WIP-Better Deer

I worked on the deer for this scene yesterday. Hopefully, they now look more like deer and less like collies or French Poodles. It was an ugly scene on the cutting table: carnage everywhere as I amputated legs, snouts, and ears. I decided not to make antlers for a buck, because this looks like a spring or summer scene to me. Deer antlers are not completely grown until the end of summer. Anyway, the ones we see standing around grazing are always does.

Must take a break from art quilting to get back to the Gammill for awhile and do a bed quilt for my friend, Jean. It will be a "Delectable Mountains" with leafy motifs.

Thanks to everyone who has encouraged me with kind remarks about these experimental art projects!

WIP- Personal Symbol

We are on the last week of the online class, Think Like an Artist. We are busily churning out projects to be finished later. A few of the members have gone ahead and quilted/embellished their pieces, but I am struggling to keep up with the homework! This is for Part 2 of Lesson 3, a personal symbol. Mine of course includes the mountains and creek that I love in western North Carolina. Those deer need a little surgery to make them anatomically correct! Guess I will go fine-tune the deer and the bird on my self-portrait. (See previous post) I am thinking of making a wild turkey (one of the birds we see all the time in the mountains) landing on her head, and calling it Too Much Wild Turkey! Ha, still having fun with this class!
