Making a horse head. The joys of a corkwire or two.
The joys of teeth.
The joys of an old T-shirt.
The joy of a horse.

I still have work to do on Pippi. Her lovely shoes didn’t work with magnets. Here she is in her bare “feet”.
Pippi’s armature and head: aluminium wire, polymorph and polymer clay (hands and head).
Armature for Mr Nilsson the Monkey. Without a head.
I work best with some kind of challenge. (I have been drifting – perhaps stuck!) There are lots of challenges on Instagram and I felt the pull of a Pippi Longstocking theme for the first week of August. I will try to animate one of the daily prompts but for now I will just see how I get along.
So here’s my idea for Pippi. And there has to be a monkey, Mr Nilsson, and a horse. Oh dear ……
“OK. You want to see some folktale week drawings?”
“This is Day 5 – DARK. Done with a fine technical pen.”
“Day 6 – KEY. Technical pen with collage and watercolour.”
“This is Day 7 – the final day of prompts – CROWN”. This is done with technical pen and collaged colour and watercolour.
I think this is all a bit creepy. Who on earth is that little man inside the crown?
