This is to show the happy side of the poor bear a couple of images ago. CathieT had asked about it, so I thought I’d put one up. / It wasn’t quite the style I was aiming for, but at least you can see him smiling :)
...prepare for a big surprise… even big girls love bears!
RB’s challenge “Substance of things not seen” inspired many questions of how to convey and/or observe what we cannot see, let alone create a piece of art. / Then, while listening to our CD player shuffle, this song played…Colors of the Wind / You think you own whatever land you land on / Earth is just a dead thing you can claim / But I know every rock and tree and creature / Has a life, has a spirit, has a name / You think the only people who are people / Are the people who look and think like you / But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger / You learn things you never knew / You never knew / Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon? / Or ask the grinning bobcat why he grinned / Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains? / Can you paint with all the colors of the wind? / Can you paint with all the colors of the wind? / Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest / Come taste the sun-sweet berries of the earth / Come roll in all the riches all around you / And for once never wonder what they’re worth / The rainstorm and the river are my brothers / And the heron and the otter are my friends / And we are all connected to each other / In a circle in a hoop that never ends / Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon? / or let the eagle tell you where hes been / can you sing with all the voices of the mountain / can you paint with all the colors of the wind / can you paint with all the colors of the wind / How high does the sycamore grow / If you cut it down, then you’ll never know / And you’ll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon / For whether we are white or copper – skinned / We just sing with all the voices of the mountain / Need to paint with all the colors of the wind / You can own the earth and still / All you’ll own is earth until / You can paint with all colors of the wind. Not leaving well enough alone, I ventured into googling and found an amazing photograph (hven.swarthmore.edu) of a Wind Bubble and began searching more of the Stellar Winds ~ this all seemed to fit, so I sketched a female figure being blown by the wind and layered it atop the Wind Bubble, editing a little more with the Redfield fractilius plug-in to bring the force of the wind alive with evidence of its power, though unseen… “Thought is the Wind, knowledge the sail, and mankind the vessel. ” August Hare
Old Teddy, much patched and worn, lacking stuffing and fur
My entry for the Ap weekend challenge. This is something totally different for me, and while I can`t say that I`m particularly happy with the results it`s been a fun excercise, and worthwhile purely for that alone. All these images were cut out of a magazine, arranged in photoshop, printed out, cut, scratched and torn up, then re-scanned. After being so used to working on the structure and clarity of my lines, this was like trying to perform surgery with a blunt rock The inspiration for the image was taken from one of my favorite Janes Addiction songs, “Ted, Just admit it.” Lyrics: / camera got them images / camera got them all / nothing’s shocking… / showed me everybody / naked and disfigured / nothing’s shocking… / and then he came / now sister’s / not a virgin anymore / her sex is violent… the t.v.’s got them images / t.v.’s got them all / it’s not shocking! / every half an hour / someone’s captured and / the cop moves them along… / it’s just like the show before / the news is / just another show / with sex and violence…

He just wants to be your friend. / And hibernate in your garage.

No bears or little critters were harmed in these photoshoots, they got fed well with Honey and Jam Sandwiches and Pink Lemonade, which is the reason they have Red Tee Shirts to hide the spills. / /
The original was from a rubber stamp carving. Totally enhanced it on the computer in PhotoShop with the wacom tablet
Teddy forgotten at old farmhouse...
Pencil drawing -Teddy bears are great companions. They always listen, they never answer back, they are always on your side, they always care for you no matter what you do, and they are very intelligent. They subscibe to the theory that it is better to keep their mouths shut and let people think they are fools than to open them / and prove it. That’s why teddies don’t speak.
