.003 - A few Prints

During my senior year of high school (07-08 school year) I created both of these prints using two different methods.
 Title: Bottle Study
This print is a bottle study.  Using the mono-print method  I created the background (the brown and gold base) then using graphite drew on the different sections of the glass bottle.  The full view of this piece can be found HERE .


Title: Two Worlds
This next print is a wood-block print.  Carved out of wood the image is then printed on paper.  Once on paper I waited for it to dry then used colored pencils to put the color in.  The full image can be found HERE.

I went yarn shopping the other day with my mother.  I found this incredible yarn by Sensations called Rainbow Boucle Multi. I bought two of the large skeins to make a small-medium sized afghan.  This will take me a while to complete, I'm really excited about the way it looks.  I also bought some crochet thread and started making bracelets for my friends, hopefully they will like them.

In a little over a week I start my 2nd semester of college.  Some of my classes include Figure Drawing, Design 2 and other base classes.  I'm pretty excited knowing I'll be getting back to art soon.  Also my school is holding a T-shirt contest to help people remember to wear a condom.  I know... interesting shirt, but if you went to the party school of the nation your school would be doing that too.  My school pretty much only has 2 serious majors which are any art major and nursing.   The submissions for the contest are due Jan 20th, I plan to enter.
