Doodle: "In The Shadow Of A Rose"

Thanks to my friend Hazel Mitchell for the bouquet of flowers that helped create this found object (or should I say found shadow?) doodle. 

How it happened: I wanted to do a found object doodle with one of the flowers, but didn't want to take a flower just after getting the bouquet. I spent a while thinking and then thought hey, maybe I can hold up a piece of paper against the bouquet and draw around the flowers that way.

But when I did, shadows got in the way. And then I thought HEY, that one shadow looks kind of like a woman's face. So I decided to work with it.

Here's a photo showing more of the setup:

 

I love creating found object doodles and post them on Instagram"Found Object Art" gallery on Flickr, Pinterest, Tumblr  and in my Found Object Art portfolio.
