These
are a couple canvas', which I did in my art class. We started from scratch and so I had to cut the wood, stretch the canvas, etc. I don't have
the money, equipment, or expertise to attempt canvas painting
at home. For more information about these two pictures, go HERE.
Here are four
pieces of clay art: a multicoloured dragon, a dragon head/mask,
a goodluck cat, and a baby dragon. Click HERE for more information. I made all of these in art
class since I do not have a kiln at home. I do have clay however and have made things from it and just not fired it. It seems to work well enough for my purposes. I did try firing an object at home in our wood stove. Needless to say, it exploded. The fragment that I found, however, was fired so maybe I'll try it again someday.
This
is a very much squished picture of some ceramic pieces. Click
on it to see a better picture. The dates of when I made these
creatures range from three or four years ago to last winter. I
haven't done much ceramic art lately.
The two pictures
on the left and right are pencil drawings made using a grid and
pictures of wolves and my sheep, respectively. The one in the
middle is a pastel drawing of a bobcat. I used a template picture
but not a grid as pastel cannot be erased easily. I have the two
pencil drawings hanging on my room wall and my parents took my
other one because I don't want it. The bobcat's nose is crooked
and that really bothers me.
Here
was part of my '99 Christmas present to my parents. It is a pencil
drawing of a badger. It looks lighter then it really is because
I didn't want to take it off the wall to photograph it and it
is right beside a window.
I did this many,
many years ago. I used a pattern on a folded piece of paper, cut
it out, and unfolded it. This isn't spectacular but when I made
it (grade 3?), I was just so proud of it because I figured it
was really good. I just had to include it for that reason.
This is a binder cover I made for my 4-H Market Lamb Record Book. It is material scraps, paint, and glue. The poor quality of the picture is due to the fact that the cover is covered in a protective layer of 'sran-wrap'. I wrote the names and years of my market lambs on the cover. I didn't want to waste a whole binder on each creature because market lambs are only 2 month projects.
This is another 4-H cover, I have many, and this one is for my old Ewe w/lambs Project. I used scrap jean material, and a pocket, with some paint and glue. The sheep figure on the pocket represents my ewe, Cora, and the two partially inside the pocket are her two lambs, Deja and Vu. Since a ewe is a two or three year project, Cora got her own binder.
This is a picture of me in a costume I made and took to 'Focus on 4-H', a 4-H show. I showed my dog, Cinnamon, in the costume class and won first. I was a rodeo person on horseback and Cinn was a cow that I had just roped. I made her costume and made my horse, who I later christined 'Gimp' because in the process of being transported in the car, his cardboard neck bent and his legs bent. If I let go of the 'reins', if you could call them such, his front legs would crumble and his neck would hang limply to the side. In effect, he looked dead. The stuffed dog was my prize. Amazingly, I manged to hold it, my horse, and my dog's leash while getting out of the ring. The stuffed dog almost weighs more then my real one and is acually bigger. All I used in making this costume was cardboard, paint, yarn, white material, bits of leather, and lots of glue, tape and staples. I used jean legs as fake legs and my real ones doubled as the horse's back ones. I got the idea off the TV but couldn't figure out how to put it in practice until I modified a bull riding costume, which I, of course, found on the internet.
