Game Whale

I like doing the whales because it really gives a lot of room to find ways to create whales.

The whale from today is compliments of my best friend.  I was helping my nephew, Kyle, clean his room and a bag of game tiles made it into the donate pile.  Well, almost made it into the donate pile.  This bag was like gold to me and then I realized that his mother also is an artist.  So when I yelled to her in the other room about the tiles, she said, "those would be great for mosaic."  I better get to some garage sales. Or y'all can send me your game pieces.

I said, "for you or for me?"  She said, "me," meaning her.  Then she stood at the door and said, but you might as well grab your whale out of it first.

Thanks Jaime.  I can't wait to see what you pick for your 365 project. :)

The background is from one of my many whale books I have.  When I dug them out for this project, it was nice to read all the inscriptions that my loved ones had written in the books when they gave them to me as gifts.

Mrs. Right Whale

Let me introduce you to Mrs. Right.

Forca Whale

Okay.  My daughter Marisa came up with the Forca whale idea and I did the creating.  This had many versions, but I believe this one is best.  I attempted to fill in the dark parts of the whale, but I needed more forks.

There will most likely be a Forca whale 2 at some point.  There will certainly be a _ _ _ _ _ _  whale coming soon.

Surprising how difficult it can be to create curves with straight metal objects.  It was definitely more challenging than I thought it would be.

In the midst of brainstorming, I came up with a wonderful idea -- it will be fun to see what it develops into.

Crown Stamp Whale

This was actually supposed to be something different that I created in photoshop using stamps but it wasn't working out so I went to this.

Kind of fun!

#3 Girly Right Whale

Isn't she cute?  After looking at her, I got a great idea.  We'll see if it pans out tomorrow.

Penny Whale

Would be cool to do a hundred dollar bill whale, but pennies are all I got today.

Shell Whale

I figured that it would be easier to create a whale no matter where I am at and no matter how busy I am, so I am also taking up the challenge of whale a day along side my mosaic a day challenge.
