Today

StarFighter — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 16:24:58 +0000

So today I’m going to clean house and work on cross stitch patterns. I’ve been really into cross stitching mini pieces. So if you know of where to get great free patterns then I would love to hear about them

Crafts – Amigurumi

StarFighter — Fri, 29 Apr 2011 13:53:36 +0000

So I’m not one who can Crochet, but I was at the book store and I saw a book about crocheting little robots and I fell in Love with it. It looks so cute, but I know with my record on crocheting it was going to be a pain to do, so I didn’t buy the book, but then I got to thinking, there had to be free patterns out there on the web, So I’ve been hunting those down all morning….I think I’m going to attempt this little easy Mouse crochet when I get a thing of yarn from the store…

Here are a few sites that look awesome for patterns if your interested

Cross Stitch Deer

So it being the new year, I’ve already started my crafting. I’ve been working on a cross stitch for most of the day as well as story ploting when I take a break. So it’s been a good day. I’m off to work on some more art so just a quick stop in and also I’ll be posting a pic of what I’m working on at the moment

What’s to come…

StarFighter — Wed, 29 Dec 2010 01:27:44 +0000

So I know that I’ve not been on here in a long time but that is all going to change. I think its time for a new change and if I start now then it’s going to keep going at it…No more, oh i have work or i’m tired…it’s not going to happen. So here is what is going to be new. I want to start working on cross stitching, more art, even photography. It’s time to be a new me and I can’t wait. I’m not going to be letting anything hold me back from doing what I love.

So keep an eye out for new things….

Update…Project 1 – #39

StarFighter — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 02:01:00 +0000

So I know I said I was going to be really on an Art kick but I’ve failed in doing that so far, so I’m going to get back into it tonight. So I’ve have Artemis done right now, but no other God or Goddess, so I’m going to be drawing two gods tonight. You can see the drawings of Artemis right now… http://fav.me/d2otezg

Project 1…#39

StarFighter — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 03:38:49 +0000

Okay so to start the Illustration Project I picked #39 to start with…so I’ve been working on sketching of the 3 female goddesses and the 3 male gods I will be drawing. Plus the few side projects for my mom and a friend’s project. So the three goddesses I chose are Artemis (Goddess of hunt), Athena (Goddess of Wisdom) and Nyx (Goddess of Night) and the gods are Apollo (God of Sun), Hermes (Messenger God/Bearer of Souls) and Ares (God of War)…those are the characters….now to work…:D

Illustrator Ideas…

StarFighter — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 23:23:51 +0000

Okay so the summer is coming up soon and you know it’s time to have some art fun. So I’ve made a list of 50 things to do for Illustration, for myself. I’m going to be working on each one through out the summer to build a portfolio and just to be creative…It’s just something I want to do for the summer, because I normally just doodle and so I’m doing this instead. Plus I’ll be keeping a sketchbook, doing a drawing a day for each day of the summer. Not sure how long this project is going to be, but I want it to last a long time, so feel back would be great! For really good pieces I’m going to be placing them into a brand new sketch book that I received from a friend for Christmas that I’ve been dieing to use…it’s always fun to have a brand new sketch book, you have no limit until you reach the end of the book…Also I want stickers…to place all over the sketch book, so I’m going to be looking for those over the summer and placing them on the blank sketch book….
