"...Do Something" Challenge

5 Cups, 5 Plates ...Do Something

     Ok, so when we last left off, I was terrified of this ...Do Something challenge that I had created for myself.  It was, at the least, something that I was dreading to do.  I kept putting this little challenge of mine off because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to do it.  BUT, as I started to sketch out some ideas, it came somewhat naturally... HOORAY!  Here is what I ended up with...

Not bad, Not bad...

      Now, I am not one to sketch.  In fact, I hate it!  It gives me this restricted feeling; like I am tied to the idea I just sketched out.  But sketching this time was very helpful, because it got me excited to try the ideas out.  Even though I was sketching, I did it loosely enough so that I could elaborate and experiment if need be.  Since I was experimenting, I figured I may as well try some new techniques too!  I am  pleased with the results, and can't wait to see them finished!

The Cups

The Plates...(minus one, which for me is not unusual) 

      I think for a first shot at surface, I did well and it was not as bad as I thought it would be.  I learned a lot, and now I have some solid ideas to work on for thesis. Hope you like them as much as I do!
