How I did it
How to make a bag
It took me
1 day
It made me
extremely satisfied

How I did it: I've made bags before, so I know the drill a bit; This bag was all about the design... My 3D teacher/class asked for "a form you can carry on your body, which says something about your body." So I decided to bring my insides out and show off the bone structure of a female pelvis (now do you recognize it?) and to make it all a bit more artsy I stapled on a ribbon to symbolize my scar (appendicitis...).The picture is rather Low-Q, but it'll… Read how I did it…

How to dress up as a Disney character
It took me
2 weeks
It made me

How I did it: I decided to dress up as Jiminy Cricket in the end, because the first thing I actually bought while looking to throw together a costume, was a top hat like his: Blue with a red band. (I found it at a party/joke shop.)Brown trousers were easy enough (though I did make them myself) and for his vest I decided to simply sow a large yellow "button" on a sleeveless top - I had to wear the costume for the largest part of a fairly hot day. Togeth… Read how I did it…

How to get into art school
It took me
3 months
It made me
happy, but not sure

How I did it: I just followed the papers I was sent after I sent in my application - I had to write three bits: one about myself and why I wanted to go to this school, one about my style of work and in what kind of art I recognised it, and one about some paintings and reviews of these paintings.I sent those in (2 days late, because they had changed the date, but not on all the forms - typical) and then I started work on compiling my portfolio:I include… Read how I did it…

build a portfolio of still life drawings
joining in! 4 weeks ago

I think it would be a very good idea…
Mostly I just draw/paint people (and out of those mostly portraits), so yeah, it would do my portfolio a lot of good to have some still lifes in it.
I don’t expect to be a regular updater, but maybe this will get my deviantArt a bit further on the way as well. We’ll see.

Watch all the Harry Potter movies back to back
maybe tomorrow 4 months ago

I’ve calculated… it’s gonna take me 12 hours and 2 minutes to watch all (the 5 up ‘till now) back to back – so that’s only 56 more minutes than the Lord of the Rings! I can do that..
