Still Life

Sketches for a still life!

wooooo

Sketch

a pigeon and a fly.

Skull

So this was a project for photography class. The project was to take a meaningful box or container, fill it with things that describe you and photograph it.  After many attempts with my grandfather’s  wooden paint box, the skull, a copy of The Stand, my scarf collection, a few elephants and several other objects to get a strong and descriptive image, this is what I came up with.

Moleskine

This is the back cover of my fist ever moleskine sketch book. I like collage.

Pimp My Camera

my excitement can not be contained.

My friend recently colored over the flash of an old digital camera and the photos she took were fantastic.

Read this article for other fun things that you can do with an old digital or disposable camera.

SO

inspired by my friend, I hauled out my own old digital camera and went to work.

First, I painted a thin layer of clear nail polish to the outsides of the lens. Then I taped some pink cellophane over the flash.

Pretty cool.

Well I couldn’t stop there. A camera that takes girly pink soft focus pictures MUST look like a camera that takes girly pink soft focus pictures.

SO

I sanded the whole thing down a bit, mixed up some pink acrylic, added some sparkles and then painted the whole thing over with “liquid plastic” (which I’m pretty sure is wood sealer, but it worked)

SO AWESOME!

Taken with PINK!

I turned my kitty PINK! 😀

Well. That was fun.

Grab your crappy cameras and get hacking!

Auchmar

This image was taken in a historic building called Auchmar. Which is a few blocks away from my house and is rumored to be haunted.   I will be posting a few of the other photos I took in the coming week.

Printmaking!

I really love print making.

These prints were made last year as Christmas gifts for my family.

I really love how the colorful one turned out. I added extra bits of paper and some rice glue before I ran it through the press. The technique of adding extra paper to a dry point print has a name, but I can’t remember it! Let me know if you do!   Later I added a tiny bit of water color to the print ( if you ever add water colors to a print never add too much or the ink will run and your image will be ruined. One of my friends learned that the hard way.) Also I really want to make a crazy earring like that one day.

A Slight Obsession

okay.

So I think I have a slight obsession…

what do you think?
