BE's never-ending fun ** 4 completed TR's ** Thousands of Photos

I never even would have thought to stop there to check if it hadn't been for your trip report i'm reading, so thank you!

And I don't think it's silly if you got everything you needed on the other side.

You are welcome! My TR has finally done a good deed. Aw, I'm such a proud mommy now. I may just tear up a little.

 

[DisneyStitch626]

Haha, I am sure I am not the only one it helped!

 

[Belle Ella]

Sometimes I wonder, lol. But it's not like I don't do this for myself anyways

Well it is a great way to remember ALL of the trip, and not just bits and pieces! I am planning on doing it too. I have started a little PTR myself, but I dont have much experience in this stuff, so it's not the greatest. But it's a start! I don't know when the next time we will get to go to DLR, so I am going to try and get as many notes as I can so I can write my own TR.

I am sure I will see him. I will just keep checking every day at the DCA sides City Hall.

Sounds like a plan and I may steal it.

Well, since I shared my life-size me contours, I figured I can share this stupid shell thing as well. I'm a little nervous because it's a bit smaller than we were supposed to do. I'm trying not to stress out about it, but it's easier said than done.

Does it at least look like a shell?

How sad is it that it took me about 3 hours to do this?

I like it. I think it is pretty and I can see where it would take you time to make it.

The great thing about TR's is that there is no right way and wrong way to do them. Whatever works for you is the right way and whatever works for me is the right way. With all the photos I take with my SLR, that's what most of my report turns out to be (well, then there's me babbling into an occasion long-winded story, but that's another matter altogether). And those photos are sometimes the only way I can remember what we did and when.

I'm actually thinking about leaving the SLR at home for the trip in July and seeing how much that changes my TR. It would definitely be faster in the writing process since I wouldn't have another 3,000 photos to edit.

I like it. I think it is pretty and I can see where it would take you time to make it.

Thanks Michele. I was so stressing out earlier. It's funny - once I'm in class and surrounded by people (including my new artBFF) it's not so stresful and I get a little confidence in me. But the second I get back home and have to work on it, all that confidence flies right out the window.

Stupid, never ending cycle!

If I remember too, I'll take a photo in a minute so you can see what I did to it today in class. It's starting to take shape into the final piece.

I got to paint with more coffee!

What is it with your teacher and the coffee painting. I understand why you feel the way you do. If it were something you are really familiar with it would be different for you.

....enjoy Trip reporting.


I choose to do it as a wonderful way to preserve precious memories.


By the way, I am about to embark on my very first trip into Disneyland in a few more days.

If ya want, you can follow along in my trip report.



PSSSST! BE - love yer trip report! Great pics.

It's a very good question! He did give us a reason for it -- something to do with bringing out the foreground and yada yada. It makes sense to him, that's all I know. Oh, and I know I find it fun, so I don't mind. I get to spend a full class period doing nothing but doing a coffee wash on my background since you need a few layers and you need it to dry.

So here is after my 3 hr. class:

I still have a lot to do with it - like paint - but I still have a few more coffee + ink washes I have to do. Nameless and I are trying to see Alice tomorrow morning and if so I'll stop by Peet's with my gift card, get more coffee and work on it tomorrow afternoon rather than wait until the last minute like normal.

PSSSST! BE - love yer trip report! Great pics.

Awwws Thank you. I like to hear it when people like my TR. Otherwise it's just me and Michele babbling away like crazy half the time Not that that's not awesome too Michele!!

I will be looking for your trip report knewton64!

And I love all the pictures in your trip report BE. It would be a shame if you didn't take your SLR!! At least take your point and shoot!

Sorry, I don't know how to do the quote thing.

 

[DisneyStitch626]

And I love the coffee idea! I bet your project is smelling pretty good!

Well, then tonight your gonna learn something new! It you look at the bottom of my post there should be a row of blue buttons on your right.

1.) It's says quote and has a page and a quill little image on it. Clicking that will quote that individual post and take you to a new screen to post your reply.

2.) It should have a page and quotation marks. This is how you quote multiple posts. If you click it for every post that you want to quote it will change colors to show that you are quoting that post and then you simply click "Post Reply" and it will take you to the new screen with all of your quotations to post your reply.

3.) The last one just has the page and quill and if you click it will open up the quick reply box at the bottom of your screen

You have no idea!! I had to do the wash on our last project (the photo is somewhere back in the madness that is my TR) on the floor of my kitchen and weeks later we can still smell it. They all get stored in my bedroom so the aroma is inescapable. It's wonderful to wake up to - especially after it's been raining because my room does get a little damp seeing as I technically have a big whole in m wall that they call a swamp cooler, and it just re-releases to coffee attack on your senses!

I would prefer all my painting to be done by coffee now.

That would be a nice smell to have in your room. Too bad about the dampness though. Can I ask what a swamp cooler is? I don't think I have ever heard of that, lol.

You're welcome

It is so far from my area of expertise so I'll let Mr. Wiki share the answer for me: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporative_cooler But it's placed in a window that was knocked out in my room and it doesn't totally fit so my bedroom is pretty much open to the environment a little bit, lol. It's a nightmare for me.

Especially in summer with my allergies!!

 

[DisneyStitch626]

Yikes! That can't be fun. I would be constantly worried about bugs. I hate bugs. All kinds! Moths are the worst.

 

[disneyland89]

You've never heard of a swamp cooler??
Oh here in Arizona they are so popular. I've never lived in a house without one. (Not saying that I like them.......I actually HATE them.)


Love your TRs/PTR by the way..............

They're a nightmare, aren't they? We live in an older house here in CA and don't have any kind of centralized heating/cooling so it's really all that we've got. The kicker is that it hasn't been working for about 4 years now but it's still there - effectively making a giant whole in my wall. It's ridiculous.

And Andrea, bugs, dust, you name it it found it's way into my room. I could never find a set up that would keep my bed clean and I had to make sure my bed was covered by something any time that it was on.

 

[Belle Ella]

Oooh! I forgot to say thank you! I'm glad you've enjoyed them.
