Stolen from the lair of Sparrows Fall: One paper grocery bag.
Creation of art using paper grocery bag:
The Fish of the Moon mask. For no reason in particular.
The finished work was sneakily snuck back into Sparrows' lair. I think she liked it; she hung it on the wall.

The Fish of the Moon. For Sparrows.

In black and brown.

I did the sketch at the day job. I did a couple, but I liked this one best. Preparation for transferring the sketch to the paper bag canvas was aided by a bottle of beer, blueberry beer.

This isn't a very exciting photo, but I wanted to show that I used most of the bag, making the work thicker by gluing the two sides together.

Paint and stuff.

Painted. Except the crescents in the eyes; I thought for a while I would cut these out, but then decided against it.

A surfeit of grocery bag.

Sweet Potato documents the theft.
hidingbag...inbag.JPG
Hiding the bag in my...bag. All before the return of the unsuspecting Sparrows. (Actually, one suspects she suspected theft of some kind, because she said (something to the effect of) before leaving, "okay, going away now, so you can do anything you need to do..."

Finished but undelivered.

And the little danglies flutter when the fan is going, so it looks like swmming! =D
Fish is keeping me company while I'm reading (you will note the chair is positioned so that he can read over my shoulder, if he is interested).
Fish knows all, but he probably likes reading it again.
The gummies like the fish. It reminds them of the pretty mermaid box that Rainy made for them.
Also, the gummies would like to point out that Sparrows HAD SEVERAL OTHER BAGS OF COUGHDROPS. The coughdrops they stole were not essential medical supplies.
It's true, it's very true; I just didn't want her to feel persecuted; also grocery bags are easy to turn into art supplies. I think probably the bag of cough drops was a bigger challenge.
Cough drops are IMPORTANT HEALTH MATERIALS, Evil Sugar!!!!!
Important Health Materials. Pfft. The gummies direct you to this quote, from the movie Robin Hood: "You whine like a mule. You are still alive."
A lot of SNIDE people voting for this task.
Hm.
I love the shiny paint.
