Messing with the blog

Please ignore the crappy design of my blog. I am playing with it to make is cool. So until then I am messing with it until I get done with my graphics. :)

Fail two...

Well I tried the name badges for Steve one more time with another technique...fail. Damn it! I have a rep to keep up here. Normally the first one doesn't work the usually the second one kicks in. Oh well, I have one more technique I can try to get a quick turn around name badge. Ok, actually two techniques, but one involves paint and I don't want to do that until the last possible minute if I can help it.

Plus I have a friend's mom who does primatives, look for a blog ~ Pineapple Primitives ~ and I have an urge to make some muslin pumpkins for around the house this year for the holidays. I am a freak. But check out her blog, her stuff is so awesome!

Scribin at 30th Anniversary - Concordia

Well I have had a request for scribin at the 30th Anniversary. So I said sure, yeah, we love scribin. So I will bring a few reference books and some paper and gouache. I might even show some pigment grinding as well depending on time and space.

If you want to have something specific shown I think right now I will have a little lesson on transparancy vs. opaque paint mixing and a mini lesson on doing white work painting as well, but if you want something else let me know and I will try to bring the info and stuff with me.

So I will be setting up a table for scribin in the basement, and I might try to set up a needle craft/textile table next to it so all the craftin people can hang close together and visit. :)

I will have paper, paint and pencils. But if you want to make a scroll, might want your own t-square (Office Depot on Central has them in expensive like $4) and as always bring your own brushes. I have a few, but they aren't the greatest, but you are welcome to them.

Full of fail

I am stitching a name plate for Steve's paintball vest, but it is taking too long and he needed it by this weekend. So I decided to make a temp for him with the sewing machine. It just failed everywhere. Which sucks. I only have one more night to work on it and it is a partial night to try again. I will see, but I am thinking it isn't going to work. He will just have to wait for the stitched out ones by hand. Oh well.

Topic to google today...

Fore-edge painting. Check out you tube and google and see what you get. It is freaking awesome!!!!!!

It has been a while

Wow, didn't realize how long it has been since I posted. I have been putting stuff over on LiveJournal, but I really think I need to separate my creative self from the rest of me so I can share it (cause LJ is locked and I think creativity should be shared).

So I am going down more scribal and book adventures now, started archery and even am a student to a very nice laurel in the SCA. More on that later.

To start check out what I have been up to at www.cuteevilbunny.com.

Till next time.
