May 6


I'm rather proud of this one.  It took quite a while with all the veining.  The shading is not bad, but could still use a bit of work.

A daisy sketch based on an Internet photo I found.  It's not horrible, but the flower itself didn't come out quite right.

Bad sketch of a bottle of nail polish.  I should have darkened the cap on the bottle.

May 3


I took a mosaic workshops tonight.  I was really struggling with what to make when it came to it.  I came up with this and I keep going back and forth over whether I like it or not.  Most days I do, some days I wish I had not done a word.  Although, I did get credit from one of the mosaic artists there because apparently words are very difficult to do in mosaics.  I can attest to that.  I, however, thought that was just inexperience on my part.

More flowers.  This time near home.  I'm actually glad we've had a mild spring.  Usually what happens is the trees flowers, we get one big storm, and all the flowers trees get, well, deflowered.

Walking around near work I found these beauties.  There are so many flowers blooming right now.  I love taking pictures of them.

More progress.  The seams along where the sticks are are a little more prominent than I would like them to be.  I'll have to see what I can do about that without tightening everything on the needles.
