Flights of Fantasy - Jay Dodds

     I finally have my "Flights of Fantasy" ready to post!  I loved doing this theme! I knew when it was first introduced what I wanted to do...I love pictures on the Internet from NASA...the Nebulas, the Constellations, etc. so I knew I wanted to use one of those for my basis.

Then using black Kona cotton for my fabric background and Derwent watercolor blocks, I created my own picture of space!

My "Flights of Fantasy"
       Of course I had to add the "flight" and the "fantasy".  I am a fan of the Syfy character "Dr. Who"...so I thought his Time Machine, the Tardis would be a nice touch of fantasy....flying through space!  Now I know that Science Fiction is just that...fiction...or is it?????

And I have no excuse for being late so I want to offer my apology to the group with the promise that I will really try to be on time from now on!!!!

  1. Apology not required. This is just the best example of Flights of Fantasy and the time machine is the cat's meow.
