Every Inchie Monday: Odd

This week's word at Every Inchie Monday is odd,  I really wanted to use my mum's old expression Odds and Sods, to mean a conglomeration of various things, but couldn't figure out exactly how to portray it.  (And sod is not a nice word in England where she came from.)

 So I went for two more ordinary ideas:  odd numbers - they are sparkly letter stickers,  and odd balls  -- those red, blue and white balls are the ones we treasured as children (medium Inktense pencils).

Now for my weekly catch up!  I left off with engrave, so the next one is

Forest:  I thought of drawing the box of chocolates from Forest Gump, but thought that was too much like chocolate so I got kind of ordinary here and just drew a little forest of trees (can you hear one fall?)  I tried to get a little bunny in there but it was just too small.  Medium:  Prismacolour  coloured pencils. 

Figure:  I spent many years figure skating as a child.  True iconic Canadian, I grew up with an ice pond in my backyard and a front yard that froze over every year.  I learned to skate as I learned to walk..  I belonged to two clubs at the same time but when it came time for private lessons, to my regret it simply wasn't in the budget. Medium: Prismacolour coloued pencils and silver gelly pen.

Game:  I always wanted to own Boardwalk when playing Monopoly as a child, mostly because I liked to colour of the tile I think.  It didn't often end up with me winning, that's for sure.  Medium: coloured cardstock, Inktense pencils.

 

 

 

Gold:  I seem to like doing the colours when they come up.  Here is used a gold button and some sparkly scrapbook paper.  The hardest part, as usual, was taking a picture of it so the shine came through. 

 

 

Head:  I got very ordinary here again and tried to draw a head in a one inch square,   My vanity wants to assure you I  can draw heads more or less properly, if given enough room!   Then I decided to use another idea from the 4H club, which stands for Head. Heart, Hands and Health.  It's a sort of country-wide agricultural club.  I joined because  I wanted to have a horse, even though we couldn't afford it. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hot:  I love hot air balloons, although I don't think you'd ever get me up in one!  They are so beautiful as they float across the sky.  Medium:  gelly pens, brown pigma micron, Prismacolors.

 

 

That's enough for this week.  More to come.
