Digital photograph of toilet roll inners, jigsaw, silk painting, fabric and light

The theme here is Surreal. I also did the below during the video call.

Cut paper, cotton wool and acrylic

Acrylic on paper

Based on one of David Barlow’s images for National Geographic’s ‘animals in the womb’.

Fabric scraps, beads and one coat hanger!

This took so long to do it was started for Child’s Play, continued through MMMF (Medusa Makes Men Frightened) and finally finished for Shock. My snakes are SO COOL.

Acrylic on paper

On this day, I learned that rat kings are a real thing that really happens sometimes. Not only that, but squirrel kings have also been documented. I did not want my pretend rats to pretend suffer, so I made them separatable. 🙂

Pastels on paper

This is a cover version of a photo taken by a friend for his own lockdown project. It was not technically taken on an actual halcyon day, but meh, close enough. 🙂

Digital photographs of ice and food colouring on bath

Always one to take a theme literally (if it is going to be cheap and easy enough), I froze a sheet of ice with food colouring outside overnight (it being February at the time). It was not cold enough to actually freeze the food colouring, but enough clung to the ice to provide a bit of contrast. I also did a sort of ice version of a green man during the video call (below).

Pencils on paper

Collage

This was actually started during a Collage themed meeting, but since it is quite large I didn’t finish it in time, so it languished for a while and was eventually finished when the topic was Flowers. It is a representation of the Cardiacs daisy.

Christmas tree angel on paper and velvet

Biscuit on plate 😉

For Change, I changed from traditional to culinary arts, with the added bonus of change being part of the yin-yang cycle.

Later update: dangerous imbalance!

Digital photograph

For the theme Bubbles, I made actual soap bubbles (with a bit of sugar for longevity) and photographed them against a reflective background with coloured lighting.
