New Year, New Limits

I know my limits.

Let's start the year with quick, small, manageable projects.  

This project was fast because I used whatever I found at the discounted-oops-paint-shelf. Nothing helps speed things up like having a limited color assortment to choose from.

This project involved a desire to get rid of something cumbersome from 
a large parcel I received.  Something I don't like: Styrofoam.

I try to stay away from foam knowing that it is not biodegradable and won't even be collected by most recycling facilities, so instead of throwing it away, this is what I did with a large piece of packaging foam, a can of black paint, and a can of yellow paint that I got for 50 cents each.


Rubber Ducky

Easy drawing subject:  a circle for the body, a circle for the head, and a circle for a giant eye.

I think the ragged edges and porous-looking surface of the foam add character. 

This really was a fun, fast project, and even though it's large scale it's extremely inexpensive, so much that I still have a lot of paint leftover.  Let's see what more can be done with black & yellow.
