Charissa!
Congratulations! Please send me your mailing address to DrawingSaudadeBlog at gmail.com and I'll send it to you right away.
Also, paging Christima LMT, I have your echidna card and need your address as well, so send it my way so I can get it out to you!
For all my other lovely readers, do not worry, we are just at doodle 6, and I plan on doing 12, so there are pretty good odds that you will end up with one too, hang in there!
Today's card:
 |
| Zebra, blue mechanical pencil, watercolor, micron pen on watercolor paper. Aprox 1 hr. |
Yay zebras! To win this lovely card all you have to do is write a zebra themed Haiku.
Terrible Haiku example by yours truly:
"The zebra runs far
With the warm wind on his back
Escaping lions"
I have never written one before and this was actually Andrei's idea, so I searched online and found a cool tool to help beginners write Haikus: http://writeahaiku.com/
It actually keeps track of your syllables so it makes things easier.
You have between now and tomorrow at 10:00 P.M. EST to write a quick one. Then leave it on the comments section on this post and I'll pick a winner.
Don't worry, you can do eet!

This is simply lovely.
water run escape
danger is coming: close in
the stripes will protect
zebra stripes white black
like a fingerprint, unique
run wild, free zebra
Oh, this would be perfect! My bedroom is done in zebras :-) I'm also horrible at stuff like this, but here's mine:
The zebra runs free
across the savanna plains
behold his beauty.
I love all these cards and have been wanting to enter the drawings, but I'm holding out hope that one of the cards will be a dragon mask. Can you give me a hint whether that will be one of the cards or not? Please? :)
God's merry paintbrush
On this one: black stripe, white stripe.
Look! It's a zebra!
Zebra conundrum:
Is my coat black with white stripes
Or other way 'round?
*Plushies*
The hunter and prey,
Zebra and lion cuddle
On my daughter's bed.
*I didn't know if you could title a haiku or not. :)

talented artist
merry christmas from saudade
i'd love this zebra
p.s. i realized after i hit submit that i don't actually know how to pronounce saudade so i really hope it is two syllables otherwise my haiku doesn't work! (yes, i realize it was pretty bad, but you didn't insist they had to be spectacular. xoxo) hope that doesn't disqualify me because i would be honored to have this piece hanging in my home.
thanks so much for sharing your art with us!
becky
Black and white stripes abound
Standing out within a crowd
each are different
Happy, fast, striped equine,
running in the fields of Africa
wild, free, fine, Zebra
That was hard! It's not great, but it's the best I've got. :)
Shade and light in flesh,
Traversing dangerous lands,
Strength in unity.
Looks like a striped horse
But closer kin to donkeys,
Zebras bark like dogs.
Oh! I won! Yay, I love the tiger!
I know I'm not eligible to win a second card, I just really want to write a zebra haikus!
What's black and white and
Red all over? A sunburned
Zebra. Ha Ha Ha!
African ponies
Monochrome meat on the hoof
Can't fool the lions!
Zebra fashion woes!
Black on white or white on black?
I clash with cheetahs.
Thanks guys! Now I have to read all of these and decide who wins... it is gonna be a tough one, I can tell.
Please standby *Plugs in elevator music*
