Stained Glass Window.

Took a staine glass class for fun before I graduated.

The Initial Sketch with color

The sketch transfered to the contact paper and cut out. 

After some revisions and cutting out all the pieces twice, it fit  properly. 

After all the pieces were foiled and cleaned, soldering began.

Self portrait progression ....

I've decided to tackle a self portrait but instead of the usual I thought it be interesting to do one entitled "Dark Side" 

I have always disliked self portraits because they reveal a lot more about you then you are usually willing to reveal in the first place. This time I figured why not put all the "ugly" on the table and see what comes of it. I'm using this as a learning experience.

Halloween ! (yeah I know its the Christmas Season)

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.... I am finally operating from my own computer again. Hints my absents from this here blog. Now that i'm all set up I'll be about to stay up to date on posting my latest "experiments" and creations. 

So what I did miss was Halloween. This year I made my own wonder woman  costume out of things I had laying around in my bedroom and a few craft supplies. I was able to wear this costume twice and it held up well at both a party & trick or treating. 

The Beginning.

The Painting Struggle... I Need Your Help!

After waiting most the summer to re reunited with my paint brushes and paints I FINALLY got to make a few strokes. Now I sit at the awkward point of do I keep adding paint to this piece? OR Left it alone. Being that I'm no longer in school I can't just drag them to class and ask a room of 15 of my peers what they think. SOOOOO like many struggling artist I turn to the internet for opinions, critique, & criticism. 

Tell me what you think.....

Add thicker paint or leave it flat?

Refine the upper body then leave it along or add more?

Except for the unfinished elephant, Should I add a layer on each of those canvases or  only some or none ?

Summertime Fine.

Just some things that I experimented with this summer. I wanted to explore a few things I never had time to try while I was in school and expand on other ideas I had started. 

Staring some heels, A 3D wall hanging in progress, Plastic Bag Experiments, Wine Glass Painting 

Used duct tape to make tiger trips for my Bestie's horn. 

Shirt Dress I made out of my Daddys old dress shirt. Heels in progress. 

Clutch made of old coin wrappers. Junk Clutch 

Took the fake hair and made a dress. Yea its weird, but a good experiment. 

More ELEPHANTS !

Bunch of elephants and elephant related things I made in one of my last collegiate art classes. It was a human figure class but I managed to find a way around that.
