Day 59, sketchy sketchy

Soooo I was drawing this in my sketch book. Isn't it pretty? I might color it later on ;)

Suggestions?

HI soooo...I am kind of running out of new ideas for this. I would love to know if anyone wants to see a specific project done or some suggestions. I can do basically any craft so really as long as it's not something insane I have supplies
So suggest some things in comments yeahhhhhhh!

Day 58, Pipe cleaners

I made a decoration out of pipe cleaners hehe. It's cute and shiny!

Day 57, Yummies

I made delicious cupcakes and put chocolate frosting in flowers on some ...mmmm :)

Day 56 decorative painting

i painted a lily onto this wooden case...ooh lala less plain ;)

Day 55

Worked more on my silhouette project for art class. Not quite sure if I'm done yet :P

Day 54

I am working on some projects for school right now and had to study for an exam that will be tomorrow morning! And so I didn't do a project today, but here is a lovely picture I took last year in spring of this huge bee on these pretty flowers <3

Day 53 Cut outs!

So this is one of my projects for art class....I think I love how it turned out. Everyone elses were so busy and I dunno if mine is too plain. hum well anyway...

Excuse the paper scraps...my carpet isn't usually THAT dirty ;)

btw that's not a deformed hairy pig or boar...it's a mardi gras mask....

Day 52

I was in a Blake mood! :) One of the only poets I ever read and everytime I read them, I see a picture in my head. Of course, what I draw doesn't match that picture in my head because I just wanted to make a flower.
So here's a little drawing with "Land of Dreams" by William Blake.

Day 51...lmao a diagnosis?

I feel cynical...and like playing with ms paint :)

Day 50, I ran out of thread...

It's true. I ran out of black thread in the middle of this. I was adding on to an embroidery I did a while ago. Boo. And all I have left is some ugly colors. I'm in need of thread shopping!

Anyway here is what I was working on. Umm...and this little belt back I tacked on the rose bud embroidery I did before....I'm not sure if I like it. I have no idea where to put it haha.

Day 49, Fabric rose

So I found a tutorial for these online and can't find it again. I can't remember where I found them! Ah well anyway
These were difficult to photograph. The black one with the branch like designs on it came out awesome, the checkered one didn't :(

Day 48

I'm sorry I haven't been keeping up. So much homework! So much laziness. ...

Sorrryyyy I drew this for you!
I think I'm supposed to be at day 49 now...I will have that later :P

Day 47

I attempted to make a giant ribbon rose with this floppy towel headband thing. Uhh...it looks like a wad of fabric haha.

Day? Who knows??? 45 and 46

Oh dear I have been doing a horrible job keeping up, but my classes take up all my time!

So I for some reason decided to change the subject for my 100 drawings. (because that one was taking too long. So here is the first 50ish of my ancient symbol drawings.
And uhhhhh...it's do tomorrow so I have to go work on it some more :) Oh and there is a lotus on there so hahhh
Procrastination!

Day 43 und 44

AH I screwed up again :P

I have an excuse...the semester just started back up and I am having trouble balancing all the things I need to do.
Anyway I have a horrifying assignment in my drawing class. To draw 100 things. Drawing isn't one of my strongest skills and honestly this project is soooo horribly boring :/

But I have to get it done in a few days so it's all the art I can bring myself to work on lately so I'm showing it all to you.

It isn't my best work or anywhere near it :P It has to fit a theme, I chose things in the window sills around my house. hah And there are flowers and things related to flowers!

Day 41 and 42!

So I combined the projects for yesterday and today :P

First off, this large canvas bag to carry my drawing pads in for art class. And then I painted a flower on it. I forgot what it's called :/

I will definitely be adding more onto the bag, but this was all I was willing to do for today hehe :)

I will update you when it's looking sexier.

Uhoh spaghettio!

Sooo....for the next few months it's likely that on Tuesdays and Thursdays I will not be posting a project. I'm gone from 9:30 am until about 10:30 pm and by the time I get home I'm too tired to do anything :/

But I will be double posting on Wednesdays and Fridays because of this. I'll probably post date them to put them in the appropriate spot, but I'm going to try really hard to continue with my 365.

So I promise two projects tomorrow :)

Day 40, word flower

Okay, so I got about halfway through Broken Love by William Blake on this flower, but uh then I started going braindead and realized I have to get up early!

So here it is....Trying to read it will made you dizzy :P

Day 39, intructions

I just got home from a reallllly long day of classes (I'm exhausted from dance, but I guarentee buns of steel by the end of the semester ;) ). I'm sooo tired.
Um it was either today or yesterday or something like that, the theme from the 365 book is to make instructions or something like that. At least that's what I gathered from some other blogs I stalk :) Maybe I am just confused.

I will whip up some instructions for the coffee filter flower I made last night.

You'll need white coffee filters (6), water, food coloring, scissors, wire, some sort of tape. Of course you can use tissue paper, but I don't have any :P

First, prepare your dye baths. Get a bowl and fill it up about 2 inches with water, then add your choice of dye to your liking. I made the petals on mine a soft pink, so I made my water hot pink, and I made my center yellow so that dye bath was almost orange.
Get 5 of your coffee filters, fold them in half, then half them again, and one more fold in half. Then dip them about halfway into one of your dyes (this was the pink for me) so about two thirds are colored and fade back into the white.
Let them dry. I cheated and put them each in the microwave for 30 seconds.
Next get your last coffee filter and dip it all the way in the other dye bath. Let it dry.

When everything is dry, take the half colored coffee filters and cut each of them in half, then fold each of those in half and cut the upper edges (that border the round edge) in a sort of half curve. I know it'd be easier if I added pictures, but I'm too lazy :P Maybe later on.

Then wrinkle each of those up. With the one filter that is a different color, cut it so it is a 3 or 4 inch strip by 5ish... fold in half lenthwise (what my teachers used to call hotdog fold :P ) and on the open edges, not the fold, cut out fringe. Roll this up so all the fringe is bunched together and sort of a pompom and tape it only your wire. Then tape on each flower petal.

Day 38, coffee filters...

Ooh white coffee filters are a perfect substitute for tissue paper :)

I just dipped them halfway into a dye bath of food coloring and water and voila. So pretty. I want to make a whole bouquet of these!

Day 37, shells

I made a flower from some type of shell and...the thing in the middle is from the ocean as well, though I have no idea what it is.

Day 36, Cupcakes mmm

More baking! I made some delicious cupcakes. I only decorated one because I like to pop them back in the oven in the morning and make the tops all toasty again. mmm.
but here is a little decoration so I could fit flowers in somehow :P

Day 35. Hair something...

I had this amazing and beautiful idea for an updo with these ribbon flowers stuck into it, but of course I have no one's hair to play with right now and doing my own hair in an updo is the hardest thing ever for me. :/
So...kind of a flop but whatever. And some pony tail decorations to make up for the disaster :P

Day 34, flower inspired makeup

I didn't want to make an actual flower, but I used this one (I have no idea what it is) that I came across a picture of for inspiration. I need stronger pigmented makeup!

Day 33, Painting finished!

My gloriosa lily painting is finished. Done in watery acrylics and watercolors (uh there is no difference between them honestly, but whatever).
Enjoy!

Day 32, CAKE
