[Deleted User] · August 2010

Led, I want the first one. Ship it to me when you're done, k?

I really want to show you all my cat painting because I am insanely proud of it, if not arrogantly so. But I don't have any pics here, only at home.

LedZeppelin · August 2010

Sunrise, I love that pic! I wish I was good at photography.

I like your mindset! haha.

Seshat - I actually was planning on selling it, but I've gotten attached to it (I always do). I've been considering painting another just like it, so that I can keep one.

ETA: Seshat, I will be waiting patiently to see your cat painting.

Thanks! Said friend in the photo really wants to model, so I just fool around taking photos of her. Wish I had a bunch of money lying around for a nice camera.

That's okay, I can get to those, I just don't like them as much. The cat one is an actual painting on the wall that I completely love. But thanks!

Although, I was trying to show the waterfall pic from my book page on FB. For some reason, I couldn't enlarge it to save, I keep getting that irritating red X in a box.

reddy123 · August 2010

CS- I always wondered if you were into photography because your cat siggy looks artistic to me (maybe that's just your cat's face? ha). I would love to see more of your photos!

here are some of H's photos:

Anysunrise · August 2010

Man, there's a crazy talented amount of ladies in here.

LedZeppelin · August 2010

CS - I love that hot air balloons picture!

and yes, anna wins. fresh bread always wins!

[Deleted User] · August 2010

Thanks, Katie! I should add that it was painted with acrylics on a huge slab of concrete my grandparents used to hold up a fountain and other plants. They have a long walkway that looks like a bridge leading to the "waterfall."

1. Are you artistic? Somewhat

2. Is your FI/H/S.O. artistic? Not at all. He's all athletics

3. What kinds of art do you do? Quilting, needlework, jewelry, sewing

4. What kind of art does FI/H do? On second thought, he's actually a pretty good photographer

5. What kind of art have you always wanted to try? I wish I could draw.

6. Favorite Artists? ?

7. What inspires you artistically? What stifles you? I like to design my own quilt blocks and needlework pieces. The only thing that stifles me is not having time to work on projects. I would like to do custom work on Etsy (baby quilts, photo quilts, stuff like that).

8. Bonus: PIP and AW your creations. Argh - I don't have any pictures on this computer

Alright, AWing some more pictures since it's all I can get to right now. The second to last one was actual film I hand developed. Developing photos = fun.

Thanks Any. : )

I did that as an assignment in college and I remember thinking <em>how the hell am I going to do this?</em>

When I got home and started working on it I was so excited by the way it was turning out that I couldn't stop working on it. I finished it a few hours later and then felt sort of sad. Kind of like how you feel when you finish a great book and you don't want to be done with it yet.
