Shadow Cat Doodle

Out of context and transformed by the added ink lines, the shadow above doesn't look like a shadow anymore, does it? The illusion was so complete that when it came time to take the photo, I kept having to resist the urge to move the flower so I could get a better shot.

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.

Experimenting with shadow doodles. After some experimenting, I've discovered that I can create great hard-edged shadows using the flashlight function of my iPhone 5s.

Here's a photo of my set-up (the MedalLights are turned off, only using my iPhone for lighting):

And for those who prefer happy dogs over vaguely creepy shadowguys, here's another doodle using exactly the same shadow:

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:
