Senior Portfolio Update #1 and Craft Update #5

Hello dear reader!!!

I am excited to bring two updates for this post. This starts s new set of updates called "Portfolio Updates" for my senior inquiry as a studio art major. I am going to briefly introduce a project that is part of my portfolio and further details are going to come in the next update. Along with that is another craft update which actually relates to the senior portfolio. This is the only post where I am going to combine the two different types of updates. From here on craft updates are not going to include anything related to my portfolio.

This table is 12 inches in diameter and 2.5 feet tall. I put henna designs on the table with puffy paint using a precision squeeze bottle. This table was a practice round for a bigger display piece.




Felt flower designs, the first set I made for the bigger table display.

Ceramic tray, at least the top part. I have attached a simple round coil on the foot to give it support. I'll post more picture of all these in the new senior portfolio updates.
That is all for this update.

Art Update #1

Summer is here!!!! And my posts were put to an end because of finals...  ^^;

I'm here now...not that I was not productive, I just did't get a chance to post everything.

I finally went and tackled acrylic paint to create something....and it happened to be a flower painting, which was a present to my mom for mother's day. =)

It started out as a daisy, but than I let my wrist loose and it just went off into it's own little thing.
This has inspired me to create more flower paintings now. I am trying to capture personality or emotions of people in the paintings now...trying.

New Beginnings - Expressive Flowers Series
 This is the first flower... the one I gave as a gift to my mother.
Sun - Expressive Flowers Series




















This is my first attempt to capture someone's personality or emotions in a flower painting.

And I have started two more pieces for this series.
That is all for this post. I never posted this when I started to write it a few months ago.... but here it is.
