Oil pastel giraffe wearing a bilby mask - and a bilby wearing a giraffe mask. Signage created in Word, torn edges and painted with coffee.
Update:
Two-part paper finger puppet - one finger forms the neck. Outlined in black Sharpie, coloured with watercolours.

Freehand silhouette in black card collaged to a safari print gift bag. 3D eyelashes cut from white paper, with curls rolled over the end of a paintbrush. I was creating this at lunchtime today when a Facebook message came in announcing the passing of my actor friend, Elaine Lee (Vera in TV's Number 96) and I suddenly realised that my new giraffe needed to have - instead of white cartoon eyes - big white eyelashes. (Many happy memories having drinkies in Elaine's dressing room, after a stage performance, and watching her peel off her huge false eyelashes.)

Mixed media collage with chenille sticks (poking through random holes made with a hole punch), torn paper and self-adhesive faux fur safari skin on a quill board background.

Woo hoo! One of my giraffes (the one in the bilby mask) made the cut in Lisa-Marie's Picks, over on the Challenge blog. "Tall order" indeed, Lisa-Marie! Thank you. It was a great week! Click here and scroll down!
