Let my blog fly free...

     I have been stippling so much, and it's driving me crazy!!! Ugh...I have been looking for new ideas to do some other hands as well. I am gonna do a hand piece made out of objects found from nature, but it will not be done in stippling that's for shizzle. I might do a stippling series in a variety of mediums, and I'm not sure if I'll stick to the skeletal structure of a hand though. I have grown quite fond of the bones of the hand. It is soothing to me in a way.
     I am happy about my progress so far on my stippling piece, but I just don't feel like it's good enough for my portfolio. I can't stand doing the dots with all their tones. It just makes me so angry, but I will finish it. I am just going to take a short break from it so I can get my other pieces started. The objects found from nature project I think I will get started with. As well as another hand. I think my 3rd project for the month I will do stippling of the skeletal structure of the hand except in a different medium. Get this hand series started.
     I have been looking at hands everywhere I look at Cassie McCasky's hands whenever I'm with her, and I look at how a ring sits on her thumb, or how it moves she needs it to. I have also looked at other hands as well. Hands that hold cigarettes, and even some holding illegal paraphernalia. I feel if I painted, drew, or made a hand holding a beer bottle, or an antique bong. It's just about how the hand holds the object. Not the object the hand is holding. I even do observe my hand as it occasionally smacks Nena's leg during study hall, and lunch.
     I look at hands from all angles, and see where the index finger follows back, and hits the metacarpal. I love looking at hands. It's not till you study something closely, and then know all the things it's capable of. I knew we used our hands for lots of things, but some of the things we do with our hands is just so brutal, yet beautiful. Our hands are connected to our minds in a way. They channel our thoughts, feelings, processes, and knowledge. Aren't hands just so cool?!
