Update on Mack and Food for Thought

As titled, I have an update on my portrait of a fine rusty contraption. In every project, I always learn something. In this one, so far, I have found that there's an amazing quantity of purple in the color rust! I used Prismacolor colors, black grape, black cherry, Dahlia purple, and Parma Violet in creating this rust color.

Also, in my daily random searches, when I was looking at odd knittings, I happened to find a knitted Ferrari, a chicken wearing a sweater, and, well, something that is so past funny it's, uh, creepy. No, I'm sorry, I'm not kidding. Take a look. Laugh, and laugh again. And tell me what you think of the last one.

Mack Truck

Here's another project that I started today, a old, rusty Mack truck, courtesy of artistic pursuits on Flickr, a photo sharing site.

I layered ultramarine blue down where all the darks are going to be, and I'm now at the stage where I'm layering black on top of them.

An inspirational CD that I've been listening to is the new Bravery CD, called, The Sun and the Moon. The best tracks are I Believe, and The Ocean, in my opinion. Listen to it on Youtube to see what I mean.

update on "Feeling Green"

Here's an update on my frog. I've colored in his back, started working on his back leg, and a little more background. Here are the colors that I've been using overall.


And speaking of frogs-while you're wasting time reading my blog, why don't you check out this? It's an article about a new species of frog that scientists have found.

Oh, and recently someone got me the new Bourne Ultimatum Soundtrack. Buy it. That's all I have to say on the matter. Just buy it. :D

feeling fallish

Inspired by the link on this thread, I made my own humble version today, in decidedly fallish colors. I started off, however, with a simply ghastly neon pink sculpy, and made a series of beads and a pendant, baked them, painted with acrtlic paints in a slap dash fashion, slipped it on coarse black button thread, and believe it or not, hung it from a tree to spray it with Prismacolor final fixative to give it a nice shiny look.I had visions of fairies stealing it while I left it tied to a tree branch for a few minutes for the fixative to dry. I didn't get a clasp for it, so I can't wear it, but hey, I like it, it has it's
cozy charm to it.

Art, or not? I call it art. I'd call it wearable art, but uh, can't seem to get it over my head. :D

Feeling Green

Feeling Green WIP (a fancy way of saying work-in-progress)
This is for all you green ones out there. Enjoy the evening, folks.
