Monday Artwork: To Ink Or Not To Ink

I'm serious...

I tried a different approach in filling in the eye details and I'm not sure if I should ink or not... Or maybe I should turn her into a digital art project.

Monday Artwork: A Dabbler

And another blog series attempt.. I will "try" to start each week with a new artwork... Emphasis on try, you know me. I planned to do this series several weeks ago due to my Pony Brown obsession. I was just sidetracked a bit because of my resin class.

Anyway, for my first post I tried practicing what I learned in a watercolor class I took last year. I'm not quite satisfied with the results and I think I wasn't able to stretch my paper well. However, compared to my previous watercolor attempt, this is a HUGE improvement.

Must feather out some harsh edges....

On a different note, An online friend called me a dabbler (one not deeply engaged in or concerned with something.. source) recently and that I haven't been doing anything seriously for the longest time. Well, he may be right.

"Learning the basics of many arts but mastering none." - (Source)

It's true, I haven't mastered any art or craft from the long list of hobbies I tried. I didn't have anything to say when I was called a dabbler. Until recently I used to consider myself more of a "crafter" than an artist. Now I seriously think I'm more of a dabbler than an artist or a crafter =_= (See post for difference between a crafter and an artist).

Finished Product - Resin Workshop Day 2

I feel sad that the workshop is over! I felt at home being with "my kind" of people! Even though I was only at the CraftMNL workshop for less than 24 hours, I will miss the place. >_<

Until next time :)

This Thursday, I was finally able to see the results of all our hard work on day 1 and everything looked so pretty!!!

Curiosity Satisfied - Resin Workshop Day 1

I was finally able to try out making resin jewelry!! Early last year, I mentioned in a post that I was interested in trying resin as a new craft medium. I can't believe that it took me a year to finally try it out. Well, finding art supplies in the Philippines is so difficult.

I enrolled in a 2 day resin jewelry making workshop offered by Craft MNL. I wanted to enroll since March but I had to cancel my registration because of work. Thankfully, Craft MNL opened another session. Nikki, the instructor told me I was the first on to sign up for the class.. wahahaha~!
