I’ve once again really enjoyed looking at what each word has prompted, been intrigued and inspired by each finished chart. Hard to choose a favourite image, but most poignant (given the Grenfell Tower inquiry and the fires in Glasgow) is Eddie’s choice for “danger”.
From Margaret, who said: “When I saw the number of animals on this months word chart — I thought ‘Oh Dear’. But am surprisingly quite happy at how they turned out. I can’t decide if the hippopotamus or the elephant is my favourite. I’m afraid the puffin and the giraffe don’t look quite right. Still, another enjoyable month.”
From Jerry, who said: “Another fun month of creativity!”
From Eddie, who said: “A veritable menagerie but narry a sheep in sight.”
I’ve been doing my word prompts in my book version of the charts that I want to use as my display copy at Patchings Art Festival. I’ve found I tend to not do it every day, but rather doing two or three every few days, using watercolour, coloured pencils, or just pencil as the mood takes me, a relaxation with afternoon tea. When it came to all the animals, I was trying to work from memory rather than look up reference photos. I found I couldn’t visualise where the black and red and white on a woodpecker are at all!
July’s chart can be downloaded here. Have fun!
