Ginger's Getting Big!

OK, just one more post for the day...pinkie promise. I snapped a few pics of Stacy and Roger's newest addition while we were painting the office. She's getting so big!

New Kitchen Stuff!

So I'm really excited because I got some new kitchen gadgets and such for my birthday. I got some fun tools from PJ's family, such as a avocado slicer. I also got a bed bath and beyond gift card from PJ's grandparents, which I bought a cookie scoop, oil bottle, and a few other odds and ends with. From my parents I got a target gift card, which I bought even more kitchen stuff with (and a few girlie things like a new purse). I just love experimenting while cooking, and it's so fun to buy new things! One of my favorite purchases are two glass canisters that I bought at Target with my gift card. They are simple, yet beautiful, letting the ingredients be the art:






Yeah for fun new kitchen things!

Finished!

So I successfully finished my project for rendering, here it is compared to the actual photo:





Not too bad for about twenty hours of work!

Art Project

Here are a few pictures of the art project that I was talking about:

So the project is that we have to do a self-portrait. We had to take an 8x10 photo and make a grid on top of it of 1/2" squares. Then we had to take our illustration board and create the same grid. And then the hard part...we have to copy each individual square! This has not been too hard for me, because this is how I actually learned how to draw. But this is the first time I've ever had to do such a small grid with so many details and dynamic values. It is taking me around an hour per column now that I'm getting the hang of it. So far I've spent about fifteen hours. Yikes! But it's gonna look awesome!!!
