Potter wands - day 103-104
I, Nicola, am a Harry Potter Fan. We already have our tickets for the first midnight showing of part 2, with a showing of part 1 first. A bit geeky maybe?
I saw these wands on instructables and here and thought it would be a nice activity to do. Plus the girl has a friend who wants a Harry Potter marathon night soon as she hasn't seen the first couple.
These were a bit fiddly, but I really liked the final look. Unfortuately, I think the hot glue on the outside might need sanding or something, becasue the paint began to rub off :(

Learning - day 102
I want to learn photoshop, illustrator etc, but as of yet am settling for the cheaper (free) GIMP program to learn some basics. SO much harder then I thought!
I decided to follow a tutorial on how to colour a black and white sketch, it took so much playing around with many layers and trying to work out how the layers work together.
Its very messy, but its a start (has to improve, as can't get worse!)
In the end, used a GIMP tool too emboss the image as well (hides the terrible colouring)

"Breaking" - DAY 100
This posted late,
Day 100 lacking in the super, life changing art I felt I should have been doing, instead....
My girl possibly broke her wrist (for the third time!!)... there is a fair amount of tension at the moment though about this as the doctors said it probably WASNT broken but, due to past times, wants it in a cast for a week (then seen by specialist)!!
AND its a full cast, so minimal movement + sleepless night + possibility of missing out on dance selection = a frustrated teen.
