My "BOAT" contribution

I was word listing and kept coming back to sailboats. We always see so many out on the green waters of the Bay when it's a nice day up here, so that was my inspiration for this piece. I wanted to keep it simple and readable, and everything is made from felt.

Sloterdijk Autumn

Hi everyone, I'm a little late on my submission for Fall. It's an homage to the autumn season and the Dutch thinker Peter Sloterdijk. Hope all is well!

And the November word is..."BOAT"

Hi Everyone, So we're off to a bit of a slow start, but at least we've started. Just a quick reminder, you can still post your "Fall" Ideas, better late than never right? Anyway, we have a few nice pieces showing our Fall theme, and now we are now onto the November word which is "Boat" Have fun with it, the due date is Nov.30, but feel free to turn them in early.

Money Tree in the Fall

So with the economy being what it is I came up with the idea of showing a Money Tree in the Fall losing it's leaves. get it, Fall Season, Fall on Wall Street. I know it's cheesy, but it was fun.

Pumpkins

Happy Halloween!

My "Fall" post...

.... is SQUIRRELS! I was doing my Leo word list outside in the sunshine the other day and I was watching our dog Waffle tear around the yard chasing after the squirrels. Fall is her favorite time of year, she can't get enough of the chase. Never mind that the squirrels are at least 15 feet above the ground in our trees or rushing along the top of our fence, she chases them for all she's worth. Has to be that terrier blood. So after trying many other generic ideas for "Fall" (and having already done a Halloween plush, so that was out) I kept coming back to squirrels, and design ideas were soon filling up pages in my sketchbook. I included 2 pages of sketches so you can see the thought process, and if you want to see more squirrel pics, head on over to my flickr.
*they'll also be available in my etsy store if anyone's interested- blatant plug, sorry!*

Quick reminder!

Hey everyone! Just a quick blurb to remind everyone that we have until next friday (Oct. 31st! already!) to get your "fall" themed piece posted. I'm really looking forward to seeing what you all come up with. It's finally starting to feel a little crisp in the mornings up here, and the leaves are all turning... Hooray for fall- it's about time! :D
