Stripes II

I printed out a photo I found online to skip the whole 'draw it myself' step of my little stripe project. My printer is out of black and red ink, so the image came out in only blue and yellow. I used thin pens: orange, pink and blue (along with a very thin black ball-point) to alter the image. And last but not least, I used two different filters on my camera to photograph my final work. I kinda like it...

Tree House Notes

We are aspiring artists. We draw, we write, we snap photographs of things we find interesting.

Why "Balsa Wood Tree House"? A tree house is usually built by committee, out of cool things that are lying around. It is sturdy, but a bit rough around the edges. It is rarely built by a professional carpenter. As we are not pros, our talent level is akin to balsa on a 'wood scale'. You wouldn't build a museum out of balsa wood, but it is versatile and fun. Hopefully you find our artistic contributions to be the same.
