very cool indeed. Reminds me of an old twilight zone episode where they had some kinda odd weirdness in a big jar and everyone had their own idea what it was.

Love the eyes..lol! Wish it were a bigger canvas! Great imagination! What is in my imagination and what comes out on paper are always two different things!!

Thanks for all the comments I really appreciate it.usually when I do something like this I do have a vision of what I want to do but it's usually all in the moment which makes it more interesting and free.thanx again :)

Cool drawing :)

I agree....very cool draw!! :)

Reminds me of Aladdin, though I have no idea why.

sorry Axil, I was pissy this morning

Greatness! lol..love the show. 3 more years, yay. Had a good laugh last night at Modern Family. Have you seen it?
Harsh but fair ? who are you and what did you do with Flubbles? ;p

(Crawls from under Rock) Hey what the? Nice Drawing Axil62! Well, the drawing isn't so good, but the likeness of the character is very good.

I'm glad you're trying watercolour because I think the medium would lend itself to your style. If you can find it, there is a book by a woman I think you would really like. It's called 'How to Make a Watercolor Paint Itself' by Nita Engle. Thanks for sharing your class paintings. It takes awhile to work out all the properties of the different pigments--transparent, opaque, staining, etc. Then you have to play with working wet in wet, wet on dry, dry on dry, and refine your lost and found edge technique. It's hard and frustrating but also the most fun and magical when it works, IMO.

Something like this, Teapot? :)

Mmmm! Nice interplay of the warm and cool colours together! I got the sense of a forest fire. I am liking how you keep the movement and looseness with your paints. Though I can admire the control achieved, I don't find myself liking watercolours that get too 'tight', too detailed. This painting has a nice balance of a little detail with a lot of impression.

sorry 'bout that and thanks guys
I haven't sculpted anything new in quite some time

lori, those are great!!! I especially like the apple =) Is it a cookie jar? I used to sculpt mini pastries and breads using white bread (without the crust) and Aleen's tacky glue. Then after they dried and I painted/glazed them, I'd put them in a tiny basket, add a magnet to the back and sold them at the bakery I was working at. They were very popular but I couldn't keep up with the demand! Wish I had a pic of them =( Thanks for sharing these!

thanks elly... no, the apple is a candle holder

ooooo... that one's very spiffy

I love watching these fish at the aquarium in Baltimore!!! Elly, you really did a wonderful job at capturing the silver in this fish, beautiful coloring throughout. Love it!!

pwetty shiney fishie XD lovely rainbowy colors and glow!

damn...
well, it's gone, but i will comment for your other one anyway because i thought it was fantastic. I thought the comment you left on it was equally wonderful. It felt to me oddly connected to what your son is studying. like that subject pervaded your subject. It was great, I hope you saved it.
I wouldn't be surprised if he/you already know about these but;
read the book, Night by Eli Weisel? It's about the Holocaust through the eyes of a 15 year old, may be too old for your son, but read it anyway.
look at the documentary and all that it includes of "The Paper Clip Project" http://whitwellschoolmiddle.org/homepage_pc.cfm?id=78

Good job :)

yeah, I didn't much like that other one... thanks Suntan... I will look into that book for him, he's 14

This is awesome! Wonderful work!:))

That is extremely creepy. I saw the original of this only yesterday o____o
