New Technique

 

The main idea of this technique is to take a drawing, mount it to a board, than layer acrylic medium and ink to build up color. There is some paint thrown in but it didn't work all that well. Oils are definitely needed.

WIP: Rattata 4

It's been a wile, sorry about that. I needed the time off. I'm a bit behind on my school work, so much reading, and I had one really bad day where I just came home, curled up with a teddy bear, and cried. Friday I went to the doctor for my test results. Turns out I had a good reason for my head hurting so much and being tired all the time. I'm pretty badly in need of Vitamin D. The healthy range is 50, mine came back as 19. I now have a lovely little prescription to try and get the numbers up. One thing I am glad for is my lit homework. I can turn the journal questions into a blog post on my reading blog. If I can finish the reading that is. I got to admit I rarely did for my other lit classes, or any other for that matter. I still have 2 hours, come on you can read 40 pages!

Sadly I didn't get too much more of this done but I am still working on it. He is starting to creep me out.

Not much progress. I spend most of the day reading for college and watching Documentaries. I'm not sure how I feel about this one. I think it will look pretty good, yet awkward, when it is done. I wasn't really sure what to do with Rattata seeing as it's mouth was pretty extreme but I'll just have to live with it.

Special thanks to everyone who has been watching. This month had doubled my normal amount of views and the month isn't even over yet.

I start school tomorrow. I am excited and without books. Opps oh well.

Curly Wurly Scarf

This is a pretty simple pattern and easy to find too. So easy in fact there are a ton of version and it was hard to pick one to go with. I'm, for the most part, fallowing the Lion Brand pattern for this scarf.

For the most part the poor thing looks awful. I can't buy any more yarn right now and very little of what I have is good for clothing or has much left. There is still plenty for stuffed animals though. I'm sure it will look good with a nice colored shirt.

Bunny

This is my first attempt at a bunny pattern. It has been scrapped and redone but for now enjoy version one. I'm happy to say there will be no more Pound of Love Pink yarn for now. I can't promise that I won't buy more Pound of Love, it is just a great size and goes on forever, plus soft colors are lovely.

Back, With Fish!

Class has started again. I need to get up at 6am to make it to class and my first day did not go well. A great standing tradition, I feel lucky I kinda made it to class on time. I left early but I had to turn around realizing the stickynote with my class room number on it did not make it with me. In class we had an activity, basically we judged humans to decide if they should live or not in given world ending situations. The point of it being to see how much we can analyze based on minimum scraps of information. Apparently I got into this and I believe that may have been the most I've talked in a class and having it be on topic. The teacher was ecstatic as well, apparently we are a very good class and she isn't above saying so.

Wile I was taking my break, which I very much enjoyed, I've worked on two new patterns as well as my moose. You will see what came from those patterns throughout this week. Wile all this has been going on I've drowned myself in youtube videos, mostly those of the Vlogbrothers. I've also done a bit of drawing. I hope to upload those soon but I make no promises because I know I'm going to be doing a million small things that will more then likely push that from my mind. I also hope these small things are a large number of applications.

The first pattern is a fish. I don't know how long it took me to make the pattern but I think I can make one in around 4 hours. Made out of Pound of Love Pink yarn.

Red Cat

-catches up on sleep-

Red really is the worst yarn to take pictures of.

Yellow Cat

Rather then finish one in a single night I ended up watching a movie with my dad. We watched "My Name is Nobody." Very good movie considering it wouldn't normally be anything I even thought about watching.

Yarn: Simply Soft

I'm desperately tired tonight so only a small glimpse tonight.

Nostrils

Apparently the fact that I was crocheting nostrils for my newest plushie was extremely entertaining for quite a few people so today's post will include them in pictures.

Granny Square WIP

Just a little post to remind me of all the little projects I still have going on.

WIP-Bird

I've been trying to study for my Human Growth and Development test on Monday. I'm having quite a bit of trouble with the names, something I've always had trouble with, and it is taking me away from making things. It is necessary but I don't have a lot for this post.

New Scarf

This scarf is less time consuming but more problematic then the last. I seem to always end up with an inconsistent number of stitches. I do enjoy what I have so far, none the less, it is just so soft. This photo is way brighter then the actual scarf, not that it is dull.

The plushie I had started but run out of stuffing for has been resumed, I did not get far however.
