The plan of this week was to check out how to make shrinks dinks from #6 plastic. The shrinking worked fine but the sharpie didn’t stay (possibly because I used Goo gone to get rid of a sticker) so more on that at a later date. Before I could test the procedure, I needed a […]
Read more "Squirreled Again (and again, and again)!"I have found the most awesome new web site. It’s called Drawing Board, and it’s available on New Hive, but you don’t have to sign up for New Hive in order to use it. It is a sketch program that has some really interesting tools. Lines make connections with each other, giving really interesting results. […]
Read more "Spur to Creativity"Sometimes an idea comes into your head so strongly that you can’t rest until you’ve followed it through. Sometimes the results are amazing, and sometimes not so much, but you can’t stop in the middle. That happened to me this week. I have been working my tail off recently. I am currently teaching 4 classes […]
Read more "Diorama"Ok, ok, I know it’s been almost 2 months since my last post. Summer traveling and back to school has kept me too busy to post. Not too busy to craft, as you will see. A girl has to have her priorities. 🙂 (don’t ask about my poor garden. It looks like a weed jungle!) […]
Read more "Long time no post"I had a really neat idea while watching the plumber dig up my flower bed a few weeks ago. Last year’s chive flowers had dried in their beds to a beautiful, skeletal shape. I gathered them together into a beautiful bundle that was more difficult to photograph than I expected. It’s the sort of thing […]
Read more "Photo Practice"So I’ve been working with the render engine in Carrara, one of the programs I use for 3D design. This is just a little clip that I rendered to test the caustics rendering. (That’s the way the light is shining through the glass).
Read more "Self Promotion"In doing the research for yesterday’s post. I ran across a really awesome tutorial at Layers Magazine (a Photoshop magazine). I just had to try it. It’s pretty easy for someone with basic Photoshop (not Elements) knowledge. I’m having a lot of fun with it. For the one below, I had my daughter choose 5 […]
Read more "This squirrel is running fast!"My son and I came down with a doozy of a cold on Tuesday, so yesterday was pretty much a wash, and not much is happening today as I recover and try to catch up on house work. Still, crafting is never completely still. I’ve cast on yarn (store bought I’m ashamed to say) for […]
Read more "Slow Week"So, I’m not kidding about the name of my blog. When it comes to crafting, I have the attention span of a dog when a squirrel runs by. I was thinking about that the other day as my basket making obsession had been replaced with a fever to make lamp shades. More about that later. […]
