You should have arrived here from the talented AJ - which is also the beginning!
I had asked Zoe to send me any two images, a background and a person or animal, to color so this the combination that arrived in my inbox! It made me laugh because it reminded me of the expression... "Does a bear s*** in the woods?" and so the combination was perfect to fit the Australian theme ... "Does a koala s*** in the outback?"
The images I used are Outback Dunny and Koala & Joey from Make it Crafty, plus some corner chippies in Fine Swirls. I used a little bit of burlap ribbon for texture and gray felt clouds to bring out the gray in the koalas. Plus with the green fields of the outback... it has to be during the rainy season! Here's a close-up of the Koalas...

Lovely composition Barbara, the Koalas and their gumtrees! I am a proud Aussie and love your interpretation.
ReplyDeleteHello Barbara,
ReplyDeleteYou've done it again! I always admire your colouring. It's great how you got the fur on the koala down to a T. You scene does suggest a koala s** in the outback but they are very civilised about it and do it in a dunny!
