My this site is loading slow today.

I wanna have a lazy day but alas I have to work and I have both housework and homework that must be done today.
 

This site IS slow today! And very glitchy! Lots of things won't load. Maybe they are still working on upgrades or something. :confused3

Every day seems to be a lazy day at work for me lately. Just not much work to do these days. Answering phones doesn't take much time, so I spend most of my days on here lately! :)
 
I wish I could get online at work. But then again, I'm only working 2 days or so a week right now. It's very, very lame!

I am so annoyed at myself right now. I spent yesterday doing my Health homework and was going to work on my Art project this morning before class for a few hours and see how much I could get done. Unfortunately for me, the original copy that has my grid on it that I need to work on my larger drawing. Which by the way, I'm really liking right now. You would bust out laughing if you saw the first one I did without a grid because it was just ... BAD! But right now, it looks good. Since I can't work on it, I'm going to take a photo of it real quick and share it (provided I can find my card reader).

Do ya'll have any Easter plans?
 
I kind of get put off by having weddings someplace where family and friends are going to have to shell out big bucks in order to attend. It's one thing if it's where you live and they have to pay to get out there but another if you're going off to some location and expecting everyone to go. I'd pass, even if it was my sister, but that's just me :rotfl:

We got married in Mexico, three years ago. When we did price comparisons for our guests, it was actually roughly the same price for them to fly to Mexico and stay on site than to fly into Seattle and stay. And the benefits for those planning the wedding? Infinitely less stress involved. And INFINITELY less expensive.

I don't think people that choose to have destination weddings feel that any of their guests are obligated to attend. If anyone is coming in from out of town, you kind of have to assume they may not be able to make it. That's just the thing. Come if you can (or want to), don't if you don't.

And that's a way I've never looked at it. Part of it probably has to do with the fact it's not anything that's ever come up for me. What do I know, lol.
 
OK, here's the small study after 3 hours of work on it:

That's looking really good. Can you post the original that you're copying?

I think I did ages and ages ago but we tend to go through pages really fast over here. I'll post them side by side:

Hardly perfect, but I'm working on it :laughing:

It's by Michelangelo, "Ideal Head of a Woman".
 
It's looking good - nice work. That's a very complicated drawing with lots and lots of shades and tones. Are you using charcoal?

Right now I'm using charcoal pencil for the small study. I'll be using vine when I get to the big drawing if I feel comfortable with it which I don't. :lmao:

Yay, my mom is home. I can work on it now!
 
I wish I could say it looks good compared to the original, but it's not loading here at work! The original is though. :confused3

And I agree with the Mexico wedding, I have always wanted one, and I wouldn't expect a lot of people to show up, but I would really want my immediate family there, so that is why we are going to have to try our best to be there! And it's a trip to Mexico, so we can't complain too much.
 
I think that's lookin' good Jazz. Much better than anything I could have done. I am so not an artist. lol

I've already forwarned my family that should I opt to tie the knot again, it'll be something very simple on a beach somewhere.

Do ya'll have any Easter plans?

Our plans are more Saturday related. Scotty has a bicycle race on Saturday and that is Kacy's 17th birthday and my mom's birthday. Sunday will just be a lazy day.

We got married in Carson City, Nevada. Whoever wanted to come could. We are simple.

Look's good.

Well, this is as good as it's gonna get before I got to class. :lmao:

Look's good still.
 
Well, I'll get a photo of what it looks like after class when it stops raining here. I don't want to get it wet getting it from my car to the house! And I started the final version of it as well. Fun times! I've got a lot to work on over my spring break.

That gives you a chance to take your time and do a relaxed project, or be like everybody else and rush through it at the last minute.
