arts stuff

im not really tired, its 5 am and i should be asleep but i cant so im gonna post an entry. i kinda feel like writing anyways. these past 2 weeks ive gotten really gross and sick so going to class and doing my homework has been sort of a challenge i feel really awful about it because now i have all this homework to get done by the end of the week (this is my own personal deadline).. heres my photo manipulation assignment i had for this past week.

i found the panther on flickr. it took a lot of dodging, burning and smudging to make the panther look like its behind the glass. even so i still dont think it looks the way i wanted it to, but my teacher thought it was great so thats all that matters. i had to take about 50 pictures of that jar because the lighting was all wrong but i finally got the winning picture. that jar was fun to make i will admit. i went to the store and bought that sand you use for sand art so i have about 9 other different colors and ive got a huge rock collection and plenty of jars. so im definitely going to make more and put my tiny miniatures i collect from 25cent machines inside.
i just bought some resin molds and im gonna start messing around with resin casting. i just see all these tiny miniatures and i think to myself "wow $10 is a lot for something so tiny and i wish i can make it myself".. heres the two cameo settings i bought this morning;


i found kawaiisupply.com and it has everything you need to get started. although most of the supplies are in japanese i dont think you'll have problems finding instructions on google.... unless you're an idiot.
