Color Theory Practice

I kinda failed with this one. I didn't have the black or white paint needed for the project in the book. Fabric was needed too. I skipped that as well.

Area 1: Fabric piece
Area 2: Match Hue
Area 3: Complements
Area 4: Opposite Values
Area 5: Opposite Intennsities
Area 6: Original Hues

Mine are: Hues, Complement, Opposite Intensities....kinda.

As an added Bonus:

My "I have extra paint lets play" painting. My dad says he likes it, which I find really funny, he doesn't like modern type art. I told him so and said it was just because I am his kid. He said that was a part of it.

Albino Bunny

Albino Bunny, I think I liked you better as a head on my bookshelf.

As to everything else....it will get done eventually.

My armpits hurt.....and I think I've smashed my chin on something....no I'm not sure.

Reading Day

Reading is bad for productivity. I did manage to work on more projects then normal but I didn't manage to finish any of them. An entertaining story got in the way. I planned to show another color theory painting but I had trouble with it. Not only did I not find the supplies I needed the brush I did find contaminated my paint a tiny bit. I'll continue to work on it tonight.

This little guy has been sitting around for a wile. He isn't finished and never will be. I just slapped some eyes on him and called it good. He is about 5" tall.

I don't like the way this one turned out even though his face is pretty cute. I already have a redesign in mind but for now I'm to tired to work on anything else. It was a long day but my classes are payed for and so are my books.

Confound You Felt!

I think I've found a new love. I'm still not all the way happy with the way it looks but the blanket stitch was so much fun to do and felt is a very easy material to work with. Two sheets goes a long way, more so then I thought it would. I didn't have any hard fast ideas to do and let the project work itself out. A Kangaroo was the result. He stands at 6 and a half inches and is 4 and a half inches long, taking 5-6 hours total.

I love that he perfectly balances on the tippy top of its toes and tail. I really wasn't sure he was going to stand at all.

Tomorrow I have to go to the school to pick up my books and pay for classes. Wish me luck, last time was not fun. At least I have a nearly completed project to come home too.

Felt, I dislike you.

I have a love hate relationship with felt. I'm beginning to think I am just prejudiced against it. I don't like felt plushies most of the time. They look cheap to me, to rough looking to want to keep them in my hand and feel their texture.

On the other side of things I know felt has a great value. Perhaps even more value then anything else for those that are beginning. The price is perfect for those of a younger age, most sheets come prices around a quarter or two. The material maintains its shape, no wrinkles and less possibility to miscut something. Colors come in a very nice range.

I recently, within a day or two, learned the blanket stitch. I wanted a cheap way to practice and felt wouldn't leave my mind. Flight of the Yoricks, which Zantarni users would know about, completed its quest today giving me a poor excuse to celebrate with felt. What a great treat, something I don't like, spending more money, and adding more projects to my already flooded mind.

With $7 I was able to get 12 sheets and the crochet thread I would be using to sew.

 Is it just me or are my pictures getting worse? -pouts- I try.
