Strawberry Bows Revisited

Revisiting an old idea of bows with strawberries and flowers! I thought for sure I'd had posts up before besides this one that feature this idea, but I guess not. I just feel like I've made this style of bow a lot of times, although I think in reality I've maybe only done it 3 or 4 other times? That still sounds like a lot... The dark red and brown bow is certainly not something new or original, but I do love those colors together...

Doughnut Day

Apparently it's National Doughnut Day? Good thing I made some doughnuts last night. To get the summer rollin' I thought I could try crocheting something new. Doughnuts just seemed like a good idea, probably because I wanted to eat some.

Pokebows

I recently beat Trauma Center: Under the Knife. I bought Trauma Center: Second Opinion, the sequel, at a pretty decent price and thought to actually finish the first game before playing the second. However, instead of starting on Trauma Center, at the suggestion of my boyfriend, I picked up on playing Pokemon Pearl. It's my second play through, as I guess I was stuck or lost at what to do after not playing for a really long time when I restarted. Instead of restarting again since I hadn't played in a while, it was easy to pick up where I left off. I got my 8th badge and now I'm at the Pokemon League. I think the first time I got bored and annoyed with Victory Road and never got this far. This time though, I'm ready to beat the champion!

With Pokemon keeping me entertained, I wanted to finally make something for it. I'd had the idea in my head for a while, and while it's not a new thing I finally got around to doing it.

Monkey Blues

I've been holding onto this post since January. It's been in a nearly finished state since then and I finally finished it this past Friday. Quite pathetic really, since it's been practically finished, all I had to do was attach the face parts. I was just too lazy and unmotivated to actually stitch them on that I finally caved and glued it. Bah, it looks fine, right?!

krkr

Sorry for the lack of posts! I haven't really been crafting much. I always just want to take a nap after I get home from school, so I don't have much motivation to make things. Anyway, I drew this a few weeks back for someone, it's krkr from gdgd fairies. trying to use watercolors more often.

Arpakabow

If you're confused by the title, it's a mix of Arpakasso and Bow. Bow because of course I make bows, and Arpakasso because I also made an alpaca. It's under the jump...so you should click "read more."

Painting I and Watercolor I

Painting! Yeah! Sorry for another non-craft post. The next one for sure will have some crochet stuff in it. Especially since I just made something last night. Anyway...
Been working on still life stuff for my Painting I class. The one above is actually my third painting, but it looks the best so I made it the first picture. It's a complementary color painting, so I was only allowed to use the mixtures of two colors. I picked yellow [cad yellow medium] and purple [prism violet] because I didn't want to have to deal with blue and mixing up an orange. Mixed 7 steps of yellow to violet, and didn't use the pure color of either. They're both slightly dulled with a bit of the other color mixed in.
