I liked this enough to spotlight it here. My necklace didn't get into the polisher this weekend as we visited my MIL who lives two hours away. Le sigh!

| Today's creative endeavour - amateur printmaking! |
[Jan. 13th, 2008|02:00 pm] |
A few years ago my ACAD friends and I became enamored with printmaking. I've always loved rubber stamps, but these were pretty hard core ideas - using resist, chemicals and big rollers. Woo! I dabbled with some simple styrofoam printing, but of course styrofoam isn't very permanent as a template.
I bought a carving kit and a piece of linoleum from the bookstore, and acquired tubes of Speedball ink ($3 on the clearance shelf at Michaels, yay!), and some carving rubber. No craft before its time however, and yesterday I finally sat down and started into the carving rubber.

I started logging how long it takes me from start to finish to make a picture. It's so easy to feel like nothing gets accomplished :-) I started Piggy, who is owned by ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) fledchen on May 10 and finished him up today. That's not so bad.

I love weekends were stuff gets done! I'm surprised, because my art hovel has been compromised. After I stuck all my art junk in the entertainment center of doom (see a few posts back) my husband decided to donate to a charity. Fine, no problem, except the charity couldn't get a truck and decided not to take it. Now my father in law wants it, and while he was able to find a truck, it turns out that the truck wasn't big enough. Ah well...

| Little Red Chicken |
[Apr. 27th, 2007|10:11 pm] |
If the chicken looks familiar, it's part of a bird sketch dump I posted a long time ago. I recently found a lost sketchbook and I was really quite happy about that! Some of the drawings are not as bad as I thought, so there will be more 5x7" sized pictures coming down the pipe.

[Jan. 25th, 2007|06:07 pm] |
This one will definitely be getting a re-do down the road...in the interests of time, I finished it up (hurriedly) with Prisma markers. I haven't used watercolours in a long time!
When I saw this week's topic, I thought about a sketch I had done last year of "Super Charlie". I once had a budgie named Charlie (a girl budgie at that!) and I drew a comic book cover of her and the "Karate Keet" fighting the "Moluccan Maniac". Bird puns aside, I updated her costume and thought this was a good chance to do a character picture.
I'm not quite sure what I was thinking with the background and such though...

| Yet Another Red Parrot |

December 18, 2005 ::: Acrylic ::: 8x10"
I have been trying so hard to get a good picture of my parrot. The one on DeviantArt was scanned and looked too bright. The one on ArtVark was taken by my digicam, but even without a flash, there was some glare. Lastly, the ArtWanted one is probably the best colour-wise, but is a little blurry. I think I will take it to a repro shop to scan.
As always, I can make a variety of repros or gifts from this image. Email me to inquire! calzephyrATgmailDOT.com |

| Sketch dump - for the birds! |
[Oct. 27th, 2005|09:26 pm] |
My first sketch dump - the script is free from PHP Image Photo Gallery Script. I can see lots of uses for this script on my website. |
