WOYWW

Inspired by artist Shel C

...and my silly tendency to make puns or connect things together in weird ways.

This is what's been on my work desk for 3 days. At the moment, it's had waxed paper laid over it and is in the process of being flattened, so here is yesterday's photo of my cartoon

Moptopus!

You see, Shel and I had been sharing some ideas one day very recently. She had posted her recent YouTube of her splendid octopus.

You can see it right here or visit her channel. Lots of fun things happening there!

Awesomeness!

We ended up chatting about which brand of Deli Paper I should choose over at Amazon. She pointed me in the right direction. Thanks, Shel! I'm looking forward to being able to play with some one day very soon.

But the story did not end there. Oh, no. Somehow, 3 wires in my brain crossed, and sparks flew. Well, perhaps suds began to bubble instead LOL. I had a journal page to complete, and so far had not one idea in my pea brain as to how to tackle the problem. That page was a clean-up or mop-up pull from an earlier adventure in monoprints using my glass sheet (an earlier post here at this blog). This had turned out to be a little more interesting once I'd coated it with a transparent glaze of blue. In fact, it had begun to remind me of the ocean's depth.

Brain said: "Mop-up print page. Shel's brilliant octopus. Ocean floor. Bathroom mess." It mooshed everything together and that is my excuse for my double pun for this week's WOYWW.

And would you like to know what I really find most funny of all? LOL I usually dislike tentacles of all types intensely!

:)

Thanks, Shel!
