My entry for the PlushTeam's Call of Duty Plush Warfare challenge. This is the boob slingshot. While it is unlikely to do much damage (ow, a boob in my eye!) it is certain to be distracting.
The slingshot specs - repurposed wire is used for a sturdy armature, which is then wrapped in batting and finished off with soft, cuddly flannel that has been hand-stitched. Heavy duty waistband elastic is also encased in flannel, giving it an excellent sproing.
The boobs are fleece covered foam balls. I'd judge them to be somewhere between a B and C cup. There are 4 of them, or 2 pair. They are incredibly bouncy.
Am I this immature? Apparently.
Am I proud of myself? Not especially.
Did I have lots of awkward questions to answer from my kids, including requests to compare my own boobs to the fabricated ones? Big sigh.
Did I come dangerously close to having to explain the facts of life? Serves me right.
I think I might paint this challenge from the Watercolorist - Painting with Light group. Lately, my habit has been to do a quick value sketch whether it's on-site or from a photo (as in this case). Then, I paint from the sketch, except for color notes, etc. where I might look at the photo. Since I've already simplified in the sketch, it's easier a) to do the watercolor's pencil sketch, b) to keep my painting simple, and c) to keep values in mind.
And, you know what? I really love doing these sketches themselves. They can have a charm that doesn't usually emerge from the finished painting.
Here's the original photo reference:
Take a photograph of your present.

Tomorrow is a mystery,
Today is a gift,
That’s why it is called the present.”

Recently my daughter's sixth grade class went to the Challenger Learning Center in Bloomington, IL. The Challenger Learning Center's are a series of educational centers to teach young people about space and space travel. The centers were set up by the family survivors of the Challenger disaster in 1986.

The graph is the fabulous result of a healthy growing group Flickr’s 100 Best. During the years 2014-2015 the number of challenges has soared to over 60 per month. July 2015 was a record with 115 new challenges.
For the Daily Dog Challenge -- 6/6 "Exercise"
For Our Daily Challenge -- 6/6 "Climb, Climbing or Climber"
For 366: The 2016 Edition -- 158/366
This is part of the gear my husband uses to train his search and rescue dog, but tonight, Flattery thought she'd climb on and get a little exercise. It was all good until she got to the wobble table and then she said she'd humored me enough. The girl will do anything for a treat.

The Challenge Stradale is a limited production track-day car based on the 360 Modena, inspired by the 360 Modena Challenge racing car so the focus was primarily on improving its track lapping performance by concentrating on handling, braking and weight reduction characteristics.
The Challenge Stradale accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.0 seconds (three tenths faster than a Modena).
In total, the Challenge Stradale is up to 110 kg (243 lb) lighter than the standard Modena if all the lightweight options are specified such as deleted radio, lexan (plexiglass) door window and Alcantara fabric (instead of the leather option).
The engine and transmission weight was slimmed down 11 kg (24 lb) through the use of a smaller, lighter weight sports (yet still stainless steel) exhaust back box and valved exit pipes. The Challenge Stradale also got Brembo carbon ceramic brakes as standard (which later became standard fitment on the F430) which shaved 16 kg off the curb weight and improved handling by reducing unsprung weight and completely eliminating brake fade.

A few weeks ago I gave fellow Flickr member, Sumitra Sarkar, www.flickr.com/photos/68063993@N03/ a weekend challenge.
The challenge was "3". . . . .
When out walking the dog this evening, I tried it myself.
Took this while setting up my shot for the steel wool, and in post I changed the colors and what not. I really like it!
Fortunate enough to be an Air Force Firefighter at the stop-over base for shuttles when they used to come from Edwards. THis was the last stopover before Challengers Fateful Flight.

I used a texture to replace the sky, added 2 more textures and an overlay to add some light and airiness and glow. Removed texture from the little girl. Brightened her up a bit and painted over her skin as necessary. Softened her skin, saturated her dress and shoes a touch. Warmed it up, lightened it up. Brought out the highlights in her hair with the dodge tool. Used the burn tool to bring out the detail in her dress and certain shadowed areas. Sharpened and inserted the photo in a template designed by Denise George. I loved the template and quote and thought it suited this gorgeous little girl perfectly!
