Peanuts - Charlie Brown

 

Hello all and welcome to a new week and a new theme. As many of you will have seen the theme for the week is the comic strip Peanuts. 

When I was a kid I grew up with Snoopy and his friends, my sister was a huge fan and I remember there being various cuddly toys and other Peanuts themed memorabilia around the house. 

I thought that the best way to start the week would be with one of the main characters of the strip, Charlie Brown, I think he is one of my favourites.

For this sculpture I used 2 different sized balloons for the head (and ears and neck) then made the body from a further 3 bits of balloon, as always I used left over scraps to create this sculpture.  I finished off by photographing the sculpture and then adding the features and zig zag stripe in Photoshop, (the thought bubble Charlie did himself).

See you tomorrow folks
