October
6, 2006 - Graphite Sketch
A quick
sketch. Not happy with it, but I gave up and figured it wasn't a
bad try since I haven't sketched people in over a year.
November

Finally complete! It took me long enough. Now just gotta get it
framed.
April
4 , 2005 - Model Airplane
Ah, the
labour of love. Over two months and many long hours later, I finally
finish Corey's Valentine's present - a model airplane! Bonus points
to those who can identify the type of plane. And for those skeptics
out there, yes, Corey liked it. I do believe this is the first and
last model I will ever build, paint, glue, and decal.

I want
to try sketching anime stuff. This cat demon from Inuyasha is my
first attempt.

2, 2004 - Banana Bread
A couple of the guys gave me a recipe book for my birthday. I've
been flipping through it and picked banana bread as my first baking
experience. It's pretty good so I'm happy. Then again, I would've
been happy with any result close to edible :P
Recipe:
 |
3
ripe bananas, well mashed |
| 2
eggs, well beaten |
| 2
tsps grated orange zest |
| 2
cups all-purpose flour |
| 1
tsp. ground cinnamon; 1 tsp. salt; 1 tsp. baking soda |
| 3/4
cup sugar |
| 2
1/2 ounces walnuts, coarsely chopped |
|
Preheat
the oven to 350F; Grease a 7x3" loaf tin.
Combine bananas, eggs, and orange zest in bowl.

This took me about 4 hours. I had been meaning to sketch this photo
for ages. Really loved the expression/pose.
July
24, 2004 - Graphite Sketch
A quick sketch. I didn't bother with the face b/c I wanted to focus
on stance. Less a portrait and more an action shot. I don't really
like it, but considering the short amount of time I spent on it,
I can't expect much more.

19, 2004 - Cross-stitch
Finally finished! Now I just have to frame it when I get back to
Victoria and my masterpiece will be complete.
May
28 , 2004 - Lino Cut
My first try at a lino cut. It was more difficult that I thought
it would be. Good thing I started off with a relatively easy design
- Champ, my champion mushroom. Check your brown paper mushroom bags
for him :P

Another sketch I finished recently. And by the way, I am NOT narcissistic.
I'm just practicing different poses and I just happen to be the
best and only model around.

I haven't sketched in ages, especially not sketches of people. So
cut me some slack in the sketch review please!

06, 2004 - Creamy Deviled Eggs
Okay, not really an art project but cuisine could
be considered a form of art, right?
Recipe:
 |
6
hard-cooked eggs |
| 2
tbsp. Miracle Whip Lite Dressing |
| 1
tsp. sweet pickle relish |
| 1
tsp. mustard |
| pepper,
paprika |
Cut
eggs in half length-wise; remove yolks; mash in bowl.
Stir in dressing, relish, mustard, pepper.
Spoon in mixture to egg whites; sprinkle with paprika. |
I
love deviled eggs. They are so easy to make too! Now all I need
is that specialized dish of my grandmother's and I'm all set.

29, 2004 - Knight & Steed block print |
|
Just
finished the most exciting step of block printing - finding
out what the print looks like after finally finishing the
carving!
I
am actually happy with this one. It turned out well. Took
me pretty much the whole weekend to sketch, carve, and print.
