Doodle: Lilac Sheep

Lilacs are one of my favourite flowers. I prefer the fragrance of purple lilac, but was still delighted with the hite lilac tree in the front yard of our house when we first moved in. Especially this morning, when I realized I could use it in my sheep doodle. :-) I had tried to bring home a dandelion puff (gone to seed) earlier in the week for a sheep doodle, but it disintegrated when I tried to place it on the paper.

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.

For those curious, here's the photo set-up for this doodle:

I ran out of blue paper (which I used for the lily-of-the-valley moustache doodle earlier this week) and found that the white of the lilacs faded into the white of the paper, so I added the blue tint to the background via Photoshop before posting. I did this by adding a layer of blue with the Multiply method, then masking out the lilacs.
