Mouth Planter
EDM Challenge #53 Draw a mouth. I went for a walk while I was thinking about which mouth to draw for this challenge. I passed a dentist's office that had a mouth on the sign, but I didn't really feel like drawing that mouth (and all those teeth!). I thought about whether to draw my own mouth, or my son's mouth, or one of the cat's mouths. Then I walked into a garden center that I've been meaning to go to for ages and saw this planter. Well, it was too perfect to pass up -- it had to be the mouth for this challenge. It's a rather large planter, and very striking, but I'm not sure I'd want it in my garden. It would be like a huge, bizarre Chia Pet.

Did you do it on location or snapped a pic and drew after? It's a strange planter someone somewhere would love it.
ReplyDeleteHi Mary! I wish I could have drawn it there, but I hadn't brought anything with me, so I took a photo. I think the planter could work in one of those gardens where there are lots of fake (or real, I guess) ruins strewn artfully about. This could look like part of a fallen statue. An ancient Greek Chia Pet!
DeleteNice one :)
