Silly art whore falls in love all over again!

SCRATCHBOARD! I love you I love you I love you!

Well, I don't know you well enough to actually LOVE you yet, but lust is def an option!



Really cool medium. It's basically black paper that has a layer of white beneath the black, and you 'draw' by scratching off the layer of black so that the white shows up. Drawing backwards hurts my brain, but obviously releases endorphins! :D

They gave us that to work with in art class, and I was terrible at it. I think I just doodled cartoon penises and random curse words. Seriously, is there an artistic medium you do NOT excel at?! Macrame? Shrinky dinks? :D

CARTOON PENISES ARE THE BEST! Well, actually REAL peen is the best, but cartoon ones are fun too.

I'm pretty good with the Shrinky dinks, but I"m sure I'd suck at macrame. I'm also pretty stinky with watercolour, and I"ve never tried REAL paints. One day maybe!

Um, is ANYONE truly ever good at watercolor? You give me a white crayon and some blue watercolor, and I can make a kickass "aquarium" scene. When I took my art design classes for fashion design school, they made us do watercolor and marker clothing mockups. Well. I cheated. Watercolor PENCILS are amazing. You draw it, splash of water, see? Waaaatercolor! Markers are also not my forte. I'm so lucky my instructor never caught on.

I think you would really like acrylic as far as painting. Easy cleanup, colors are so vivid, and you can create fantastic textures. I just picked some up yesterday, because I have to do a piece for my future nephews bedroom. It's not super expensive either.

Omg, you should totally try to do a Snape or Megamind using those little round plastic circle beads you put on the pokey plastic base and then bake. That could be so awesome...
