There were many mirrored inkblots in the sketchbook which challenged my imagination.
 |
| This craziness started with a set of inkblots that looked like the one below. |
 |
| Starship Enterprise again? Horseshoe? Stingray? What do you see? |
 |
The original inkblot can be seen on the left with it's reimagined mirror image on the right.
I immediately saw these people who were bundled up in a parka, walking on a puddle. |
 |
| Maybe I should have extended the water across the entire page??? |
 |
| No original photo of this one, but I did immediately see elephant ears and trunk. Decided they were Elephant-ducks on ice skates. More inkblots were at the sides and were made in to the city with their reflections on the ice. |
 |
I played with collaging a face out of this inkblot.
Looking back I think I should have continued this idea. Oh well. |
 |
| This complex inkblot took on a whole different life. |
 |
| Two "people" (Maybe bears?) chatting chummily in the center, and then two odd chaps in large billed ball caps, each with just one giant hand. And then I had a random hand that said it needed to be coming up from the edge, so I obliged. |
 |
| Interesting flower garden with giant butterflies. The blue on each edge were the inkblobs. |
 |
I asked a friend what she saw here and one of the suggestions were the legs of a giant bird.
Okay, I see that, so why not. |
 |
| Soooo. . . whatever. |
 |
| I was seeing monkeys riding horses or something, but my daughter had a different idea. |
 |
| She saw a bat. Once she mentioned a bat, I saw it too. |
 |
And so they were born to fly the night sky.
It's just too bad its little face is in the crack of the page. |
