What did Dorothy say to Elizabeth Bennett when Paddington Bear came stumbling in, marmalade spilt all down his freshly laundered coat? "Well, I never, it must be Scribble Picnic!"
That's right, our next art meetup for this coming Wednesday, Jan 10th, is all about presenting your favourite person (or creature) from fiction. It doesn't have to be a literary character — s/he could just as well come from the movies, a TV show, or even comics. You tell us, and please share why you chose this particular hero/heroine/antihero/nemesis or what have you. Thank you! Can't wait to see who you bring along. Won't it be the most thrilling picnic? I mean, I've always wanted to ask Sherlock about Dr. Who, for example. :)
A world full of possible candidates are just waiting to be invited. Check them out! Better make sure our snack offering is also worthy of such appeal. Yes, this IS going to be fun! :) If you haven't joined us in a while or want to jump in for the first time, the start of a new year is as good a time as any. Oh, and if you think of it, perhaps you'd even consider what your character might say noodling with the rest of us? I can see it now... The Pink Panther to Dorothy: "Um, heh, any pink diamonds in that emerald city of yours?"

DeleteIf you are on IG or Twitter, you could always join us there, alternatively, by simply using #scribblepicnic and hash tag the prompt ("fictioncharacter").
It's going to be fun. My "invite" list is getting rather long. Hmm...perhaps I need to whittle it down come? :)
Such a wonderful piece. I wonder who it is of? Wink wink.
ReplyDeleteI hope to be able to join you this time.
I hope so too! And whilst this was from imagination, Alex's legs would have certainly worked. :)
DeleteI'm so excited about this! Gosh I have so many ideas, all very MACABRE lol... Your Yellow Brick Road is amazing Michael! Thanks for posting this as a motivator, it has certainly worked on me!! :)
ReplyDeleteNothing make me more thrilled that to read that. Thank you! Yes, I wrote "nemesis" specifically with you in mind, dear Rain. I trust it to be suitably mysterious and possibly dark. Enjoy. Can't wait to see who your drag in, as it were. :)
DeleteOh gosh Michael, what a lovely Dorothy and like everyone else...that yellow brick road...amazing. I love the lacy border to her dress and of course her dazzling red shoes. I ready to head down the brick road...I love many fictional characters, but think I have decided on one...or two.....
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see who you bring along, Wanda! :) Wear your finest too, b/c you never know who you might bump into. I certainly have a few entertaining scenarios running around upstairs. :)
DeleteI may just surprise you this time....thinking out of the box.
DeleteOh Michael you must have been thinking of me when you did this! hahaha...I love it! Totally love it. I watched the video's too. Like Wanda I love Dorothy and the gang! Thanks for the wonderful comment on my blog. I had to laugh out loud with you talking about the denim dress! And YES, I will probably have all those earrings made for next yr. Be something to keep me busy and out of trouble! Loving your blog.
ReplyDeleteI AM glad you saw the humour in that denim dress, msut say. It still burns in the back of my memory banks, ya know. :) Maybe you could wear that with your accompanying "date" or character to the Fiction Picnic? Now, talk about making a lasting impression. :D Thank you
DeleteWell off to the drawing board hmmm...

actually, I have a ton of favorite characters I could draw, far too many, but strangely, I couldn't even think of a single name now. just check out the pintest board - looks good. I'll try to finish something.
ReplyDeletehave a lovely day.
With all the reading you do, you must have tons, Lissa! :) If you can, great, if not, that's ok too and you'll be missed.
DeleteA virtual picnic, and I can bring a fictional friend, I love it! Is there going to be a potluck buffet, too? Let's see... how about Pippi Longstockings?
ReplyDeleteTotally and wouldn't she be fun to have along! :)
