Pop Quiz Drawing

Alright, we'll try this again. You were sadly unexcited about the last one-- could only three of you figure it out? I'm fine with random guesses, just say something! Last week's picture was an elephant. If you have trouble seeing it, the part that's wrapped in wire is the tusk, the trunk is turned in, the ear is on the left, and the eye is in the center.  Well, it's towards the top in the center. I'm pleased to say that of the three responses I got, all three were correct. I was hoping more of you would participate, but I guess it's a good start. :) As promised, those three people were entered in a drawing, and the winner is... (drum-roll please)... Amanda Kittelson! :) Congratulations, and good luck next time, to all of you. Speaking of next time: here's the new picture.

This is an abstract one, so it might be a little tougher. It's a pendant for a necklace, and I want you to tell me what it represents. Go with your gut and you'll probably be right. And if you're not sure what it is, guess anyway. I really want my inbox FULL of guesses. Really.

Please send your guesses by 8pm on Saturday October 30th (Friday didn't work for me so well this time- hopefully on Saturday I can put out the next one right away). Email them to mareniduna@hotmail.com with the subject line "Mareniduna Pop Quiz."  If you would rather send me a note on Facebook or a note through Etsy, you're welcome to do it that way too. Like last time, the correct guesses will be entered in a drawing to win your choice of a custom piece of jewelry or a custom portrait.

I've discovered that some of my creations aren't obviously identifiable.  I thought this one was obvious until I showed a few people and no one could figure it out. Of the 12 people I've shown it to so far, only 1 has figured it out. Guesses? You have one week (answers due by 8pm on Friday October 22). Send guesses to mareniduna@hotmail.com. Correct guesses will be entered in a drawing to win your choice of a custom piece of jewelry or a custom portrait. Enter as many answers as you like; if you get it right, you'll only be entered in the Drawing once. Let the games begin!

Friendswood Mustangs

Working at a craft store, I end up helping people with lots of random projects. My latest student was a lady that happened to live a block away from me and was having trouble with her Yudu Screen Printer. Until now, I hadn't had the privilege of working with one out of the store, and it was a new experience. I learned the finer points on emulsion, and even learned about other options, like the paint-on emulsion, which I think would be worlds easier if it weren't for the fact that it has to be done in a darkroom... 

Anyway, the Yudu is a whole 'nother story- today I wanted to share what was born out of this experience: my very own logo for our school district's football team, the Friendswood Mustangs. I don't know that it's the world's best, but my new friends thought it was great, and since they're the ones wearing it, that's all that really matters, right?
