Hi everyone! I really want to say sorry for not being very active lately and that part of the reason is that I'm stuck in an idea rut. The good news is that I am now taking open suggestions for pieces you'd like to see me make! I'm totally open to anything I have the supplies and time for, so don't hesitate to suggest!
On my other computer (which has my Cintiq) I have discovered a program that is even more powerful than Photoshop: Painter 12. I got it for Christmas and didn't try it out until lately because I didn't realize its potential as a great program. I would definitely recommend Corel Painter 12 for anyone who feels like they need something a little more than Photoshop. ;)

Anyway, back on topic, here are some suggestions that I probably cannot manage (or at least at home):

• paper mache
• oil paints
• whittling (I've only made one thing that way: a bamboo flute that kind of played)
• quilting or sewing (I will have to teach myself first!)

• crocheting or knitting (ditto)

Notice there are a few things that I did not list: photography, clay work, watercolors, etc. These are things I can do (plus my regular digital/paper work). So feel free to suggest and I am really sorry if Weebly decides to eat my last few lines (when you type too much it deletes some usually). Bye and I look forward to reading your suggestions!

I'm in a Shakespeare club where we choose one of his plays and perform it. This time, we're doing The Tempest (I'm Sebastian and the Shipmaster!). In one of the scenes, three goddesses appear: Juno, Ceres, and Iris. To do those characters, we have to make puppets. And so, with the help of a professional puppeteer, we are assembling these puppets! We worked on them yesterday, but I was the only person able to make it to the meeting. Fortunately, that meant I had one puppet job all to myself! It's not done yet, but here's the process: Make a base out of clay, then cover it with plastic. After that, cover the base in a layer of paper maché. Put on one more layer and remove the clay base after time for drying. Then you paint it and it's done! I will try to send a picture of the finished product. For now, here's my work in progress!
