This is a close-up to show some of the start of the under-painting and some of the corner beveling, and the space the angel feathers are placed on top of.
As is always the case with me...I start painting in the middle of actual construction...because if I don't get some color on the piece, I loose interest really fast. XD
I thought I would kick off the new year by starting in on one of the chunks of black walnut that came my way during the summer. This is as far as I will take it for now. The next step is to re-coat it with the same wax coating it had six months ago, then wait another six months before finishing the turning.
From Adrian's pattern. I'm having a ball knitting this hat for Andy. It's a thank you gift for some artwork he gave me from 24seven.
From the free pattern here.
Library (South) Courtyard. Originally open in the summer and accessible via the Core Collection. Is now part of the Library Cafe.
Yes these are cut on my commute to and from work :)
The Swanky fabrics are so yummy! I've very happy I chose this jelly roll and waited for it to arrive before I started half hexing with y'all :)
However, I can only get 8 half hexes per jelly roll strip with a bit leftover that is *just* too small for another half hex or two :(
Engines for a space ship. Looks like something from an anime series.
I have absolutely no idea how to complete it.
Here is the pattern taped together and cut out for the basic outline. I then used masking tape to keep it in place as I drew the outline onto the foam.
(I've been organizing photos the past little bit and I realized I didn't finish explaining my keyblade construction process from a long time ago...so this is the rest of it now...)
After I went through all the trouble of trimming and ironing and heat-n-bonding and stitch-in-the-ditching...I decided I just don't like the darker green. XD I thought the color shift was nice, but it's not that noticeable, and it ends up looking like just store-bought bias tape. Before, it would make a good pillow case, or a tablecloth or something, but it just didn't match the rest of the costume. Even though the sari fabric is more delicate and very hard to work with in thin strips (and there was only that small area that was not overlapped with a more complicated design) I think it looks 100x more appropriate here, so I'm really glad I edited it now so I didn't regret it later. ( Wow...making costumes correctly the FIRST time is a wonderful new concept! :D )
still working out what I'm going to do with these, it's a start towards a fish themed group show in September.
I've been working on this pointy kitty for nearly a year now (I had a baby -- that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it), just had to decide how to sew the face. It's a birthday present and that birthday just came around again so it's finally getting some attention again. On Saturday I made a dress with the same fabric to go with. Now I just have to attach the head to the body and it'll be ready to wrap
The first few fish for the blanket. My ravelry page here.
I'm using this modification of the Knitter's magazine pattern.
(There's an error in the livejournal pattern -- I made a different correction, but the accepted one seems to be here.)
Here’s a little sneak peek at a special project I’ve had in mind for a while now. He’s almost finished, and should be ready by next weekend. I don’t want to say much more, so more details to come! :)
Mmmm, yum! She has purple shadow with dark blue near the eye on top and on the bottom, toward the inside. Carved lips with a yummy pale pink tone and darker pink center highlight. She'll be getting purple and shades of blue highlights; and probably a trim of some kind.
(Again, sporting Ebony's eyemech!)
They're big. He'll probably be 9 mos to a year old before he can wear them. (Then again, Amity says he has big feet...?)
My structures group is giving a case study on Crown Hall tomorrow. This is a test render from the 70's pimped out 3d model I'm using to make the slides.
I probably will later regret having solid sides on the bottom, but for now, I don't think it'll add that much in weight and it'll protect the protrusions at a vital joint...
