My dad got his head shaved as part of a St. Baldrick's Day event - so I knit him up a hat. This is me showing off the hat before I mail it off to my dad. The hat is my own design (although quite basic) but I choose the softest yarn I have come across, so I hope it will be cozy.

A leaf!

Primrose

This is a primrose!

Chrysanthemum

 
This is a Chrysanthemum.  So far, this has been the most time consuming flower I have knit, but it turned out quite nice, even if it looks a little like an alien that might eat your face :)

Rudbeckia

Colors open to interpretation!

Knit peppers

The pattern was for carrots, but I see very little point in owning orange yarn. So, they get to be peppers instead!

Poinsettia

This is my completed knitted Poinsettia

Knit field poppy

This is a field poppy that I knit yesterday. My first knit flower!

Halloween

This year I was a half elf.  Why half?  Because I failed to acquire pointy ears!

Lily - Three Variations

I took this picture in summer of 2008.  I did an oil pastel and a colored pencil rendering of it.  The oil pastel is free hand.  For the colored pencil version, I printed out a faint version of the image and colored over that.  Unfortunately, I used standard paper, so I don't know how long the physical version of the drawing will last.  The digital version, on the other hand, should be fine for some time :)

My first oil pastel

Coloring

I've started coloring as a way to relax.  I've uploaded a few of the ones that I like the most.

Also, here is a pencil drawing that I did in April

Old Orchard Beach … Bed and Breakfast

I went up to Old Orchard Beach, Maine this last weekend.  There was lots of rain, and then some more rain.  After that, it rained.  So, I pretty much spent the entire time relaxing in the bed and breakfast I was staying at.  It was nice to just hang out and not do much of anything!

Don’t Leave Reality Without …

 
I have recently completed Digital Photography II, which covered night photography, panoramas, and HDR (high dynamic range) among other things.  For the final project, I have created a poster titled “Don’t Leave Reality Without …”
The poster weighs in at 26″ x 36″ at 300 dpi.  The link at the left takes you to a reasonable size image, if you hit the “download” button on that page, you’ll get the whole big monster image.

Stuff People Put in Trees

(Note to self: pictures need to be re-uploaded and links repaired.)

I took a course on digital photography this last semester at NEU. As a final project, I decided to take pictures of the things that people put in trees. This was inspired by these fascinating little round mirrors that our neighbor put into her tree.
Each picture tells a story of a tree and someone’s interaction with it. Many of them are taken at Francis William Bird Park where people plant trees in someone’s memorial, or carve their current sweetheart into the bark of one big tree. Others were taken around where I work or on the way to work.

Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors

I generally don’t feel compelled to write about the games I play, but Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors has been demanding that I share my thoughts with the world since I first put the disk into my Wii.
