Deer Tracks

 If there is any advantage to being housebound during a pandemic (with my complete sympathy to those who have been affected by this terrible virus), it is that I have plenty of time to make art. It allows me to review online art workshops that I have taken before and my choice at this time was Michael deMeng's Distressed Disturbed Disintegrating Dollies

It all starts with a doll head.





I decided to collage in an old drawer to create the substrate for my doll head. 




I put the assemblage on the collage to see what things are going to look like moving forward. 




And so we have...Deer Tracks.
