A Newer Drawing

I haven't posted this one yet although i t was done a few weeks ago.




The original photo was taken at the Peck Farm Butterfly House in Geneva.

Easter Eggs Are Done!

I've just finished my annual Easter eggs. They're real eggs, which I've emptied, cleaned, painted, and glossed. This is the 4th year making them, I believe.




My annual Superman egg. It's different every year!



I've started making an animal/insect egg every year for myself. I've painted the pictures from photos I've taken.



I always do 2 Mario themed ones for special people, too.

Sew, Sew, Sew

Unfortunately I haven't had time to do any drawings or personal crafts. I've just finished sewing the last of 3 pioneer style dresses that I was hired to make for some 3rd grade daughters of some friends from school. Here they are!




Dress one!



Dress two!



And dress three!

Now that I am finished with those, I am going to be painting my annual Easter eggs. Stay tuned!

I'd just as soon kiss a Wookie.

Here's my Princess Leia from the Empire Strikes Back. I should probably get a shot of the back of her head, because her hair looks really neat. I will do that soon...



A brighter shot...

Eggcellent. Eeeggcellent.

It's almost that time of year! Easter is just on the horizon, so it's time for me to start thinking about what I'll paint this year. These are the ones I made last year...




This is the same Macaw from my chalk drawings. I really like the glossy look and the red against the black.



Super-egg!




A Mario inspired egg.

Snooooooopy

I've recently finished another chalk drawing that most people haven't seen yet.




This is Snoopy! He belongs to my aunt and uncle. He's a very sweet dog and he doesn't demand attention like most dogs. He just innocently waits for you to notice him and then delights in the affection that follows.

Well, Well, Geez, Lois.

I just finished making a little Superman this week by crocheting and sewing. I got the inspiration from Geek Central Station's craft. She also has a great pattern for the basic body, which I changed here and there to fit my needs (most of the time on purpose, sometimes not!). I personally love starting with the Magic Circle technique, because I love the round little flat spot. That sounds nerdy, but so is Clark Kent, so it all works out neatly.



I can just see him sheepishly pushing up his glasses and stuttering to Lois. "Well, well, geez, Lois."





Wow, SUPERMAN? I had no idea.





I just love his cape.
