art: Penny & Sheldon

I’m woefully behind updating this place.

Here’s another piece of fan art I did specifically for a header contest:

An exercise in craftiness: Tea Party favors

My sister held a tea at her home Saturday afternoon. I was supposed to help design the menus, but that sort of feel through. So, Friday afternoon, I was stuck with the idea to create some sort of party favors.

I started drawing Friday afternoon. I didn’t have a concrete idea, but knew that I wanted to make some sort of bookmark type things. After getting off work that night, I went to Dress Barn, because I still needed a dress for the occasion. Then I walked over to Michael’s, which is conveniently located in the same shopping center, to see what sort of supplies was available and hopefully get more inspiration. I bought three rolls of ribbon and a special hole puncher.

After I got home, I finished the drawings and scanned the art. Then I woke up early (for me) Saturday morning and printed out and assembled them. My mother helped with lacing the ribbon through them.

The favors were a hit, and I’m seriously considering making a variation of them available for sale at my Esty store.

I honestly haven’t “constructed” anything this involved since I got out of college, and it really felt good to do something like this.

Note: The first bookmark on the left was inspired by recent photos I had seen of Mae, aka Natural Chica.

Photo 365 Project

I decided to take another crack at the 365 Project. I did a form of it once in 2007. That time around it was all self portrait which…got really old fast. The new project just requires I take a photo everyday, and I find that the photos are much more interesting once I’m not the subject of every one.

weekend viewing part 1

I purchased a Netflix account over the weekend, and so far I’ve watched The Guild: Seasons 1 & 2 (TV), Dear Zachary (documentary), and Penelope (modern fairytale); and I have about 25 items in my DVD/instant queue.

The The Guild was hilarious, geeky, and quirky. Felicia Day is completely adorable and quirky and I fully see the appeal of her after watching the her internet series. She didn’t make as much of an impression on me in Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-long Blog, though I enjoyed the musical overall.

Dear Zachary was completely opposite, and I’m still recovering from the emotional blow left on my psyche by that movie. And I knew about heartwrenching subject matter going in, having remained unspoiled of the gut-punching twist near the end.

And then there is Penelope, which I finished viewing only a few minutes ago. The movie garnered mix removed, but overall the consensus is on the positive side. I, however, LOVED IT! For some reason, I have a ridiculous, seemingly unfounded affection for James McAvoy, even though I’ve only seen him in one other movie before this one. The practically flawless American accent he put on for his role in Penelope did nothing to dissuade my opinion.

Or it could just be his eyes and touseled dark hair:
