A piece of driftwood. Sometimes the beaches are full of driftwood, but of course the days I go to look for some for a project, there is none to be found.
Looks a bit like a bone, too :) I wish I lived somewhere close to a beach to pick up treasures now and again - nothing here but leaves and branches and acorns...of course, those are treasures, too; I'm just a little jealous of anyone living close to the sea.
the North Sea is about 20 minutes away, nice sandy beaches but the water can be a bit cold, and dead jellyfish and the occasional whale :/ (a whale bone would be great to have tho :p)
This weeks colours for The Summer of Color are 2 purples and a yellow and this is what I did with them. Not my favorite colours so really racked my brain trying to think how I could use them and which bird to use. Decided to go with a juvenile Golden Eagle since I don't have any photos of a purple bird :p I think I prefer the black background, the yellow seems to stand out more against it. Which do you prefer?
Love this sketch! It does sometimes seem to be easier to find things when not looking...
ReplyDeletethanks Lisa :) yeah that always happens or after you have gone and bought something already
