Here’s a sneak preview of part of my Web of Interbeing project! I’m in the midst of adding an illusion of depth here; you can see the contrast with the undeveloped parts as I choose shapes to push back and pull forward. Although the doe is in shadow, I added a hint of an eye. Here’s a before photo for comparison:

It’s exciting to be adding the final details! Since it’s a round piece of paper, bits of the underneath layers are showing in the lower right corner. I’ll trim those off once I decide on the final placement of each piece and add the spacers.

And this is a sneak preview of one side of my design for Cheekwood’s Great Spring Art Hunt! This is just the basic idea on paper; it’ll look different as a 4-foot tall painted piece of plywood. Instead of their usual Easter Egg Hunt, Cheekwood chose 9 artists to decorate plywood bunnies, which will be hidden in different spots on the grounds. The goal is to find all the rabbits! The Great Spring Art Hunt is April 2 and 3, and each family will receive goodies and a guide to locate all the bunnies. You can learn more here:
