Thursday Art Walk... ON FRIDAY!

 

In Which I've Done An Art (Hopefully Correctly)

Thursday was... a lot. The cat tried to be sus and get into the vent (I don't play that Among Us game, I just know that lingo because Twitter exists lol), the microwave's turntable is breaking down, and we got some bad news from a family member today. All of this is on top of my concentration being completely gone and my plans for Thursday all scattered like so many small birds...

It was, in short, not a great day to be trying over with the Block Art.

But I still did it!

"Squares 2.0"; digital art; 2022

YES! IT IS CRISP! IT IS SQUARE! IT IS HIP!

To me, this almost looks like some sort of blurred out photograph, maybe of someone dancing in a park! I really should try to refine a palette next time, but going for full random on Coolors.co was fun, so I'll look through their pre-generated palettes for inspiration. And it does set up a few more options for art in the future!

Pixel Art, here I come!

So yes, this went up on Friday instead of Thursday, and not for particularly great reasons. I really want to find out if I can add brush packs to Paint.net, too, because only having round brushes is the butts. Gimme some squares, guys. Or at least make it easier for me to figure out how to make squares without having to overuse Copy/Paste. My poor Ctrl, C, and V buttons are getting finnicky.

So yes, we have our first 100% success on Paint.net!

I'm gonna go to bed, because it's past 2AM and I am pooped.

Go Enjoy Something!

Update: I fell asleep for like an hour before I added the link and now I'm posting this at half past 3 lol!

Fiber Monday 244: Pumpkin Spice Reveal!

In Which I have Finally Finished the Pumpkin Spice Set!

 I bring you tidings of great joy!

I'm done with pumpkin-related accessories! Yay!

Here we see the set altogether - Scarf, Fingerless Gloves, Hat!

My biggest challenge today was finding spots for all the leaves and making several corkscrews to serve as vines. If you're wondering how to make one, here you go:

1. Make a chain - however long you like or depending on the project at hand. Smaller corkscrews can be super cute, even useful as piggy tails!
2. Make three (3) Single Crochets in the second chain from the hook and in every chain after. These groups of three will make your corkscrew!
3. When you reach the end, tie it off. You're done!

Easy enough, right? That's why you see it from me. I'm too lazy to do anything spectacular, lol!

Here's the top of the hat.
I used two different kinds of leaf, so I'm not sure how cohesive it looks, but there we are...

The fingerless gloves have brown along the cuff to simulate a stem (like on the hat)
I had two different sizes of small leaf, so I used those to differentiate one from the other, lol.
The one with a smaller leaf has a slightly longer corkscrew, too.

Finally, we have the scarf, which has also been edged on one end with brown
and has two different leaves and a long corkscrew.
One leaf is actually from a pattern for a coaster, lol!

So that's it for the pumpkin spice project! They're a cozy trio of accessories, so if you're looking for something to make for a present for someone, just pick up an H/8 (5.00 mm) hook, some worsted weight yarn, and check out the previous weeks.

If you're looking for various leaf patterns to work from, I used the search "Free pumpkin leaf crochet" and found a lot of random patterns.

I also basically just gave up and started using maple leaf patterns, lol.

This means that I need to pick a new project!!!

I'm pretty excited, guys :)

That's all from me!

Go Enjoy Something!
