Another in the self imposed challenge of ‘a creature a day’.
I made several ink blots in different colors and left them on my work table.
Every day as I walk past the table I turn them this way and that, until I see something.
Most times I see several different creatures, so I have to decide on one (or make copies.)
When I settle on something I sit down and start.
And when I’m done it’s totally different than what I saw! LOL
This is a very interesting experience. I’m forced to let go of control and just let it develop. Sometimes I like what happens, sometimes I don’t.
This is one of the ‘I like what happened’.
(Originally it was was going to be a face. I started with the eye and this little guy just popped out!)
