pysanky


Well, I've returned to Pysanky.

I was cleaning out a box of stuff (finally) when I came across a carton of my Ukrainian eggs. They re-inspired me to try the art again, and since all my dyes were still sitting on the shelf, I dove right in. 

My first egg was admittedly pretty horrible. But my second attempt came out well!

kitten

Poor blog... it's been neglected.

Maybe I'll have more time to post during Christmas break...

Here's a kitten I sketched and painted recently.
  :)


Merry Christmas!

Aragorn

Surprise, surprise.
Another Lord of the Rings character.
Hm. 
I'll draw someone else next time.
:S


but I like him a lot better than Frodo!

Frodo

Here's what I've been working on recently...

Frodo Baggins!
 

Let me just say... faces are quite a challenge.
that left eye....
 :P 
 
But overall, I think I'm happy with him.

pencils

Here's something I did a month or two ago...


My brother's Converse.
I stole them from the shoe rack.
He got a little confused about where they were, 
until he saw them perched on my desk.
:P


I think all my energy will be focused on pencil drawings for a while...

graduations

Here are a few cards I made, using scherenschnitte, for some friends who are graduating:

pink...


and yellow....



Yes. They are same, just different colors. 
:P

tote bag

Wow... I just dug up this post from a loooong time ago, which I never posted. 
So.
Here we are:

A tote bag.


All I did was stick tape to the bag in lines, then paint fabric paint between the lines.


Very simple.
But I like the result.

triangles

Well, here's something I painted a while ago. 
Just a fun, colorful little piece! 

I had a hard time getting the right angled lines.
Lots of drawing and erasing.

On another note, school is almost over...
1 paper, 2 tests, 2 recitals, 2 finals, and then SUMMER!

the oysters

I'm back, with another painting!
:O

A....doodle, I guess.....on a watercolor background.

 
General consensus has it that my doodle bears a striking resemblance to oyster shells....
hence the post title.
:P

I'm afraid I can see the similarities...

painting, painting...

 We had a half day of school yesterday, so I used my extra time to paint!
:)

Here's one of the things I did:


I have a few more pictures, which I will post SOON!
:P

p.s. Has anyone else read Lorna Doone?
I'm reading it right now, and enjoying it SO much!

april

I've been playing around with digital drawing...
 here's a desktop background for April that I came up with!


I drew one pattern, and then copied and pasted until I was satisfied.
:)

Feel free to set it as your background!

I'm not sure how crisp and clear it will be, though...
I haven't found how to save it so that it will be high resolution. 
:S

lorikeet

Well, it's been a while. 
I'm sorry for the long absence.
:S
Here's a lorikeet I painted from one of Elise's photos.

I was pleased with how it turned out! 
 

:) 

I hope to post again soon-ish...
