post#36/365 HAND WITHIN A HAND

post #36/365 for my MAKE SOMETHING COOL EVERYDAY project

I don't know what my obsession over hands is really about. Maybe because I live in constant fear of losing mine? No hands= a life I would hate? Or maybe since they are so hard to draw I am trying to overcome some obstacle? Or maybe I'm just running out of original ideas??

hmm...

post #33 for my MAKE SOMETHING COOL EVERYDAY project

materials used:
cotton swabs

Okay I'm not a sculptor at all but I didn't have much trouble with making these tiny ears. haha maybe because I went into this project expecting these to be a complete failure. expect the worse and when it's not completely bad, be pleasantly surprised??

post #31 EVEN WHEN I'M DEAD I'LL WANT A CUPCAKE

post #31 for my MAKE SOMETHING COOL EVERYDAY project

Officially my FIRST stencil =D I thought I would decorate my sketchbook. I wanted to incorporate the elastic and I am quite pleased with the results. I am always very nervous about dealing with paint but since this wasn't a complete failure I feel like I may try more projects with paint.

also I am proud to say that I have completed one FULL month of posts for my MAKE SOMETHING COOL EVERYDAY. I'm not going to lie, it's been tough mainly because I'm just SO lazy! okay just 11 more months to go...

post #22 Cut here

post #22 for my MAKE SOMETHING COOL EVERYDAY project.

No, not suicidal, I just thought of a creepy way to display the "cut here" symbol. My friend Barb ( the holder of the scissors) was amazing and suggested holding scissors to my wrists for added effect.

Thank you Barb =)

artwork by Bill Zorn. Thank you!

You Can't Erase the End

post #15 for my MAKE SOMETHING COOL EVERYDAY

materials used:
eraser
paper
markers

I thought this up today and my original thought was to write "sinner" on the eraser and have the caption read "you can't erase yourself." I refrained from doing so as I feared that it would have reflected some christian message which is not a point that I wanted made at all.

So, here is the redesign. Basically it states that no matter your efforts, you can't erase your end. Be it by relationships, careers, self criticism, etc. It's written in ink and can't be changed.
