...that's the theme I chose for the latest Making Art! Challenge over on the Everything Wendy Vecchi Yahoo! Group...based on a project from Wendy's Book One, Page 34. I thought with the three different elements, it would prove a little more challenging for the group, but, alas, I failed to make it too difficult, and some (who shall remain nameless, but you know who you are), whipped something wonderful up in about a day. :) I, on the other hand, had to take a little more time to think of something.
So...Father's Day is Sunday. Dewbird doesn't have kids, and neither do I, but we do include Rocky in that category...so I made a chipboard thingie for Father's Day for the Dewbird from Rocky (I'll throw the cats in on it, too, shouldn't exclude them, lest they develop an inferior complex, but somehow, I don't think cats are capable of that). Here we go:
The deets:
Square - about 5 x 5, chip covered with pieces from Lost and Found paper stack, inked with Brushed Cord and edged with tissue tape
Big *ss Circle on Square - chip covered with old ledger paper, stamped with tire tread stamp in one direction, then alternated to make diamond type pattern, and Wendy's itty bitty number stamp randomly in black. Black Ric Rak glued under edge of circle, then ball chain glued to the rim of the circle on the ric rak.
Motorcycle stamp - unknown - Ebay find.
The guy stamp is Wendy's, stamped a couple of times, and paper pieced together to make him "sit" on the bike. The scale is darn near perfect to the bike, isn't it? Awesome.
Salvage stickers form the words
There's those stars again, this time covered with some Platinum and Black Diamond Stickles.
Overall, I like it. I'm really stoked that the guy fits the bike so well. I'm sure I'll be using that combo again.
While I was making this, I tried a couple of different positions of the guy and the bike, and I took some shots for your entertainment.....here he is.... back from Vegas....

I absolutely adore these all. Your mind works in fabulous ways to come up with the multi positions!. The first one with the stars and the glitter is my fav. Great pieces. take care, gerri
Stinkin' adorable Lori! I love how they fit together so well. And that mid-air pose is too cool. Love the chain on the ric-rac! Great job!
Love them all! The one you featured is the most detailed, but the others are just too much fun. Your mind does work in very mysterious ways....
Lol!!! The one on his back is my fave. Seriously, tho, this is crazy cool - I love what you did with the ric rac and chain. Fantastic all-around!
You are too funny and so creative! Love all variations!
Hilarious, Lori! LOVE all these variations. At first the tire tracks caught my attention most but then when I saw where you were going... oooh lah lah!
I looked at the first piece and thought "How did she do that?!?!" and then I cracked up looking at the others.... such a fantastic show of creativity... you GO girl!
I just love your humor in your artwork. It is just wonderful and I enjoy looking at it over and over again. Thanks for sharing.
Lori...you have got the Wendy Vecchi thing goin' on girlfriend! LOVE all of your pieces. The "Good Times" is just amazing! Love everything about it. And the guy doing the cycle tricks...too funny! Your sense of humor really comes through on these pieces! Love Love Love them all!!! <3 Candy
You are so funny! I love all the poses. Great piece.
oh wow hun these are brilliant great pieces hugs cherylxxx
These are fantastic, so humorous, wonderful work, so inspirational xx
Oh, Lori you crack me up! I love that you made him fit the bike once, never mind all the variations. I am so glad you made this one a two weeker or I'd be struggling - still in the thinking stages here!!
It is AWESOME!
How perfect is the vintage motorcyclist stamp for you? Truly perfect, I'd say, considering what you have created with him! Fab art, Lori!
Love it! I got my morning chuckle over the various poses - those are great!
Lori - these are Awesome! I dont' have that exact motorcyle, but I need to see if that guy will fit on the one I do have - love this!
What a great idea and the other poses you came up with are just too funny! Love when you do that since it gives me a laugh. Way cool bike stamp- don't have anything remotely like that in my collection. Have to work on my challenge piece too.
These variations are soooo cool!!!
Can't wait to see what the little and his bike get up to next!!
This is awesome Lori!
Awesome Awesome work Lori. How about making him into a wheel so you can just turn it to get the poses.
Wow what great pieces Lori, this guy fits the bike perfectly and I love the vintage colours too. Great masculine pieces. Tracy x
Absolutely fabulous Lori! love how you took photos of the different poses. I am sure the card will be truly appreciated.
LOLOL Love all the poses and the finished piece is fabulous!!!!
You are just toooooooo funny! Love the fun poses for "the Man". GREAT thought to paper piece him together, too. All in all, a GREAT creation!
Oy Lori! This is CRAZY cool! It's beautiful and awesome!
I do like the additional "positions" some of which seem, ahm, risque. :)
The final though, it's INSPIRING!
Have a great weekend!
Lori, what fun and delightful ART you have created with these wonderful stamps! Diann
Love love love your 'good times' piece Lori it's amazing. Oh and what a laugh I had at your guy on the bike positions...awesome missus!!!
hugs
Chris xx
Lori this is a real funny one but also a truly fab design. Just love your idea and creativity...maybe next time you'll make it on a rotating circle... so we can all play!
Too funny! It that really Dewbird on ALL those bikes?
Another fantastic make, Lori. I really like the colors and that vintage motorcycle is terrific. But what is totally sensational is the way you manipulated the rider - how cool is that? And the stars are always a winner!
OMG Lori these are hysterical and awesome!!! I've been trying to figure out what to do with this stamp and your idea is just totally brilliant! And congrats on making Wendy's blog AGAIN! GO YOU!
Frestylin' Frankie is awesome!!! Lol! x
Hilarious variations, Lori! Such fun you must've had playing with your creation :-)
