Embellished

The drawing challenge this week is hosted by Stefanie.

She gave us the theme 'fillip'.
Now I must admit that I had to go to the dictionary to get a definition for this word, and this is what I found:
1. A snap or light blow made by pressing a fingertip against the thumb and suddenly releasing it.

2. An embellishment that excites or stimulates

All week long I have thought about these definitions, and the idea that kept coming back to me was about embellishing.  



AND  SO  I  EMBELLISHED!

Using charcoal and paint, pan pastels, botanical bits and pieces of collage.

Until my snow goose was happy to show herself off.


I then played  with her on my computer....

but find the original is really my favourite of her.

  5. This is so much fun, and it reminds me of birds I used to invent as a child, with crazy head plumes and wildly exaggerated tails. Your goose has such style and panache!
