Andrea Really: December 2011
http://andreally.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 24, 2011. Get your tootsies over here. For some free templates on making your own Star Wars snowflakes! Tuesday, December 20, 2011. Cheese intended) It is seriously an amazing song. Where was this when I was fourteen years old and in my piano playing prime? I would have probably reconsidered my focus if I'd had this stuff to practice. It's beautiful! Monday, December 5, 2011. This is an incredible kinetic sculpture of San Francisco, all made out of toothpicks! Thursday, December 1, 2011.

Academe: More Screening
http://acade-me.blogspot.com/2012/01/more-screening.html
Check it, check it! I made a cool custom Drums T for my awesome BFF for Christmas (and printed one for meself a'course). Actually, I made him two and he loved them both. I think I may print a few more to sell on Etsy someday. I'm so glad they worked. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I am a Graphic Designer/Artist married to my best friend with three great kids. I have far too many interests so this is my place to keep track and collect ideas, inspiration and projects, and some of my own as well.

Academe: 06/12
http://acade-me.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Wow, friends. I have been so lacking on updates here. Sorry. But you know what, there are so many other cooler places now that share ideas that it won't hurt my feelings if I am typing now to crickets. I will continue to post random art things here that I do, just to journal my work, but no hard feelings if you stray to greener pastures. I so understand. And as a peace offering, I at least have one little ditty to share. It's not novel but it's something. Hope you're having a fun summer! Buy Some On Etsy.

Academe: Inspired
http://acade-me.blogspot.com/2011/10/inspired.html
I was in Laguna a couple of weeks ago with some friends and among our shopping I snapped a few things I wanted to remember. This was the floor in a thrift store on PCH. The ENTIRE floor was covered in old magazine images. I know it's not novel, but it befitted the setting. In another thrift shop, I looked up and saw some string art! Sure, but after playing with this, I didn't want to forget the technique here of sectioned color, intentional shapes and the outlined lettering. Hm.gets me thinking.

Academe: 12/11
http://acade-me.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
The GND show was a great success. Whew! And always more work than I anticipate. I had an ambitious list of new creative endeavors to accomplish before the date which stressed me out a bit. But this is what it is for, to push me over those hurdles that I am intimidated to try (or too lazy to carry out). This time I was determined to silkscreen. Enough of the daisy dreams! I also wanted to play with enamel paint so I painted some jewelry and vintage keys. You can get the overview on the site here. I love d...

Academe: Freak Nature Out
http://acade-me.blogspot.com/2011/10/freak-nature-out.html
You all know I love Halloween and amid the busy month we have had, I am still trying to accomplish some projects. One of which was this, that I began last. Do you recall the vintage makeover I did with these bottle brush trees for Christmas? Well, it's no surpise I've wanted to twist this technique into Halloween, so here is how I 'hauntified' a batch. It was really easy and they look great all tucked around my bookcases. And wowza. You'll have your very own haunted forest of unnatural trees. It's $20 fo...

Academe: Becoming

It's a fuzzy pic but a little preview of something I'm working on. Cool, right? Also, these are some random shots I took one morning on a bike ride recently. Such beautiful clouds!

Academe: Currently
http://acade-me.blogspot.com/2011/11/currently.html
October was a really busy month. I haven't had much time to put toward projects but I did a little. I am using what time I have to put things together for the upcoming GND show at the end of this month. I'll post some of that work then. In the meantime, what I did. Finish those Chevron pillows I started in, oh, July? I am loving this deep magenta/orchid color right now so I put it on the back. Played with more geometric shapes. Look at my nonsense. I saw this watercolor. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
