WIP – Lollipops, layer 1

by yiddle on Aug.29, 2010, under Art, WIP |

Fought off mosquitos this morning long enough to get layer 1 of Lollipops started.  I’m having fun with layering and playing with mimicking my digital painting process.  The finished piece will have 5 layers of glass, including the stained glass background.

Finally finished a painting last night!  No pics of that one yet (it’s still a surprise) but this is a digital sketch I did this afternoon for the next one.  I’ve been thinking of lollipops since I woke from a dream where all I could remember was the phrase “The big lollipops have to be on different teams”.  Excited to try out some new materials and techniques on this one, more details soon!

Anyone out there?  If not, I don’t blame you.  It’s been FOREVER since even I’ve been here.

What have I been doing?  Here’s the short list:

  • working on some oil paintings! some on glass, some on wood panel.  hope to have pics up sometime in the near future
  • working on some Java/Android development (just for fun, because I’m a geek)
  • still studying my Japanese, think I have the hiragana and katakana down now, and some kanji as well
  • gaming – MLB The Show, Lego Harry Potter, Mini Ninjas!
  • cooking – my new fav is lemon shrimp pasta.  om nomnom.
  • tv – catching up on the first five seasons of LOST
  • reading – Night Angel trilogy and Mistborn Trilogy
  • enjoying the summer with friends & family
  • work, work and dreaming about work :P

Went to She’s Geeky Twin Cities this weekend and had a great time meeting other awesome geek girls.  I promise to come back and update more frequently!

Upcycling – Lightbulb Terrariums

by yiddle on Mar.19, 2010, under DIY |

I saw this online and had to give it a try since I had burned out bulbs in the bathroom. One for me, one for mom, provided I don’t forget to pack it tomorrow. It was actually a pretty simple project. They look a little wild now but they’ll settle in a few days. I tried to find some tiny little gnomes or birds to go inside but no luck.

Here’s an Instructables link if you’re interested in trying it yourself.

A Diversion

by yiddle on Mar.03, 2010, under Art, Digital Painting, WIP |

I needed a diversion from the moon bunnies. I know I need to just sit down and finish that one, but it feels flat and icky and I don’t know exactly what it needs so I’ve been putting it off. Tonight I thought I should at least paint something, and this is one I’ve wanted to start for a while; my sister, doing what she does best, loving up one of her babies. I got a good start (see first image) but there’s a bunch of shape changes I still need to make before I start refining (see second image).
