Anatomical Series

2011-03-10T18:50:00.000-08:00

Here is what I have been working on in my drawing class. The skeleton was drawn from an actual human skeleton. I thought it was neat that we had an opportunity to do it from a real human skeleton. Skeleton. Three skulls different views. I had a bit of a hard time starting this drawing. I started with the skull at the bottom right. It is a bit awkward. I was frustrated with the skull

Still Life Painting Number 1

2011-02-22T22:39:00.000-08:00

So first off I have to say I was not excited about this assignment at all. I was not into it. We had to do 3 diferent sketches and pick one that we thought worked best. The requirements were to include three to five objects and arrange them in an interesting way. I would have rather just focused on one object than do three. I was so negative about this painting but you know what as I invested

First Painting Update

2011-02-04T15:03:00.000-08:00

Ok I took pictures of my painting finished. These pictures are not very good pictures. The light was just not agreeing with me. I took them in various ways to try to fix this problem but I don't think that was achieved. The colors were not translated to the photographs very well. I will post them all.I also noticed that it got scuff marks or something in the transportation process. I will have to

First Painting Finished

2011-02-02T19:02:00.000-08:00

I finished my first painting for class this week I will get a posting up of it sometime this week as I am busy with school work. The assignment was to get a picture and use one set of complimentary colors. My colors were blue and orange. We were allowed to tint and share which means we were able to add white or black to our colors. At first I thought this was going to be difficult because I never

Fun Group Drawing Assignment

2011-01-20T19:58:00.001-08:00

My drawing teacher gave us a fun and interesting drawing assignment. It was to be completed in class. She went around and gave each one of us a square. We were to draw what was on the square to scale on a much bigger paper. Some things you couldn't even tell what they were and others you could. We ended up doing two different ones and here are the results. My drawing is the last one on the

Painting and Drawing Classes

2011-01-18T18:30:00.000-08:00

This semester I am taking a painting and a drawing class. I was intimidated at first about the painting class because I've done little of it. I went to class today and after sitting there listening to the syllabus I was put at ease. It did not seem as intimidating as I had previously thought. I like the first out of class assignment that we have for my drawing class. We have to do twenty

School

2011-01-17T13:37:00.001-08:00

Well school starts tomorrow for me. I can honestly say I am not looking forward to it this time. One month did not seem like enough of a break for me. The more I think about it the more intimidated I am by how many classes I am taking. I am taking 6 classes I am tired of school and just want to take as much as possible so I finish faster. This means sacrificing a lot of my free time. It will be

Books and Stuff

2011-01-03T16:13:00.001-08:00

I finished a book I had started reading before fall semester started. I finished this the first week of my break. It's called Starting Out in the Evening it's by Brian Morton. I did not have much left and after a while of not having read it I thought I would not remember anything but it all came back to me. The ending disappointed me as do many endings in the books. I just never want some to end.

Like Minded Individuals

2010-12-17T19:30:00.000-08:00

Does anyone know of a way to find like minded individuals on Blogger? I seem to be having a bit of trouble with it. My method is time consuming and only I only found one blog that interests me. Maybe this is the only way to do it on blogger. I went to the help section and found nothing so now I am turning to you. What I have been doing is clicking the link that says next blog at the top of my

So winter break is officially here for me. I am looking for something to do while I am on vacation from school. I had this wonderful thought, blog again.(\-/)(='.'=) <---------A cute bunny for everyone.(")-(")o I'm hoping I write a few things on my blog.I always end up wanting to do too much at once that I never finish doing some things that I want to do. My plans so far for this winter break

2010-07-12T23:29:00.000-07:00

It's been months since I last posted anything new on here. I'm amazed that I even remembered my password. It's interesting to see that my last post was about me starting school and not having time to blog about anything. Well it's that time of year again August 16th is the day I go back to school. I loved my summer break, I really enjoyed not having to do anything. It feels like I haven't had

Hello everyone, I do hope you haven't completely forgotten about me. I just started school again (college) and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment. I want to get back into blogging so hopefully I will update with interesting things. I am taking a drawing class this semester so maybe I will show you things I work on in there. I will probably update once weekly or biweekly depending on if I

My Dream

2008-12-30T21:30:00.000-08:00

I thought I should share my dream with you guys. Last night I had a dream that I was having an argument with somebody. I don't remember who it was that I was having the argument with all I remember is that it was a woman. I was telling her how upset I was with our society who is a very wasteful society. People don't like to take a little time of their day to recycle their recyclables. I was

Sorry I've been a bit neglectful of my blog lately I've just been trying to take it easy. A few changes that have been happening in my life are that I've put myself through restrictive forced diet. Ok don't think I'm trying to hurt myself or anything like that. I'm just trying not to eat foods that hurt my stomach. Every single time I eat I have abdominal pain, not extreme but it's a nuisance.

I'm Back

2008-12-15T20:23:00.001-08:00

I'm finally back. It felt like an eternity away from my computer. I had a computer repairman come fix my computer. I told him what was wrong and he told me it could be one of two things either it was the power supply or I needed to get a new computer because it would be cheaper than repairing it. I prayed to God that it was just the power supply because I can't afford a new computer. On Friday I

Today I got home from house sitting my inlaws's house. I was relieved to get home because I just couldn't wait to come home. I got here at 7pm. Well I felt like getting on the computer and guess what. It doesn't turn on at all. I opened up the tower to see if dust was blocking anything but it wasn't. I still need to buy a can of compressed air because it's really dusty in there. It's probably

I just thought I'd share my experience with you. Yesterday I tried out the google tool where you can translate a page. Naturally I chose my own blog to translate. I translated it from English to Spanish. I give this tool an F because if someone tried it actually believing it's going to work there in for a big surprise. Well they may not know it. I don't recommend any of those sites that translate

She would say "otra ves(again)" as good as she could. We sang it about 10 times and after a couple of times of following the book we could sing it from memory. She

Laying in Bed

2008-11-28T17:30:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone it turns out that I didn't have time to take any pictures of the turkey.Instead I have chosen to post a picture of myself laying in bed. Lol it may be a little pg13 since you can see some curves but that's only because I took the picture myself. Don't stare at it too much because I don't have any make up on. I know some people will probably ask "if you don't want us to look at it then

I love pumpkin pie!First you have to make your dough or you can buy it. I make it myself. Then you roll it out and lay it in your pie pan. Then you make whatever decorative edge you want.You mix your dry ingredients together in a small bowl. In a larger bowl you beat the eggs. Then you add and stir in your pumpkin and dry ingredient. Then you add your evaporated milk. After you're done mixing

Welcome

2008-11-24T13:17:00.001-08:00

I just thought I would show you a new sign of mine. This is a welcome sign that can be put outside of your home or where ever you would like. I painted the wood with a sponge to get a nice effect. The word is wood burned and so are the two hearts and the flowers. I painted the flowers and the hearts.I like how the ribbon that I chose contrasts a lot yet it seems like it fits well with the sign.

Jeweled Butterfly

2008-11-24T12:57:00.000-08:00

Here's another thing I've been working on. I love how this turned out because it's so sparkly. It's beautiful. I painted the wood buttefly dark purple first, front and back. Then I painted the wood dowel lilac and finally the top a bright pink. I hand glued each jewel, man it's time consuming, with a hot glue gun. The bigger clear acrylic jewels are 6mm in size and the small colored jewels are

Love

2008-11-23T11:12:00.001-08:00

This is one of the signs that I have been working on. I finished this some days ago. I did this with the notion that everyone can use a little love in their lives. You don't necessarily have to be in love to need love in your life. Do you know what I mean? The ribbon is adjustable; it can be untied to be made smaller or bigger. I wood burned the word love and also the heart and arrow. If the

My daughter turned 2 yesterday. We had a small dinner for her, just her grandparents and two of her aunts and of course me and her daddy. We had a blast and she loves her presents. We gave her a Dora doll and she loves that. She also got a stuffed Winnie the Pooh that came with a blanket. She used the blanket last night and slept with the Dora doll.

I Voted

2008-11-04T11:28:00.000-08:00

That's right, I voted. I always do. I have never understood those people who don't go vote. That was the best part of turning 18;being able to vote.You know what always upsets me is when people complain about policies or presidents. I think to myself "you shouldn't care since you didn't vote". I'm not saying people aren't entitled to their opinion but if you don't vote you can't really complain.

Just like some people may be looking foward to summer and get sad when cold weather arrives; I like the cold. It makes me happy. I thrive in cold weather. It's the time that I get to snuggle with my warm blankets on that couch. I love doing that. This is the

Lunch: Huevos con Tortillas y Salsa Valentina

2008-10-07T13:10:00.000-07:00

This is what I had for lunch today two eggs with tortillas and some hot sauce. Simple meal that tastes so good when you add extras like the hot sauce. I like Valentina hot sauce because their hot sauce isn't as spicy as the Tapatio hot sauce. They do have another one that's spicier but the original is just right for me. If I do eat Tapatio hot sauce I will only use a drop or two on my food and

Hair

2008-10-04T11:54:00.001-07:00

I found a picture of myself when I was in high school where I still had my natural hair color. You can see that it's a dark brown color. I've been dying my hair since high school. That's a couple of years that I haven't seen my natural color. I've been thinking for a while now that I should let my natural color grow out. I have to dye my hair one more time because I bought hair dye and I don't

Looking back on my old high school photos brings such good memories. It wasn't that long ago that I was in high school but I still get nostalgic. I wonder why that is. What I have always truly loved about this photo is my hair color. It's just so vibrant and wild. I also like the way I'm staring at the ground. It looks like I'm thinking about something serious. All I could do to stop from

Bernie Mac Dies At Age 50

2008-08-09T08:26:00.000-07:00

I was listening to the news this morning and around 7 a.m. or earlier I hear Bernie Mac has died. I immediately got out of bed. For those of you who don't know who he is, he was a comedian and actor. So I get out of bed thinking no way how could he die, it's fake he's so young. He had been hospitalized for a while, which I didn't know, because of pneumonia. So that's what he died from. I'm still

Difficulty

2008-08-04T23:03:00.000-07:00

I've been having some difficulty getting my board book finished. It's mainly because it's so hot here in California that I don't feel like doing anything. I also have my little one to keep me busy. Sometimes I just get bored when I get a chance to work on my book and I know I shouldn't feel that way, it should be fun. When I get those feelings I just stop working on it and put everything away

Lately I've been thinking how blessed we are that no fires have broken out in the area we live in. I'm glad it hasn't happened. Yesterday on my way to visit my parents, I saw a long line of fire trucks one right after the other. I'm sure they were at least 10 trucks. They came from Beverly Hills CA and Davis CA. Davis isn't so far from where I live but Beverly Hills is hella far. Anyway those

I had never seen it before so I borrowed it from my sister in law.I know I'm feeling much better because of the fact that I got a lot more sleep than I have in the last couple of days.
