The jail door opens and Sly is surprised to see his son, Beryl.

They jump and run as fast as they can back to the rest of their family - free at last. End of made up story.

This is about as 'loose at drawing' as I can get. I drew all of these cats using my non-dominant hand (left), used watercolors and Posca pens for detail. The made up story is one about alley cats - "Sly" is captured by animal control and thrown into jail. The other cats - Sapphire (the mom), her daughters - Jade, Aqua, Onyx - and their brother, Beryl, formulate a scheme to break their dad, Sly, out of jail.

This is another 'made up story.' Thanks to you, Lewis, for being such a creative and excellent teacher - my mind went a little bonkers drawing, cutting, and creating these fun ideas and contraptions. This class was so entertaining.

When both the fairies and Gunnar open the gate to the 'mushroom forest' they are met by an angry grizzly bear. The only way the bear will allow them to enter is if the fairy on Gunnar's back will grant him a wish.

This is a made up story. When I was a kid my mom taught us to use our imaginations. Thanks to her, I have a vivid one.

# data[].attributes.body
I used a lot of my collage prints to make both mushrooms and the background for the 'mushroom forest.' I drew my Shar-pei, Gunnar, using watercolors & included a fairy riding on his back and another fairy flying in the sky.

When we open the door - there is a watercolor painting I created of Oscar on the roof of our house in Coeur d' Alene,

Idaho. When he was a year old he jumped out of a window upstairs and started hanging out on the roof. People driving by would often ring our doorbell. When we answered, they would say, "Did you know there's a dog on your roof?"

We did. Wherever I went to either the front or back yard - Oscar would follow me up on the roof. He was a super cool dog. I'm hoping to write a children's book about him one day.

The background on both pages are gelli prints. The B&W photo at the bottom left is our Shar-pei, Oscar Moxie, when he was a 6 month old puppy.

Opening the door to a Shar-pei (Gunnar) looking out a window in our house. Shar-pei are window looking dogs and will go from room to room to look out of one following a person, cat or dog they have noticed outside.

This is my favorite of the 5 I've created. This is an "ink blot" I created in another class. It's my current Shar-pei, Gunnar. He probably does think he's "the King" because he's spoiled rotten.

Last Lesson - Opening the Window - 1 of 5

When opening the window (contraption) I added a watercolor/collage painting I created of my Chinese

Shar-pei, Gunnar sitting at the dinner table.

Shar-pei's have been part of our lives for 26 years when we first adopted "Jack" from a kill shelter in 1999. After him, we fell in love with the breed. They aren't like 'other dogs' as they don't 'fetch' - will find a window anywhere in a house to look out of it - and are both loyal and stubborn.

Making these contraptions has been so much fun that my imagination went wild. I'm not good at mechanical reasoning - so when I made these last contraptions, I kept making them backwards; so I just turned my sketchbook upside down. I'm still working on my last of five.

I sat in a grade school's desk with attached chair in our front yard and used the 'Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain' book to draw the house.

﻿Hello!

This piece is done for now… you never know I may come back and tinker with some other adds of little bits and pieces in the vast underworld of beautiful Oceans. [If the sketchbook is still here... 'the little' (god child) is planning to take it home with her to the other coast 😝]

All but the diver (royalty-free collage ephemera), is all my art. The shark was a favorite drawing from years ago, and the octopus sculpture was an Artist Proof from even longer ago. I like taking bits of art that stay with me, “out” - on to other adventures in pieces as collage elements.

Thank you for a fun class that the little one and I enjoyed @Lewis and so much fun to also see your work @Karla, @Sabine, @Nicola… I will continue checking back in to see more of your work and who knows - I may post one or two more pop-ups that I will make, since it’s been brewing in my mind while I made the ones I made during this workshop.

The something in the cloud in the top right corner was meant to be a flying carpet..... hmmm

# data[].attributes.body
dear all, I'm soo far behind, and in total awe what you all created. It s a lot of fun to see your entries - congrats to all of you , with glitter or without ;.)

Lewis, it is so great to watch you drawing like a kid! and it is really inspiring ! so cool! and I try to get to wonky lines again ....

I thought a long time about the motiv for the first lesson and finally came up with something- and i can name a few things I screwed up with - like the camels - and the wondercarpet- but what the heck it was fun ! wishing you all a great week....

# data[].attributes.body
﻿Hello, hope you are having a good week.
So not only was I testing the contraption from lesson 2 & 3, but also testing the interaction of gouache (new to me), watercolor, water based inks, Posca and acrylic glaze while trying to test out ideas 💡 for luminosity in drawings ….
In other words, I didn’t want to make things completely binary (dark & one spot of light), but rather a bit of fun for me and hopefully you /the viewer of the piece too. I just felt like making my cut-out on the wheel a circle and so went ahead to experiment with that and turns out it’s a bit fluid (will try the rectangle window in another piece soon)  … and not sure if my concept works well in reverse, (half the time, I think it’s fine!), but still creating luminosity was on the brain and so took Lewis’ advice to try things in the sketchbook and make the whole thing an experiment (down to the purposeful experiment of making the crowd of people loose vague sketch which I haven’t decided is completely done yet … but done for now).

And yes, the little one is here all week! And she brought out the white glitter this time! 😂 I am not sure how much glitter came with her, but she arrived to spend the week with a large Valise! 🧳 So guess we will find out together. I am rather flattered that she also declared that when this sketchbook is filled with pop-ups (this week! 😜 She will help if that’s what it takes to complete the book. 😅) she is taking it home as a memento of her week with us.

Hello Everyone, Love seeing @Karla’s work and looking forward to seeing everyone else’s work too.

@Lewis, while this is my first workshop with you, I am somewhat familiar with your work and happy to be in this class - thanks to Karla telling me about it.

Just catching up on lessons - so here is my use of the first pop-up contraption. To make up for the delay, I used it twice in the piece to convey the concept of my piece. 😂 And finally, my little god-daughter was delighted to finally have one of my piece’s in which she could put her favorite pink glitter on it with glee! 😅😝

This was so much fun!!! I had a bit of trouble figuring out how to include the wheel into my sketchbook (mechanical reasoning is not my forte) - but it worked out perfectly. These three young adults won three times - with three 7's, three lemons, and three hearts. The TURN starts at the top & shows three 7's, then goes to the middle and shows three lemons, and finally at the bottom of the wheel it shows three winning hearts.

...and this is Oscar when he was almost nine years old. The side of the car had his toenail scratch marks all over. This was his favorite thing to do and we will always cherish these

memories.

I kind of messed up the door on the Lincoln - so the window became the door - but, oh well.

# data[].attributes.body
What FUN!!! Mine is a TRUE STORY. I took care of a gentleman for 10 years in home health & he left me his 1993 Lincoln Town car. What a boat! When he passed away, my husband, Jonathan started driving it back and forth to our house in the mountains and taking our puppy Shar-pei, Oscar along. Oscar LOVED hanging out the passenger side window. They continued this trek for 9 more years. It was a 50 mile journey from Coeur d' Alene, Idaho to St. Maries so lots of people saw Oscar hanging out the window and would laugh.

One day - there was a HUGE Holstein cow in the middle of the road and Oscar tried to jump out the window. Jonathan had Oscar's harness on & had put his leash under his leg to prevent a mishap. It was a funny day.

Thanks for the alternative possibility to post our work. Cannot wait to see everyone's great art and I am so happy to have another class with Lewis

# data[].attributes.body
I'm so excited about this new class with Lewis and can't wait to begin. Creating Pop-Up books is one of my favorite forms of bookmaking.
