Whistling Swans (Hazel Terry)

I really wanted more time but challenges are hard to keep to with so many other demands, Therefore there is just one whistling swan, for now.

They Sailed Away (Hazel Terry)

 

Todays tetrapak print challenge is, 'They Sailed Away'. 

Secret Sorrow (Hazel Terry)

 

For this prompt I remembered the strange fact that our tear structure changes depending on why we are crying, which I just think is mind blowing. I tried to get different textural imprints n the Tetrapak to show that different molecular form. 

The sorrow is depicted in the colour, end genocide!

I am a cat who walks by himself

 

This was one where I preferred the plate to the print, I really crumpled and folded the tetrapak to make it as creased as possible to give my tom cat as much character as possible, this was not a pasta machine print but the back of a spoon and I was really disappointed by the result. 

So I did a new one . . .

The great thing about Monty Lee's challenges is finding new artists so above for the first challenge of 'Inside of nowhere' is Sonja Buehrke's poor jam jar encased fish.

Inside of Nowhere

 

So it is the first day of the tiny tetrapak challenge, today's subject is 'Inside of Nowhere', I thought of Dorothy from 'The Wizard of Oz' in her tornado and so here she is whirling away, with a bubble of hair whirled above her.

Looking forward to seeing what everyone makes.
