Possibilities...

I have one again changed my blog. I decided to go with a custom header. I uploaded an image that I altered in color and size. I have also played around with the color of the blog. I have been constantly changing the color and layout of my blot throughout the week. The final color scheme I decided upon, consist of my two favorite colors blue and green.

I like changing my page often; it is a lot like my Myspace page in that you and customize the page to fit your personality. Over all I am really eager to start designing my website. I have tons of ideas in mind but I just got to learn how to apply them. I think with a little more practice on Dreamweaver I will soon be able to do all that I want and more.

Header

I have been changing the picture on my header lately. I haven't found one that I'm quite happy with yet. In some cases the image is too long or wide. to resolve that problem i have been using photoshop to alter the images to fit in with the design of the blog.

Bogger update

I have been changing a few things on my blog. I've played with color, layout, and templates. I'm still getting used to blogger. Html is confusing to me but, I'm slowly starting to get the hang of it.

Falling Leaves

The first assignment for my furniture class was to create a sculpture using a pair of wooden chopsticks and its paper sleeve.

Using my exacto blade, I started cutting the chopsticks into rectangles of varied lengths.
I glued the pieces together in triangular leaf inspired shapes.

Using sandpaper, I soften some edges of the leaves but kept some hard edges to have more abstract looking leafs.

I cut the paper sleeve into long strips of different sizes. I took the strips and wrapped them around the leaves to mimic veins.

I then took the small leaves and glued them together in a seemingly random manner to give a feel of falling leaves. With the remaining pieces of paper I cut out leaf shapes and added them to add more familiar organic shapes.
