Glass Oceans

     I've been working really hard on this canvas of mine so I hope you enjoy all the effort I've put into it! I'm going to sell it at an art thing this weekend and I just cannot contain my excitement! :D My ideas of this changed so much, ha ha, so bear with the pictures I give you. I'm also planning on making any other type of art, at request, for a fee! So feel free to e-mail me at shawneedear@live.com if you are interested! Now we commence!
In this bit, I was just playing around with the little I did have,
I painted the sky darker than where I wanted the ocean to go and left the beach blank,
I used a little more than half a broke CD for the setting sun,
 and I had drawn out the surfer girl.
I ended up not putting the rays of the sun.
Sorry for the sideways-ness. -___-"
But here I glued the sand down on the canvas,
created a barrier between sand and ocean,
and began laying down the tiles for the ocean.
 If you notice, the middle tiles are different that the far tiles.
I hated it and immediately removed all the tiles,
save for the wave and sand barriers.
That in itself took a few days. o.O
 I started crushing the tiles using a mortar and pestle.
The glue began to dry as I laid the tiles so I thought I needed spray glue,
but it turns out, you can make spray glue with glue, water, and vigorous shaking!
I used chevrons for the birds,
and if you notice, my surfer girl looks different than before.
This is because she got wet by my spray/pour-on glue, ha ha.
But I like how it turned out!
And then *POOF* the final result!
(:


HEY LOOK AT THAT, I also completed Goal #38: Do a marvelous canvas painting!
It's not really a painting but I think it counts!
:D

Passion, i just want to say something. Dont take this as an attack on your person but something to think about. Your a great person and was a great friend, and i know im not the most mature person out there, but the way you actually do change your mind about things would be put as childish. I change my mind about small things but not too big of things. You say you try not to disappoint people but when you change your mind it does. Like today i woke up not wanting to go to the beach, but 4 other people were counting on me and were excited to go, so i went and actually had a lot of fun riding my longboard down there, until i noticed i got a parking ticket. I know you have heard this many times before, but when you dedicate yourself to something, unless there is an emergency, you go through with it, and you may be suprised with what happens. So maybe when you get past this little phase then maybe we can be friends, if you want. Doesnt matter to me, i'll just keep living. Well whatever, bye.
