Week 1

Well, week number one is complete! I am slightly ashamed to say that I took no pictures two days in a row. I have no excuse, only that I was uninspired one day and the next I forgot my camera, but the point is to challenge my creativity not stress it, so I'm not too worried about it.
It definitely has been a challenge especially when I'm at work looking at the same things everyday, however beauty can still be found in the familiar. The first image for day 2 is the view looking out of where I work:
And the inside view:

For Day 3 I did some sewing, a few robots for Christmas and a little birdy for the fun of it:

And lastly, for an assignment for my photography class I was instructed to take a photo of fresh fruit or vegetables and make them look "good enough to eat". Turns out all I had was an eggplant and some apples, the apples were not hard because they always look good, but there is no way an eggplant ever looks appetizing! However, I'm pretty pleased with the end result.

365 Days of Photographs

I have never fully embraced the world of blogging, I try but I rarely feel inspired and am not much of a writer. So, thinking on this I have decided the reason I've never embraced it is because I am a visual person, I think and feel in images not words. As an artist colors, shapes and textures appeal to me. So instead of trying to make my blog what I think it's supposed to be I am going to make it what I want it to be (which is really the point after all). With that said, in order to give myself a goal I intend to catalog 365 days of photographs, not only to add something more visual to my blog, but to keep me sharp and creative in my photography skills. I may not post a picture every day, but I will take one everyday and hopefully post them a few times a week. These pictures will have no rhyme or reason, they may be of whatever piece of art I happen to be working on, photo assignments for my class or just something I happened to have found pretty. So...in the spirit of turning over new leaves, my first contribution is of a few leaves found in my back yard. If you happen upon my blog, I hope you enjoy the images as much as I do.

Feature Friday!

Today is the first of Feature Friday's where I will be featuring robot related items, be it photographs, artists, plushies, music or figures. Today's feature is called "The Worldly Guy" by fellow Etsyer "Reclaim2fame", this little guy makes me smile all over my face!

And, introducing Spaz-bot!

New seasons

The holiday is over and so is summer. I excited to see cool weather come, it has inspired me to be more creative! I have been working on new designs and am super excited to be posting them. Here is a sneak peak at some sketches I've done for new robot designs:

Troglodytes and BFF's

It has been an embarrassingly long time since I have visited my own blog. My alter-ego as a part time troglodyte has kept me very busy, but I have found time to work on a few creative endeavors, here's a few things I've been working on but just haven't posted to Etsy yet. First, the BFF Swapping Robots!

And, one of my personal favorites: The Ringmaster!

Summer fun

More and more I have been wishing that I was back in elementary school when you could really look forward to summertime. School would be out and that meant three months of fun! All day every day to spend barefoot outside, catching bugs or be as creative as possible! But sadly I had to grow up and summer just isn't nearly as magical, I still get excited about it every year around april though, but it comes and I still have to go to work and I don't have as much time to do the things I love. So, my creative self goes on vacation for a bit, which is really too bad because summer is so full of inspiration! It has not been all bad though, I am slowly but surely working on new designs for robots, and I have also made a sweet, sweet mousey pin cushion:

I going to be posting him on Etsy tonight, I'm excited to see if anyone else finds him as cute as I do.
