eh. this morning decided to bring in color. Ive laid in some indian red/venitian red glazes and some yellows. working on warms now then will go in with lighter colors. Im working mostly in glazes because i brought up so much in monochromes underneath. A little different.
(Do excuse the early morning blurriness: my camera needs more coffee, too, apparently. Tidbits on the counter remain from one fine, homecooked mole´ dinner -- mine seitan, his chicken -- as well.)
Experimenting with grisaille technique, a grey under-painting before
glazing with color. This is a landscape background for a foreground
that will be an abstract form. Christine likes this as is, though.
This is a picture of a chicken pot pie with the ingredients of the effects of farming farming instead of 1 cup of vegetables, 2 tablespoons of milk, etc. The background would be purple. and It will have a hashtag to tie into my "all natural" social media campaign. Tagline: life should not be a factory, bring PEACE to the farms.
Sea level + 15m. Cloud plugin is making some funky fog but the results should be good enough with a little photoshop. Hard to control the density in any meaningful way.
It's possible Joshua has already broken it. Also possible we don't know how to wire it up once I get the bulbs on it.
was going through inventory yesterday and realized that four owl pins just will not do! So I got on a roll and cut out 16 of them! here they are drying on my printer after tacking the pieces together with dots of Aleene's Fast Grab Tacky Glue - the best method I've found for my felt applique pieces.
This is Cozy, from a pattern from Fall '04's "Knitty." I'm using Rowan Summer Tweed for this. It's slightly less than 1/4 done in this shot. The color here is pretty true; it's sort of a turquoise (the color is called Exotic)
gaze estimation at 3 meters' distance from PTZ camera, using IR bright-pupil effect. gaze direction is estimated using (a) pose-from-ellipse and (b) comparison of 1st purkinje reflection and pupil center.
making some sort of half socks for my grandmother. She has thick bandages on her feet/ankles/shins but they don't cover her toes. Her socks and slippers don't fit over the bandaging so her toes get a bit cold sometimes. I thought I'd make something she can slip over the bandages as a belated Christmas present (something of a relief because she's probably the most difficult person to get gifts for on my list every year).
...ah, unpacking. But, hey, it so doesn't look like this anymore: www.flickr.com/photos/heathercorinna/129481215/
And yes, that is my dress in a pile on the floor, thank you very much. It was a fine, fine end to a Saturday last night here at Chez Ballard.
