If you've not heard of Dewey Blocksma before, you should check him out. He worked as a physician for some time but decided to quit and pursue his art career, he is an amazingly kind and smart person. He brought all kinds goodies for us to use.
Meet Sam.
His head is made from a bowl, wooden spoons, buttons, bobbers and wire. His body is is made from two tennis rackets, my lungs stress ball, yarn and electrical wire that was taken out of a broken stop light (and his little peeper is made from magazine beads). I attached him to a wooden board and covered that with strips of felt.
While assemblage isn't my favorite way to create, I have a certain fondness for Sam - he was my first official art project in school. He kind of reminds me of a cross between Herbie from Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and Dobby from Harry Potter.
