Ha! Schedule? If I didn't have responsibilities, none would exist XP
Well right now I'm supposed to be studying for exams or sleeping, but I'll talk about the craft project I did a few days ago. Which was Crazy Day (I swear it's my favorite day of the year with the exeptions of April Fools and some other holidays).
I've been planning to make one of these for a long time. This time I made a plastic bag skirt, because I didn't feel like making a full dress. I used one extra-large black bag for the the bottom layer. Then I duct-taped (and god bless the inventor of duct tape) fence-shaped cut-outs of white bags. There was at least ten layers of them all around, so it sort of resembled feathers. There were some other aspects to my outfit, like I wore a headband that I decorated with gift-ribbon. But because I have an obsession with matching my outfits, a lot of people didn't realize I was participating. The skirt looked totally put together, and many of my friends only figured out it wasn't made of actual material until I started mending it with scissors in the afternoon. My psychology teacher loved it, but the skirt definitely did not have nearly the same impact as my No Face look. My new Japanese teacher asked if I ever study at all, because I spent around 4 hours the night before making it ;) The last thirty minutes were most productive because my mom came up and helped me while I wore it. I think I have to invest in a mannequin.
Another big accomplishment for me: I made an MV using actual video. Forgive my amateur-ishness, lol. I've taken songs and made videos using hundreds of pictures before. This time I took two Japanese PVs by KAT-TUN and cut it to fit one of my favorite songs. I was proud of myself because I did everything over one weekend. I downloaded the program (Sony Vegas Pro) in the evening, started making it that Saturday night, and rendered it by Sunday. I was afraid to show my mom, but she loved how I timed it. I watched the original PVs and I think my timing was better, yay. Of course, I totally admire the actual owners for the awesome job with the CG, the choreography, and the video-taking skills. Their work must be exhausting! I think I may decide to become a director or editor now, because it was so much fun. I probably watched my video over a hundred times ^~^
Anyway, I'll update when I do more projects. Haven't been painting recently because my family's undergoing summer-cleaning. That essentially means every empty crafting spot is occupied with items that haven't seen the light of day in months. And I'll also be traveling this vacation. So many things are there to look forward to. Hope y'all have a great day <3 |
