Weekend update

[taimatsu]

Yesterday was good! purpleheather and I went over to aardnebby's mother's house, to use her conservatory floor to paint things on. We got 2.3 banners and 1 curtain painted, so I have .6 banner and 1 curtain to deal with and Heather's got a coverlet to sew. The banners are faaaaantastic; Heather has photos so hopefully they'll be online sometime soonish (or I'll see if I can take some with Robert's camera!) Heather did a marvellous Balance symbol banner, and we both worked on the designs for the animal totem banner, which I then drew. It actually all looks very good indeed :) Heather and Steve painted their hands and did a healing-hand-and-moons design for one curtain; I stencilled a phoenix on the third banner. I have to complete that, do another one and two moons, and paint 'Kul-Tha Rangers' in the middle.

We were meanwhile fantastically fed by Steve's mum, and then went on to Rikk's housewarming, which was most enjoyable :)

2.3 banners painted and 0.6 to go? You have 2.9 banners?

Yup, I tore off .1 of the total to make the loops for the top. :)

Ah! Cunning

I look forward to seeing all these pictures! :)

Sounds funky :D

I managed to differentiate between the dog and the coyote and the fox and the wolf! I'm really chuffed :)

Wow...that is good going!

Did you manage to get something for 'strange mathematical symbol'?

[taimatsu]

No, Matt's apparently going to email me a picture. I must remind him :)

[purpleheather.livejournal.com]

Yeah - and everyone I've played the 'Which animals are these' gets them right!

As an aside, I reckon we can get a fairly good snake only picture based ont he fact that the initial image size is quite large - I'll give it a go!

They sound splendid! I love banners. Can you link to the photos when they come up as I don't know any of the other people?

[taimatsu]

I will do, yes. (Further burble about said images follows.) The Balance symbol has meaning in our made-up tribal religion; it's circular, and the circle is the size of a table! The totem designs are a lot of black outline animal drawings, anywhere between one and two flat-hands in area. There are thirteen plus a space for mattmachell's, which (just to be awkward) isn't an animal. So that's lots of small things. The final banner was meant to be just one big phoenix and moon, but we can only print the stencil up to A3 size, and that's not big enough to carry the banner alone, so there'll be two instead. I'm quite pleased that all the banners will have a different overall layout, as well as different images.

In the process of trying to draw a fierce warlike badger image, I inadvertently drew the cutest cuddliest wuddliest ickle-wickle baaaaaaby badger in the world ever, and will definitely be scanning that in to show to everyone I can possibly inflict it on. :)

Hmm...i need a BADGER! I'm holding out for a badger till the morning light...

[taimatsu]

Well, I guess if Brock does court Tamis successfully, I might need an ickle-wickle baaaaaaby badger picture... *ducks and runs*

[riksowden.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't that be sweet?
