especially for Art...

thanks for the encouraging comment... you are the inspiration!

i used various sized Woody's, and smaller printing on the back "track" to get the appearance of depth.

pencil props were just glued together and propped up using metal washers coated with electrical tape and fastened to the eraser end using a thumb tack

hurdle Woody and pole-vault Woody were suspended from above using fishing line

I love these guys. Perfect for this challenge. I wish the two in the front looked more like they were running instead of speed walking contest. I love the colors and even the nice cloudy background.
