Week 26 CH-CH-CHANGES (But Not Really)

It's okay if you want to ignore the terrible joke that is this entry's title. I know I'm going to from here on out.

I did most of the "H" yesterday while Mom and I were chilling out watching old sitcoms on Netflix. For being situation "comedies" those things sure are depressing sometimes. Today I just straightened out the lines some. I'm going to glue them together, but for blog purposes this will suffice.

I have no idea what to draw for Week 27...

Week 26 Gets Crafty Again

Looking at the Week numbers I realize that I'm a week behind somehow. Maybe once life calms down I'll do two weeks at once.

Anyway, drawing for this week was NOT working out for me, so instead I decided to do a craft. My mom actually requested some fancy painting letters to hang on the wall. I'm doing both her initials but I finished this one today. The other letter will be an H for our last name, and will be red and white stripes.

Also Paint Tool SAI is the only program that flips my images properly and it won't open.

Week 19 Gets Crafty

Due to the current chaos of moving half-way across the country and most of my art supplies being packed (those that I did not give away), I feel like Week 19 being simple is not only understandable but unavoidable. I also finished these days ago, before everything I own was in boxes, but they were gifts for people who see this blog and I didn't want to ruin any surprises.

This one I finished first. It's a gift for my cousin who runs the Gurgle Burp blog and loves Octopi. She also loves the box! And somehow Chrome does not recognize that plural of "octopus" as a word.

This next box was a birthday gift for my mother, which was yesterday. It's made to match the awesome bedspread in her new apartment, with an accent of her favorite color. I'm quite pleased with how it turned out.

I actually have one more to finish, which I hope will be today. I'm staying with aforementioned cousin and there's a ton of craft supplies here that they're cool with me borrowing.

Derailing from Week Twenty-Nine For A Bit

The first painting of the semester for Intermediate painting was something like completed last night, and so transferring it from my house to the bus to my first class to the actual painting studio was a bit of a chore since oil paint is never in a hurry to dry. Anyway, there were things I wasn't happy with and thanks to the critique I know what I can do to improve it... which will happen eventually. At least by the end of the semester. For now, it's time to consider my next painting.

Also, here's a fun little thing that I painted during a craft therapy-session with a couple of friends over Labor Day weekend. If woodworking and I weren't mortal enemies, I'd take off the front and re-attach it with a hinge so that I could decorate the inside too. Alas, it's not meant to be.

I'll try to have my friend's birthday drawing done by the end of this week, since that's kinda what I meant to do for Twenty Nine anyway.

Week Twenty-One is Crafty

This week wasn't for drawing so much, but that doesn't mean it lacked creative endeavors. I made the origami boxes above for an upcoming party, and also made this doll room and box shown below:

They're to scale for 12 inch dolls. Here's one in the room before it and the blanket were done:

Next week I'm hoping to actually draw something complex.
