair I got a small packet of old German plaster mushrooms, when I got home I was so excited about them that I did not even wait until I could get the right things that I needed to make it, so I used some things that I had. It was very tricky to stand up the little kokashi so I decided that she must be tired and so now she is having a peaceful nap under the mushrooms.

some sketches

bears

The last few months I have been having very vivid bear dreams,  during that time I drew a series of bear drawings since I had such a vivid image of them, I have not dreamed about them since I started to draw them.  Here are a few images of them.
