This is what happens when the printer gives me a fresh, warm blank sheet of paper with my documents! I can't let the beautifully blank pieces of paper go to waste, now can I? ...The poor neglected tree pulp. Self Portrait It's been a few years since I've done a self portrait. The last one I attempted looked like I had a huge chin with a mind of it's own. I'm very pleased with this one and its obedient chin. Goddess I wanted to try something a little different, and this was the result. I am thinking about painting this one on canvas.

Knitting into 2013, psychic cops included

Knitting with my looms is relaxing and rewarding because I can finish projects at a decent pace (except for scarves. Scarves bore me to tears!). On the surface, the circular and rectangular pegged looms look dull and lifeless, promising only hats and scarves. One only needs so many hats...so I've learned to test, experiment, and meddle with crazy ideas; it's how the octopus and the infant from 2011 came about! My latest experiment involves making a miniature plush, stuffed doll with oodles of cute factor. What better way to test my idea out than to use my favorite Sci-Fi character, Alfred Bester! On a completely unrelated topic, I made myself a Star Trek badge. It's very "glam" with all the sparkles on it.

Happy New Year!

2012 was quite a creative year for me. I hope this year proves to be the same and much, much more! December was just as busy as November was since I had to put all my holiday present making on hold for NaNo (normally I pace myself throughout the entire two months). With that in mind, where's a look at what I did in December! I painted these pictures for my mother and sisters:     This was for another relative:   More relatives!   I did this for an online Secret Santa I joined: A sketch I did just for fun in celebration of the holidays. Do not put a Santa hat on Talia Winters!  And, finally, something for me! I finished this one on 31 December: As you can see, December was a busy month for me!
