my sketch collection
- I hadn't scanned any of my sketches I'd gotten from artists in a while... so I did it tonight. Compared to most sketch collectors of sketches, I really don't have that many, but some of the ones I do have are so special to me. ^_^ I should try to get more...
---Question about Sketchblogs -
So I've been bad about posting in my sketchblog lately... I share it with several other artists, and frankly, I'm kinda intimated on one hand and limited on the other. They are really rad artists, and well, half the time, I feel like my drawings just aren't up to part to post in the same place as them.
And then on the other hand, I really like the format of Enrico's blog. I like that he posts photos or little dirty sketches or whatever he pleases. Not so much personal LJ stuff, mostly images. I would like to do something more like that, but I don't feel it really fits the format of the sketchblog I'm a part of.
What should I do? Should I make a separate LJ for photos and drawings and do it like enricos basically? Should I quit the sketchblog I'm in? Should I do both? or should I just make public posts in my current LJ with my photos and drawings like I currently do, and then people who are on my flist get to read the emo shit and my little pony ravings? :)
SEWING--- I've been trying to learn more about drafting patterns. I bought three books, one on fancy wedding gowns (usefull for some of the dresses I make... actually really interesting... and useful) and one on drafting patterns from scratch. So far though, the part I really FAIL at is trying to fix the fit of a muslin when there is a MAJOR problem with the fit/size. minor fit problems I can do. Major problems, not so well. Ie, if the shoulder line is way too far out, I'm not sure the best way to fit the armhole/shoulder line problem. If there is pulling in part of the bodice, I'm not sure what to change to solve the problem. This is SO frustrating! I wish I could take a class but I don't know where to find one. :\ And my body type is unusual, I'm long, my shoulders are narrow and my hips are big. I always have fit problems. I'm getting better, but every once in a while I run up against a brick wall and I'm not sure what to do.
I sent the most awesome Easter basket to my mom. I know she will LOVE IT. I'm so happy.
I think I'm really going to like my new job. So far, knock on wood, it seems less stressful and interesting!
