Okay, so I'm sitting in the worst class in the world right now, doing absolutely nothing for the rest of the year, so I figured I'd update on how my art project thing is going.

I finished the Poison Apple, which I re-named "I Don't Take Apples from Strangers", and then had an idea to do like a whole classic Disney series. I just finished yesterday "Never Trust a Bottle with a Vague Label", which is the 'Drink Me' bottle from Alice in Wonderland. I'll upload pictures soon-ish of each of them.

But now I'm stuck. What should I do next? I could do Cinderella's slipper ("Footwear is Best Made with Laces"), but I feel like it would need more to it thatn I can think of at the moment, so I don;t want to work on something yet if I don;t have a clear image in my head of how I want it to be at the end.

I could do Sleeping Beauty with a needle ("Always Wear a Thimble"), but I'm not sure if people would get it, plus I can't think of something to put on the piece to signify that its being offered to her by the witch (In "I Don't Take Apples from Strangers", I had above the apple 'Just a bite?' and I think that really brought it all together).

I could do Aladdin with the lamp (No name as of yet), and I think it would be cool because I'm planning on using red for the background, which will be new for me, but I really can't draw lamps and I have no idea what its missing, because it is definitely missing something in my mind.

Little Mermaid is always an option, except I don't know what pivotal object I could use in the piece. A fork maybe? I really don't want to do a seashell, its way too cliche. But the colors for that piece would be a nice mixture of pastels, different from the others.

Sleeping Beauty I could maybe do, and I'd use the rose, but I can't paint a rose. I suck at them. Maybe if I take a picture of one and cut it out....? But the background for that would be bold colors, like stained glass, and then muted with a thin layer of dark blue paint. Plus, I don't have words for that one either.

Then there's Fantasia, Pochahontas, Lion King, Pinnochio, Dumbo, Bambi, Peter Pan, Lady and the Tramp, The Jungle Book, The Aristocats, Mulan, Tarzan, oy!!! There are so many it makes my head spin! As for this list, I either haven't thought about them much or don't know the movies well enough to think about them.
I need suggestions on the focal object of these movies, like I had with the first two I did, and words to put on them, or, heck, even names would be helpful!


So whaddaya say guys....
HELP????

Don't you hate it when you have this perfect image of something you want to create in your mind, but then you realize you have no idea whatsoever how to go about creating it? I went to an arts festival yesterday in Atlanta while visiting family, and since then, I've had several ideas of pieces of art I'd love to create. I can see them so clearly in my mind's eye, I just don't know how to make them. So I've decided to take a week of summer vacation and just create. I'm gonna grab some modge podge, old magazines, acrylic paint, wood, newspapers, tissue paper, foil, pencils, pastels, photos, you name it! I'm excited. Now, all I need is the money to buy the stuff. -_-

Current Ideas:
Poison Apple
Picture frames that are decorated to fit the photo within
I'm Lying to You, Ann
Bubbles
School's Out
What Happened to Clearly Defined?

Anyone else have ideas they'd like to share?

I would give my right pinky toe to have the imagination Lewis Carroll had.

Can you imagine a world all your own, with creatures and words no one has ever thought of before? I wish i could. I think I'm going to try.

Lewis Carroll is my favorite poet, because he wrote "The Jabberwocky", a poem I have been obsessed with since I was a little kid. In 4th grade I made my dad teach it to me, and now I can only recite it in a British accent because that's how he taught it to me, and frankly, I think that's the best way to say it.

P.S. Tim Burton is a genius. I  would give my left pinky toe to have his imagination.
