While cleaning up the detritus of our Chinese dinner I picked up the bag that it came in - gorgeous, thick, brown paper that was just begging to be used as more than garbage. . . so I did.
My family is used to me cutting up the "garbage" to draw on - our younger son brings me interesting wrappers on a regular basis - things he thinks would be cool to collage with other pieces - like the saying from the cookie that I put with the girl.
Our English friends say, 'Fancy an Indian or do you fancy a Chinese?" when deciding what to order for take-out food. It always made me picture picking up an actual person to eat with us - not just getting the food. Tickles me so much that I've adopted the saying too!

Happy SS

All this talk of takeaways has made me 'fancy a Chinese' LOL.

I love the linework in your drawing, and great recycling work too!
Exquisite face! Love the colors you have used on the brown bag! :-) Looking forward to "Fancy an Indian" painting too!
Great drawing Michelle! I love how your mind sees the potential for art everywhere! We always say we're going to eat Chinese - food not people. Obviously we are hilarious!
