I had fun looking at these wooden hand carved puppets at the Puppet Museum in Lisbon - very angular faces and interesting stereotypical facial expression so common in puppetry . I think they were of Dutch origin , and if you are ever in Lisbon this little gem of a well curated museum is def a must for designers !! Sketching the details while observing loosely really makes one observe the intricacies ( 👉🏻scroll for close up ) .. #limolidasketchbook . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #puppets #puppetry #marionette #woodcrafting #woodcraft #woodendoll #travelinspired #lisbonportugal #lisbonlovers #dutchdesign #designinspiration #sketchoftheday #sketchbooks #designersofinstagram #textiledesign #toydesign #kidstoys #puppettheatre #antiquetoys #puppentheater #handpuppets #becreative #carveouttimeforart #marioneta (at Museu da Marioneta) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo9Bi_Ug1H6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qgmrbgfzn1f

Airless rotational symmetry play this morning to warm up .. always interesting to see how from a small inner circle the other rings develop and something quite unexpected emerges if one surrenders to playful flow ... #limolidasketchbook . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #sketchoftheday #sketchbookdrawing #inktober2018 #inktober #inkdrawing #symmetry #symmetrical#kaleidoscope #mandala #mandalaart #rotational #carveouttimeforart #createeveryday #becreative #motif #winteriscoming #wintermood https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo1K2GJArK8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qv0k3lw64nzc
