You can microwave socks, why not other fabric?

I am in the process of making hand warmers for people at work. Its flannel fabric with short grain brown rice in it. I also added a little wristlet made of some unused shoelaces so that they don't have to put them down, just let them go. You put them in the microwave for 30 seconds and they stay warm for quite a while. This pair has gone to my grandma who kept exclaiming how they were still warm so long after being out of the microwave and tossed around the table.

Prior to this I had made one out of a bandana so it can go around my neck/shoulders, filled with lots of rice. I microwave it for longer, but while sitting next to it on my desk I was struck with the idea for the hand ones. Its cheaper or the same price as those single use ones and at work we have a microwave in the cafe by the registers so people can just go over and rewarm them. They are also reasonably small enough so they could fit inside mittens or even on the palms of gloves. Its not usually my hand that gets cold in gloves, but my fingers. So that may not be as awesome, but that's also why I don't like gloves, they make my fingers colder not warmer.

from yesterday

Drew this at work, left it down stairs on accident and so it didn't get posted till ...now



she has no name. This is the main character.
I was getting frustrated with my inability to just create correct proportions out of thin air without any reference or guides...so thats how the thing on the right came to be. I mock myself while I draw...

more from work

blah

stuff from work.

tired...

did this on half the back of the schedule from work, at work.

oh that number is the SKU to a trash can that costs 68 dollars. sad that I still remember that.

dress

just a really simple doodle about how my sister's dress for prom will work well without a necklace.

feels like a long day

drew this at work from memory.
Its our chocolate lab Louie. I call him poopy puppy because he's brown.

BLAH!

Had a lot of time to sketch at work today.


this is a lay from my work, she's really nice. I feel bad that she has to deal with the stupid angry customers


Before work I was reading people's IC journals for roleplaying on wow. I hate warpwhatevers from the game. They are very cool looking, but I hate fighting against them.


I watched Surfs Up on youtube recently, and I love the way the penguins are done. I made notes about how I wanted a "Chicken Joe is my hero" t-shirt. I may have to make this at some point. cause ya gotta love chicken joe. and so this is a very quick version of me as a penguin.

today and tomorrow

one from yesterday


and two from today

drawn at work

my brain is so not functioning today.

nothing much

just really basic logo things. I don't know anything about logo design other than that I am bad at it. Trying to make logos makes me really upset, so I thought if I worked really basic with shapes it might help some.

I think I don't like logos because they don't move like drawings move or can more in my mind.

late again

I've been tired and lazy in combo lately.

but I have been doodling.



lady plus space otter/thing (with love ofcourse) = some kind of witchy girl who becomes the old lady. but that kind of reminded me of yoda a little. But every story can benefit from old people.

stuff from work.

wonky looking up view of red. I am trying to do something I can make a print run out of, but I keep failing with intricate details or images that won't work well without the details.

fail mcfail pants

I doodle every day now, but I am failing to update here :(
I need to try harder!
