Glasses so you can see the size, 8*10,5 cm / 3,1*4,1 inches - Ingo said I should tell.
Why "OKERKIND"? (Kind = child)
Here you see Baby Henry on a mug from the tourist shop (yes, we from time to time shop there) - he´s in a boat on river Oker.
Ingo just had a coffee from it.
If you care about why it´s Henry and not Leo the Lion have a look on this post.
With this Henry I join Eileen´s Saturday Critters.
I also tried this, but not very successful:
Why I share it? If some beginner pops in here.. that´s life, some sketches go crap - keep on trying. Maybe I go over it again or I throw it away, but I do not give up.
He his from another streetfind, hence not really Henry - an old book about animals.
You have to be really careful to not lose pages - and you better do it outside.
The pre-owner must´ve stored it in a cellar, it stinks, LOL!
On non-rainy days I put it outside open, so by now the smell is not as bad no more...
Someone bought this book even before my parents met - a funny thought I found it.
The title?
When I step outside there are loads of tiny birds that fly away - nearly like in Hitchcock´s movie, just they don´t stare at you, they panic. Each and every time. Don´t they learn humans are no danger - or am I the only one who does not harm them...
Is the mass because of the mostly too cold and too rainy summer?
What are they? They are small, dark grey and superfast.
Henry 🦁
The weather cooled down again. I think that was that with summer.
One of the crappiest I can remember.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI love the baby lion and the sketch. Yes if we fail at anything, we must all keep trying. The lion statue is my favorite. The birds do tend to spook easily, they may fly away but they come back. It is a shame the old book has a funny smell. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
Thank you, Eileen. Yes, we must keep trying!
ReplyDeleteBut why do the birds not learn?
Well, Peanut, our squirrel(s), run away if they see me, too. What do they think where the daily walnuts come from?!
Anyhows, to a great weekend!
You find so many Henrys Iris. I love the big pride photos you've shared recently, and today's book cover. And I also have to add, nice Henry drawings today. I'm glad he can be kind on your mug because in some pictures of him, like that old book, he doesn't look very friendly-smile! Happy start to your weekend. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteErika, it´s all thanks to Facebook!
ReplyDeleteThe Henry-copy (don´t let him ever know, he really thinks he is the original) cares a lot about his Braunschweig people - and tourists, of course! - and is never mean.
You are always to greet him - luckily just him, Braunschweig is full of lions... you´d greet a lot! 🥰
...Iris, I LOVE your Henry!
ReplyDeleteWhich one? ;-)
ReplyDeleteThey all say thank you, but reckon you mean the cool one from FB ;-)
Creative people sometimes produce art that they are not happy about then do it again until they are satisfied. I like the Henry statue in the last image.
ReplyDeleteI like your little Henry in the boat art, Iris.
ReplyDeleteWe've had a long hot summer and I hope the worst is behind us. Hope your weekend is nice!
