Creating new stuff

I've just been thinking about what I want to draw next.  I've been thinking of drawing from some of the twilight or breaking dawn photos for fun.  I've been seeing people on ebay selling their stuff  on there that they custom make.  I recently saw a graphic artist who was making her own t shirts of a few of the twilight pictures. 

All she really did was take the photograph of Bella and Edward kissing and she doctored it up in her graphics software.  But it is still basically the original picture.

I'm thinking I would be able to take the whole photograph and draw the whole thing with perfect likeness.  And then I would probably take the image and do my own thing to it.  Add flowers and other things.

I've got to get back to drawing soon.

Lately, I have been just knitting and then I caught the jewelry making bug.  That is fun.  I started making those bottle cap necklaces and charm bracelets and knitting markers.  I enjoy making the knitting markers.  I've got two people on ebay looking at a few of my sets.  People have already purchased three of my sets.

They are so easy to make.  I've got some with glow in the dark beads that I want to make next.  That would be fun and cute.

The bottle caps are so easy too.  All you get are the bottlecaps, shrink down your pictures, stick on an epoxy sticker and then cut off the edges.  Glue into the bottlecap and pick out a necklace for it.

The most recent drawing for me was drawing out a few rag dolls on cloth.  That was fun, and I still need to finish that project too.  I've got to first finish knitting my skirt.  It's close to being done.
