I Igot back into another pencil project again a couple of days ago, and completed this fun piece quite speedily: 3 1/2 to 4 hours. I used an 8 1/2" x 3 1/2" piece of Bristol Smooth paper, using Prismacolor pencils. My new favorite burnishing color for colored pencil pieces is rose beige, it doesn't the drawing to light like the pure stark white pencil does.
I tried knitting a sock yesterday, in my favorite color, naturally: green. A nice sagey green to boot.
I totally scrapped it.
It was completely twisted past the point of redemption. I had to peel the whole mess off the one needle. But fortunately I did salvage it. I haven't taken a photo yet, but I turned it into a cute little baby hat with a tassle attached to the top of it. I will post a pic in my next post. Speaking of knitting, check out these hip runway knits. Apparently they're really in this year. Old Navy has come out with lots of knitted stuff too.
I loved doing this portrait. I've alway enjoyed doing the eyes best on a person or a dog, and I thought, hey, why don't I just do them by themselves then?
Halloween is drawing near. We have begun pulling out our Halloween supplies. I'm striving to make it the the most... decorated Halloween.
I want lots of webbing! I want it on the doors. The ceilings. The sink. Me! I love fake spider web to excess.
Not so fond of the real stuff, though...
