burning.

Made it for a history project. it's supposed to symbolize the affects of war. can you see it?


"burning"
the sky is filled with fire.
a white light covers the lands.
as smoke spreads through the air,
i fall to my knees with my face in my hands.
the guns crack pierces through me,
the swish of the blade in my ears.
i whirl, the sickly smell of gas
seeps into my skin and as i dissappear.

WOAH.

find some random berries.
crush them with a mortar and pestal.
make sure if the berrries have seeds, you separate them from the liquid.
keep crushing until it's an even watery liuid.
paint!

the color is amazing. its so pink, even if the berry was a deep purpley red, the juice is so bright.

*for a texture and deeper color, add mud.

some charcoal

this is my grandmother, bonnie. she's my father's

mother. this is her on her wedding day, and i tried

to capture the pure beauty of it. it's gorgeous, she's

gorgeous. i love this picture





this is joy. there is a lovely lovely picture of it that my sister took. she's an amazing photographer. i loved it so much i just had to draw it. this is the outcome.


this is one of the few picture's ive done without having a photograph to look off of.
i guess this is what i felt that day. and for some reason, i put the charcoal to the paper and a beautiful, miserable, strong woman appeared.
make of that what you will. im not saying that this is me in any way, i think that
this idea is what i like to portray best because it needs to be seen. i have known many strong, beautiful women and many miserable ones. nobody seems to notice, and me putting it to paper makes it a little more real, a feeling for people to avtually see.




i saw a photograph of a simlar picture in a book somewhere and thought. woah. this is beautiful. the little girl was stunning, the reflection was awesome?! and the two together was perfect.












COCA-COLA!!!!!!!

frickenamazingsaladdressing!

you will need:
small cup/bowl.
extra virgin olive oil.
balsamic vinegar.
dried oregano.
dried basil.
salt.
pepper.
honey [preferably heated til it melts down. its easier to stir.]



grab a small cup/bowl. pour in some extra virgin olive oil so it takes up about 1/3 of the cup. add balsamic vinegar-pour about three to four splashes. get some dried oregano and crush in about two to three pinches. repeat with basil. shake 5 shakes of salt and 3 shakes of pepper. stir. pour in honey for about three to four seconds. stir.

my grandfather had this friend mary. she used to make us spaghetti and meatballs and salad. she made her italian dressing with honey, thus inspiring me to later make my italian dressing with honey.
