We call this guy Mr. Boogiesuck……for obvious reasons. One day the seam ripped on this device…..(hopefully not while in operation) and it instantly became a funny puppet that tries to encourage children to blow their own nose so they don’t have to pay a visit to MEEEEESTER BOOGIESUCK.
When I was in highschool, it was cool to draw weird things. These drawings are from about that time. I don’t believe any of them have any kind of meaning whatsoever. Sometimes it was just fun to experiment with different types of pens on different types of surfaces (i.e. foamboard). Some of the colors have faded over time ( I did graduate nearly 16 years ago! gulp.)
I have been doing some major de-junking of closets and such this week and came across some ‘art-like’ items from the past. I threw these out, but took a photo keepsake first….just for the memories. The letter N was carved out of a nice block of styrofoam I couldn’t pass up. Then I painted it (to try and look like stone). It would’ve been better if I had enough to do all the letters in Natalia’s name.
The heart was just a hat box I used for a marble faux finish class I took in Manteca with my former ‘boss’ Suzanne Dawson. I don’t know why I saved this…I am not so big on heart-shaped things. I thought the finish turned out nice. It needed a glossy coat to be absolutely done.
I was rummaging through an old portfolio from the MJC days and came across these works. The hands were done in my basic drawing class….studying contour lines. Hands are reeeally hard to draw (in my opinion) and I thought these turned out looking a whole lot like they were supposed to……like MY hands.
This is a tree in my parent’s backyard. I drew this one time while living there (east coast Maryland). I wonder if they can spot which tree it is…..
No humbug. Just sheep. This was my contributin this year to the church christmas activity. They put on a nice little nativity play, and the sheep looked much better after they were cut out.
I have made MANY a poster for church in my time. I wish I had taken photos of each one, but was always too lazy I guess. But I did take a picture of this one for our most recent RS activity.
….some plywood lovely as a tree.
I was asked to paint this tree as a backdrop for a display at our church women’s symposium this weekend. I believe they are going to hinge these three sheets of plywood together to stand them up, and then have a table and some paintings of the Savior displayed. I hope this is what they wanted and that it all comes together.
This tree went through quite a few stages (some of them spooky looking) and at one point I really liked it before there were any leaves, but this was not what I was asked to paint. So Maybe I will paint myself another blue and red leafless tree for myself.
I have a friend who likes to tell stories to her son Calvin about a robot that lives in their “basement”. (They do not actually have a basement) The robot’s name is Alvin, and he only makes good choices. Calvin is probably stuck somewhere between being slightly skeptical of Alvin and the secret basement and really wanting to see this robot. If this was a children’s book, this is the image of a page in my mind.
I immortalized my husband in a model home.
