Another Photog project.

This one was supposed to be "Perspectives"... from the point of view of an animal or something of the like...

Here are a few of my favorites, hope my teacher agrees in critique!


Ants!


A bug or something?...

A cat on the fence...

Oil painting project

Here's a project that is due after the weekend... Crossing my fingers for a good grade!  It's kind of an experiment with color used as the shading/highlights.

Created with Corel Painter 11, using various oil brushes.

Obsessed with cute tiny zipper pouches

Here's a little something I threw together in 10 minutes the other night... I love this fabric!


I have a stash of about 6 more zippers I can make pouches with... great way to use up my scrap fabric.  I may make a few mini-makeup bags for travel.

Xbox Bling!

I want this!  It's a totally blinged out xbox from a blog I sometimes browse and always enjoy...

Sewing day

Well since my first class back from spring break got canceled, I had all day to work on unfinished projects.  Mostly I cleaned and organized.  Right now these fabrics that were given to me are at the top of my pile for what's next.  Aren't they adorable?  I am thinking a quilt is probably in order...


Close-up of my favorite two:


When I figure out what the heck I'm doing with these you'll definitely see a post about it.

A couple other edits

A couple of my other photos I took somewhat recently in my local travels...


A day at the beach...



A day at the farm?

Homework is fun!

Couldn't wait to get back from being out of town to work on my homework!  Yes I've turned into a big nerd who enjoys doing my homework... but who wouldn't in my classes??  Here's the latest due when we get back from spring break.  It's a "corpse" collage... the assignment is to put together a crazy mix of body parts and go wild with the hue/saturation.


Another class's homework due soon is to put a mural on a building.  You take some photo and make it look like it's painted on the building...  I had a bit too much fun and included Master Chief hiding out in the shadows...Halo anyone? : )

Side photography projects

A quick snap turned into a beautiful old-car photo.  Was hoping the owner wasn't nearby as I was getting this picture by an apartment car-port.

Did some fun photoshop work playing with black and white settings and masking off the color portion.  I couldn't decide whether I liked the full tinted black and white, or the one where I leave in the red portions of the car.

What do you think?

chicken fever...

Well, I had Chicken Warhol already... in Painting class today we had an assignment I decided it would be fun to use my chicken photo for again.

The assignment was to choose a warm background canvas then paint with cool colored oils.  Then do the same painting with a cool canvas and warm colored oils.  Here were my results from playing around:



I think it's funny how the first one came out almost realistic, while the second is just ... not!  But I like the purple green and blue chicken :)
