365 Day 93

I'm not very fond of auto focus

One of the things I did today was to put another layer of color on the middle ghost in this painting.

I am trying to build up layers of color so that I can scratch through it.



before today's color layer










It is a wee bit frustrating to me that the camera will not focus on what I want it to focus on...that darn auto focus!





after today's layer of color








I wanted to show all of the wonderful colors and the sort of glow that is developing around the middle ghost. Oh well -- it is there -- I can see it in person.



hard to see in this photo, but the middle ghost is developing a really cool glow around it

Teef!

Another "first" for me today...working with Fimo polymer clay. AND this is the kind that glows in the dark. So funny. It really, really glows brightly.

I couldn't get a good photo of the glowing teef in the dark with this camera, so I tweaked the photo as well as possible to give the idea of the effect. They glow a yellowy green (with no pink). (Guess what -- I am not a digital photo person, either...add it to my long list of "I'm not's"...LOL)


they are that bright in the dark, though!



















UPDATE: Oooh...I put the first few bottom teef in place.

Day Nine

Here are some shots of the very, very basic prototype for my other upcoming series for Art-o-mat®.

It will be called either Tunnel Vision or Tunnelvision...I haven't decided yet. Feel free to chime in on which you like better (and which way you are thinking of the phrase).

The "real", finished pieces will have accordion fold walls made of nicer papers on the outside than these basic photos show. Each tunnel will have a teensy Animal Person inside. Oh, and the very end wall will have some sort of punched out part with paper over it, so that if you hold it up to the light you can see the punched out area "glow".

I really like Art-o-mat® pieces that are bigger than the box they come in...it is always such a surprise.
