Nein............ich brauche es wohl nicht näher erläutern, Schlangen sind mir nicht grad die liebsten Exemplare der Tierwelt.
Vielleicht.....nur Vorurteile, denn als Kind habe ich mal eine Schlange angefasst (ein recht lebendiger Biologie-Unterricht in der Grundschule war schuld und bescherte uns den Besuch einer Boa Constrictor), sie fühlte sich erstaunlich warm und angenehm an. Trotzdem: eine Schlange kommt mir nicht ins Haus!
Bei der drawing challenge bereitet uns Ariane schon mal auf das Jahr der Schlange vor.
Yes.............in the stranglehold of the snake (Moleskine 13 x 21 cm, pencil and watercolour) - did I watch too many horror movies?
No..............I think I don't have to explain more in detail, snakes aren't my favourite examples of wildlife.
Maybe.........just prejudice, because I once touched a snake when I was a child (fault of a very lively biology teaching in primary school that brought a visit of a boa constrictor), it felt surprisingly warm and acceptable. But anyway: no snake coming to my house!
With this week's drawing challenge Ariane prepares us for the year of the snake.
Ha- yes this is classic...and yet possibly a modern fashion statement?? Your snake does look warm and acceptable- a lovely pattern :)
AntwortenLöschenShe doesn't look very happy with that snake around her neck! She should have chosen a wool scarf. Love the patterns. Very snakeskin shoes/bags chic.
AntwortenLöschenI see this as a neck-warmer in a high fashion magazine. This is brilliant and I love the colour of it. So great. The woman's eyes are not so sure, however. What a nightmare you have captured. When I was a child I was fishing and was carrying my big rod (fishing off a cliff in the ocean for rock cod) and was barefoot and walking in a grassy area and I stepped right on top of a nest of baby snakes and the second I felt the wriggling, I was scared stiff on the spot screaming like you could hear me on the moon. They wiggled even more to try to get away and out from under me. It was hideous. Another time when I was camping in a grassy area, I was walking barefoot again, on a path, and I saw the grass moving beside me and I stopped so the grass stopped; moved and grass moved; stopped and grass stopped, etc. I looked closer. It was a black racer following me. It was smart enough to stop when I stopped. You can imagine how fast I ran. I am not a fan of the snake I am afraid. Love your drawing. *smiles* Norma, x
AntwortenLöschenthis does remind me of an old movie, i get the gist. and look, you mention movie! you got inspired!!
AntwortenLöscheni'm no snake lover myself. the things snakes can do, like swallow up whole a human being. that's just wrong!

If your beautiful patterned snakes(love the use of graph paper) would be produced in aspecial but soft fabric, i'm sure they would be loved and worn, it would be a snake i could share my house with, xx

First I've seen the beautiful snake as a collier, dear Tania, but then... her facial expression... like the Ladies in a Hitchcock Movie!
AntwortenLöschenBeautiful drawing. I like the colours and patterns very much. Thank you for playing.
Liebe Grüße von Ariane.
Du zeichnest auf kariertes Papier, cool.
AntwortenLöschenJa, diese Zeichnung erinnert an alte Filme, hab ich auch gleich gedacht.
Schöne Farbpalette!
Darf ich Dich zum nächsten d.c. einladen?
Herzlichst
Stefanie
Im Würgegriff der Schlange - das perfekte Cover für einen Hitchcock Thriller...im Haus haben möchte ich sie aber auch nicht!
AntwortenLöschenHerzliche Grüße
Sabine
I get the horror movie but the snakes go so well with her hair! -sus
AntwortenLöschenI also have that something with snakes....don´t like much.
AntwortenLöschenThis year is snake year...so we will have to accept them ;)
ich dachte auch gleich an "bei anruf mord" oder "das fenster zum hof"... ich empfehle hier den titel "schlangenbiss um mitternacht" oder so... toll!!
AntwortenLöschenliebe grüße mano
die dreierbande war übrigens heiß begehrt! da hätte ich fünf von haben können... gut, dass du sie dir rechtzeitig geschnappt hast!
I too find snakes creepy, and one time I had to spend an entire week with an albino pet snake, some friends had brought to the cabin we were sharing during a holiday (in the US, of course).
AntwortenLöschenThe drawing is very creative.
