Glass

Stained glass is one of my favorite mediums, but I've never actually used it before. I found this artist, Robert Oddy, and really liked his works.

He has tons more on his website: so many I love that I can't post them all here. :)

Woot!

I can't believe that we're done with our concentration pieces! It feels great! My parents came to the AP art show and my dad was so intrigued with the encausted pieces that when I came out to the computer room today he was looking online at videos of how to encausting pieces. He's even considering (with little supportive nudges from me) to buy the materials needed to try it out. I'm so stoked.
As soon as I finish a couple more breadth pieces I'm going to be able to start on my dragons and random things again. Yet again, I can't wait.
I'm in a random mood right now, so here's a pretty nifty video of an elephant painting a picture of an elephant holding a flower. I'm amazed the trainers could teach it that well, actually.
