Colored Pencils

I now have an obsession with colored pencils. At first I loved sketching and painting but now I just tried using colored pencils and its amazinnggg. I didn't think you could do so much with colored pencils. You can blend and erase and make gorgeous pieces of artwork. Its like using regular pencils but ten times better because you get all the bright, vibrate colors.

Earring Organizer

So I don't know about you but hate losing my earrings! I lose my earrings all the time and its not like I lose both but I lose one! .... there's not much I can do with just one earring. I did find this craft though on how to make your own organizer. Its pretty easy to make actually and really cute. You pretty much use a frame and foam! How cool is that?

Photoshop

Soooo I have my ups and downs with photoshop. I do think its awesome but it just depends how you use it. For example, I like the fact that I can get rid of my blemishes on my face and I can do cool affects with different colors and textures. What I don't like is when the media takes pictures of celebrities and makes them skinnier, eyes bigger, skin radiant, neck longer, hair longer, legs longer, everything! They completely change the celebrity and thats one of the reasons why girls are so self consious...they feel like they have to look just as good as the people in the magazines and well you tend to realize you can't do that. But there's nothing I can do about that, right? I mean photoshop is fun, just don't use it to show the impossible.

Surrealism

So for my descriptive drawing class we have to draw something crazy and weird. I have to turn myself into a surrealist...Dali or Vladimir Kush. This has never been my style, I have always loved the style but I'm just not that creative. I need ideas, I honestly can't think of anything to draw that is as cool as Dali or Kush's work. Like a lion with a giraffe's neck! Then I thought of something really cool and it happened that Dali already did that, I was thinking a lion with LONG legs like a giraffe but Dali did that with the elephants...booooooo. Well help would be much appreciated..
