Ich habe mal wieder gezeichnet ... :)

I was in "that mood" again yesterday, which to me means, "drawing mood". Menaing I drew. I drew a picture of Malice Mizer in different times with the clothing and poses and such I thought would fit best to them. For some reason, the times didn*t always correspond with each other.


From left to right : Közi (impersonating Dalí in my mind for some reason), Kami (As I*d imagine him to have looked during some kind of revolution or war), Gackt and Mana in more or less traditional Japanese clothes (Mana looks like a rapper to me!), Yu~ki as Count Backula, Klaha writing to Yu~ki, and Tetsu ... works at a spaceship, apparently. :)

I don*t know what was wrong with me. I also wanted to draw hands better (I often avoid doing that!). I hope you can see what I mean :).

Oh the dreaded pliers. :P

I am currently taking a break from the place I usually wriite at, thus trying to gather more time and ideas for projects I could talk about here :).

Since I*m currently taking part in a project for people who want to make greeting cards and such, I got to make greeting cards a lot recently, but I cannot show evidence since I didn*t take any pictures. It was really amazing, though; we worked with water colour crayons, i. e. crayons that you paint something with, and then you grab a paint brush (NOT too wide, though!), dip it into water, and brush over what you painted ... It will give a little water colour effect, and since I love water colour pictures, I want to try this at home. We also added smaller things to the cards.

Right now, the next step of the project is to make things for Crizzlemas (something that, once folded, looks like a tree or an angel or whatever), aaand we start making key chains ourselves next week. All this really IS inspiring me to make my own greeting cards and such. Working with the pliers (something that is necessary for making key chains) was a little hard, but I will get the hang of it after a few tries I guess :).

Then, I am planning on corresponding with other people more via actual letters, which is a good idea I think, since I haven*t written to people in such a long time. ^^

I also want to make a list of projects I really want to do, but then again, they are probably not always unlike the original ones. I want to try some things, though, like ...

* CRAFTING MORE.
* Making stuff off FIMO.
* Making jewellery myself.
* Working on the perfect paper (...) :D.
* Painting an actual picture with water colour crayons first and then making a water colour painting out of it.
* Making an actual art journal.
* Continuing to work on my RSLB.
* SEWING, knitting, etc.

I have found that, unlike what I believed when I was a child, I am not that bad at crafting. Back in my childhood, I thought I totally failed there, but I also guess I just didn*t have the right tools ... E. g. the glue I used always was very dry and didn*t stick. And I could barely use the scissors I had. It is getting better :).
