So far as I got....

I was fooling around with Photoshop and tried to do a grayscale image of...dun dun dunn...My Doll! Yes, yes I know. Sooo this is as far as I got with it before my trial period finished up and I can no longer work on it anymore.

Cafe Crazy

In some ways I feel like clay cafe is a cop out....And yet, I love it! You can plan something simple, go in pint it on a plate, and be done! Voila, insta cermic peice. So far I have made a teapot and cup for my Papa, 4 coasters for my sister in law, 8 other coasters 4 for each aunt on my Mums side aaaand of course my Skull I made with Mandi. Next i will endeavour to do a portrait of my neice. A little nervercking painting ceramis is nooothing like other painting....Well, maybe acrylics ifyou're usingthem literally from the bottle nd not blending... but >,> I'm going to try blending colours Skintones oh my!! Oh maybe everythng should just be in black and white?

OH!! And I also made my neice a piggybank I am in love with, it's a black and white pig with pink stars....I'd take pictures, eventually. For now? Here is my long overdue Skull lamp..... and a random watercolour that's part of a secret santa exchange with Dolls.

Headcase

Drawing...Drawing is what I know I should be doing..I'm determined next weekat least I'm starting a one a day thing with these little banana leaf fish I have. I must draw them,. Until then? I'm making doll things! Yay! Errr...eh, yes, So Imade headbands....and this is them. They're er..kinda shitty, but I tried!

Pages of fail

So I should take a bookmaking cours...okay, notI'm capable of reading the books on how to make booksand following the directions on my own even! What I NEED is some proper tools. A bone thingy, and scoringness and...yess...well, and maybe patience as well.

So basically I am doing a secret santa with the BJD world....So I made (or tried to make) aSD doll sized book. It's sort of cute...? I feel like I should try again and maybe I will but oyyy, making christmas presents is hard! Buying things is just so much easier except I have no money. ...

Ten days

So I have officially made my room livable for some semblance of human habitatoion. Yay! I really wish I had two rooms though. Like..an apartement, Yes... a three bedroom apartement one room for me, one for a roomie perhaps and the third would allow me to have a studio! I need space just to store my art supplies let alone to use them. I really only have space to do sketches right now, small drawings where I can sit in the living room. So I am at least determined to continue that one! I have twenty pages left empty in my Harlow book......so if I can do teo a day it'll be done by next week. Yay! Then onto other things, I ahve christmas presents I need to make, and buy.... My Mum wants a painting of my neice. So I figure I can try and get that done..maybe - water colour or acrylic I am not sure.... Every eight hours or so I'm trying to put a coat of stain on my donkey...So far I fail at staining wood and it looks horribly uneven. Sand off and try again I guess? Haven't gotten back to clay cafe to finish my skull...Really need to get that done soon, tomorrow maybe...

Oh Productivity

I actually feel productive today. I got up before noon! I went into town, I painted a skull-lamp at Clay Cafe and spent some time with Mandi-darling. Our socializing aspect however of art makings sort of failed. :P Mostly because we were very focused on making pretty things!

And when you make one thing...really don't you feel like making more? So I got a couple other sketches in my old Harlow sketchbook done. Soon it will be filled and I will move on to other things! Like mosaic tables, coasters! the plate set I want or...maybe even....creaitng a body of work?

hohum

Dowloaded a free trial of photoshop cs4. I am in love. Squee~ Gradient scales are so lovely. Soo I toyed around and made my chara Bella... and then made it with less leafy things.
