Name that cow


I finally finished another one of my larger paper pieces. It's 11"x14", which may not sound all the big for some things....but for this process it is still very much of an undertaking for me.

This one is for a local show which, yes, ends up having quite a collection of cows.

I normally do watercolors for this show but figured I throw in something different this year.There has never been any torn paper collage of this sort in the show before....so I guess we'll see how well it goes over.
For the "white" parts of the cow I slipped in numerous little bits from one of the local newspapers.
The snout also has some pieces from the black and white label used in our local brewery.

Now.....I need a name....and I think I need some help with that.
Any ideas are welcome. Would love to know what others think.

Moo

Well....I've made my first Moo's. Yep...that's what they're called. Tiny cards that measure 1 1/8" x 2 3/4". These are "chunky" moos because they have all manner of chunky bits attached. From dimentional pieces on the cards to eyelets with fibers and charms and stuff dangling at the bottom.
These are for a special chunky moo booklet swap. I do hope the hostess and players enjoy these.
I found a sweet little cow stamp and made some cute little shrink plastic charms from it to dangle as real "moos"!
