Leaky Bucket Digital Update



Each week I get the privilege of whipping up something to use as a sermon title slide. I often only have a few hours to pull everything together so I have to take as many shortcuts as I can. They don't give me a budget for imagery so often I use things that are floating around in the creative commons copyright arena like the original image in the above sample. I added lots of added interest to what was already there, did some basic color correction and added textures and drips and such before thinking I had changed it enough to say that it was ok to use. My favorite part of this edit was drawing and shading the drips. it's been a while since I rendered water on a surface and it was fun, though quickly done. Wish I'd had more time to work on this... but I wish that most weeks. I just have to run with the first or second idea I come up with when doing these. I'm glad that the boss has allowed me to do whatever I want on these - and that he's approved the charges for the creative suite software that makes this kind of stuff possible.

Giving credit where credit is due - the base image of the leaky bucket is located at mi9.com

Stitching Project: Bear

Found a pattern for a simple bear on pinterst - decided to do one of them yesterday evening. It didn't take long and I think it turned out ok. What do you think? I'm not crazy about the shape of the arms - am going to make those a little different next time. I enjoyed doing it so much that I think I'm going to re-purpose those millions of old shirts into cute little plush dolls I can send with our church members when they go on various mission trips. And I should have enough left to put into an Operation Christmas Child box or two this fall.

Hang a Star - Illustration

The original sketch for "Hang a Star". I love to draw snowmen and little animals in scenes. Here's the completed illustration - colored digitally in photoshop.
