This was the second installment of our two part Toys Saturday workshop at the museum. We were getting pretty good at the organized chaos and it looks like we've produced enough art for our own exhibit without even factoring in Mike's collectables.
The One Footed Wonder is my favorite because it was created by an 81 year old widow who hasn't even tackled painting. I was so darn proud of her when the lightbulb went on last week during the introduction and she went from being literal with her materials to using them as a medium or to morph them into something completely different.
One of my other faves crafted by a most pleasant and helpful young fellow:
(who - like TwinB - was awarded the Art Club scholarship and flunked outta The Art Institute of Vancouver. he's currently occupied as a Sandwich Artist)
He's titled this one 'Catching the Galactic Cod'... so we discussed how far one has to go to nab a decent cod since the collapse of the Canadian Fishery.
Got to know some great people - but now it's time to tackle the rest of my exhibit!
