    more doodles, aluminum can art, & hula hooping

    Good evening and happy Monday !!

    I had a full week last week

    ᗰOᑎᗪᗩY

    I decorated a little trinket shelf for my wall <3 

    TᑌEᔕᗪᗩY & ᗯEᗪᑎEᔕᗪᗩY

    I caught up on some reading: I’ve finished up Lord of the Flies and Clockwork Orange and have now started on Make room! Make room! By Harry Harrison and Tender is the flesh by Agustina Bazterrica.


    I also did some drawing in the sketchbook

    ((last one is old, i just felt like re-visiting))

    I finished painting the chicken purse strap!

    I spray painted grey stripes onto my hoodie’s hood. I think I’d like black better, though, so I’ll be spraying it again when I get the chance.

    I also added more faces to the yellow maxi dress. I’ll probably replicate the design on the back and add another pattern along the left side to better conceal the stain D: 

    VVVVV the song that carried me into the weekend / great hula hooping track

    I inherited more cans from Miriah today!! (thank you again <3) My cup runneth over with cute materials so I’ll be using them every chance I get. 

    I tried something new to me, and used a few cans to put together a framed piece using a stained glass pattern. This is the first time I’ve done this and I think I like the outcome? I feel like it could be a little more structured in its’ appearance, though. I was thinking of adding a black outline to the individual shapes with a marker. I also considered trimming the pieces so that they’re not touching- so then it looks as if it has a white outline. I think that may look more cohesive. I might try the latter

    I also cut up a few cute monster cans in what I hope turns out to be a cute set of earrings and maybe a little charm bracelet? I love the designs on these in particular. I have some ideas, but will definitely be experimenting with materials ^^ I made a few little butterflies, too - those will need some work aswell but I think they’re cute so far ♡ ♡ ♡

    Had so much fun hula hooping at the park. It was hot and beautiful out and I’m getting so much better at walking back and forth while I hoop. I can also hoop while I stand on one leg. It occurred to me that in my first blog post I reference that ability as a goal of mine! Consider it achieved :,O

    When I got home I made this small panda stamp. I still have to carve its’ outline but I think it turned out so cute. I’ll definitely be adding it to my tote bag.


    ᴺᵉˣᵗ ʷᵉᵉᵏ: new project? More can art and better drawings

    I have a new project idea and I really want to start. It’s another paper mache piece, and while I do have 2 I’m currently working on. . . I’m probably still gonna start it (: will update with progress if I make any ⋆。°✩


    I'll keep cutting up cans too, and give some new ideas a try there.


    I want to do more drawing as well - ideally drawings i like better because i didn't love what i got from last week :|

    sketchbook, chicken purse, & rain slicker

    hiiiii again

    here's a little glimpse into last week. . .. . .... .. . . . .. .... .. . . .. . . . ....

    Monday & Tuesday 

    Hula hoop at the park

    lots of drawing in my sketchbook. No progress pictures so this is what I was left with at the end of the week.

    Wednesday


    Reorganize the fixture holding all my materials.

    Thursday

    Started brainstorming a new outline for an old project? A bit over a year ago I put together a small wire fixture/mobile to display some old fishing lures I have. I want to take it apart and re-build it in a different shape. Maybe a spiral? I think that’d look so cute when it spins. Probably won’t get around to it this week, but maybe next. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

     

    Friday & Saturday 

    I got a chance to personalize with some spray paint this past week. I added text to the back of my yellow rain slicker. I added some heads to a really long yellow dress. I was thinking of creating kind of a 3D effect by spraying another outline, near the initial, but just in another color. There's a sizeable stain on the side- maybe the heads will obscure it. I only did one side of each, but I plan to add more this upcoming week.

    While I had the textile spray paint out, I figured I’d change the color of the strap on my chicken purse. It was initially yellow, but I sprayed it brown instead. I think it goes with more of my clothes that way. I still have to go in with a paint brush and do some touchups, but otherwise she is done ⋆。°✩


    Sunday

    More drawing in the sketchbook and a long walk to Wholesome choice. 

    TᕼIᔕ ᗯEEK: Draw as much as possible / can art / spray paint projects

    I want to spend as much time as possible drawing in my sketchbook. these next few days


    I also want to make more can art, as I have an influx of cute cans in my possession. (generously given to me by my friend, Miriah.) (:


    If i have some time I'll do some more spray painting on last week's projects too <3
