LRRH

Today in FS2, by pure chance(!), they were looking at Little Red Riding Hood!
We had a go at drawing reversible images - where Granny becomes the Big, Bad Wolf if you rotate her.
Nb. she has spots and bags under her eyes 'cos she's not well, even though she's putting a brave face on!

Played around with a Little Red Riding Hood idea the other day and came up with this;

It's supposed to show the wolf pretending to be a tree whilst an unsuspecting LRRH walks calmy by! Lots of redrawing and judicious use of sticky white labels.

I like the way a shaft of sunlight happened to find it's way across the picture when I took the photo!

automata & animals

Still bitten by the automata bug and have finally found a use for some vintage game counters that I bought from a flea market about a year ago. Watch this space - will try and post a video(!) of the finished piece.

 

Today y4 visited a local wildlife park. Despite the bitter cold they managed to do some life drawings of the animals.

yesterday

The big bad wolf we made yesterday in FS1 (3/4 year olds) - collage of felt & paper + paint - with just a bit of help from the 'big' kids (ie. adults!).

Have just listed copies of my unique, innovative book in my Etsy shop. Decided to get it out there before someone else comes up with a similar idea and am tired of waiting for a very slow response from the real publishing world. No wonder book publishers are being left behind and struggling to combat electronic alternatives- they are still working to an incredibly slow model that was fine a few years ago but doesn't even go near the mustard these days, let alone cut it!

I feel better for that! Please tell your friends to snap up a copy in time for Christmas - it will be the best stocking filler at pocket money prices that they will buy this year!! It's a story book, colouring book and a find the 'hidden' mouse book all rolled into one!!!
