Another adventure!

     So between all of my school work I've decided to help my mom with a project she and a few other wonderful ladies have been doing the last few years. Starting in late September they start making these cute little bags (My mom's planning on making a whopping 200 of these!) which are then filled with small gifts and closer to Christmas are given to children who have to spend the holidays in the hospital.

This is only half of the cards, the other sheet needs to be cut up yet. Might make little bookmarks with the scraps.

 

     I'm making 132 (potentially more if there's a need and if I don't go crazy) art cards. Starting from a huge sheet of poster board. Each sheet gives me about 65- 66 cards. It's a pain to draw straight, parallel lines... Guess what I'm not good at! But I' hope they turn out well in the end.

 

     Here are the five I've done so far using colored pencils. Since these are the most portable medium this will be common. Going to see if I can amp up the colors though... It may just be the light but they look rather pale on this end. I've got another month to do this so there will be time to figure everything out.

     My goal is to do between 5 and 15 a day depending on my schedule. I'll post group pictures here and on my Deviantart, maybe individual photos of the nicer ones here (My printer still isn't working! So still no scans)

     And here is the finished painting I mentioned a post of two ago. I added some gold pencil work to it this morning and it make a huge difference. It showed up really nicely on the for once not "waxy" black background, and I'm envisioning other pieces with this effect. :D It still needs some work-- what doesn't?-- but It'll be Finished, completely and totally soon I hope.
     I'm still working on that dratted Magician. Think it's telling me to master my use of time. And patience and not freak out about everything.
     Time for cookies here I think... It's going to be a long week.
     Peace out lovelies.
