Arts & Crafts Workshop #3, Camp Dining Hall, 06.05.06, Afternoon

[OOC: Hey, I finally have a Workshop Info Post!]

"Okay, campers!" Tick said. "This week, we're going to be working on a project with glass that - if you want - you could submit to the Art Fair next week. We will be making faux stained glass today, and if you do it right, it can look downright keen!"

"You each have instruction sheets, a bottle of liquid lead to outline your image on the glass, paint brushes, and paint. Up here at the front table, you can pick up some cleaned and sanded glass and there's a lot of simple pictures from coloring books and clipart for you to use."

"Just remember, after applying the liquid lead, you should give it one to two hours to dry before applying paint. So once you get the liquid lead on there, you should move on to your scrapbooking."

"Speaking of which, last week, you started adding text to your scrapbooks. This week we'll be working on adding even more words, a thousand at a time! That's right, campers! This week we'll be using pictures! But these won't be pictures from magazines. You'll be taking these! After applying the liquid lead to your glass, come up here and take a disposable camera. There are 24 exposures. Try to take 24 pictures of anything you want, even if you have to get a picture of the grass or your hand."

"You can go ahead and wander around for up to two hours after applying your liquid lead. Return here with your cameras, get to work on your painting, and I'll have these developed for next week when you'll be working the pictures into your scrapbooks."

"Let's get to work!"

Play with Liquid Lead! [WS3]

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

Get your glass (Mod shapes/sizes at will, but they're all in frames and will not cut you unless you break them. Please don't break them.), get a picture, and get to work! Liquid lead does not contain actual lead.

Jaye's probably spending more time trying to get the accidental liquid lead spill off the table than she is actually using it. Just because the little table spot bugs her. Also, because she's differently motivated, let's face it.

Flipping through the magazines and colouring books, there's a slight frown on Sakurazaki's face, as she finds absolutely nothing that appeals to her. Not yet. Maybe she just hasn't discovered the right thing yet. She keeps flipping, and kind of scowling at the pages. Where are all the samurai and ninja colouring books?

Tempe picked up a medium-sized rectangular piece of glass and chose a picture out of an egyptian coloring book of some pyramids and a camel (http://touregypt.net/kids/color4.gif).

She began to outline the picture using the liquid lead. It wasn't perfect, but it still looked half-decent.

Luna took an average piece of rectangular glass, and began to immediately apply the liquid lead. Design? She don't need no stinkin' design, it's all in her head!

It's quite possible that everything else is in her head too...

Maia signed in.

After a fair bit of trouble with the liquid lead and getting it all over her hands, Maia started to doodle with it on her piece of glass. Little squiggly lines here and there, the coloring book she had been planning on using laid forgotten next to her.

Kaylee searched through various pictures until she found something that interested her: a picture of a cat. Then she grabbed a piece of medium-sized rectangular glass and got to work.

Hamlet takes his window and starts drawing a picture of a boy stabbing an older man in liquid lead. It wasn't really good from an artistic point of view, but he seemed to get satisfaction out of drawing it.

A little nervous at hearing that the art exhibit would be next week, Seras set to work on her faux stained glass.

She flipped through the colouring books until she found a picture of a sweet looking puppy. With a few deft squeezes of the liquid lead, she turned it into a sweet-looking, six-eyed puppy.

She smiled and added a few liquid lead socks in the background.

Sakura has to laugh at their newest assignment, and she's not entirely sure why although her mun is. She goes about her work with an amused grin, hoping what she has planned turns out okay.

Scrapbooking! [WS3]

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

Take your camera and take pictures! Feel free to make/wander into afternoon posts with your cameras. Just be sure to check OOCly before crashing any posts where you're unsure if this kind of wackiness would be welcome. Feel free to use this thread as a linkdrop for that kind of stuff.

Alternately, feel free to handwave taking pictures out and about in general places.

Re: Scrapbooking! [WS3]

[fates_jaye]

Check it out, no giggle fit this week! Jaye takes a camera and looks thoughtful before raising her hand. "Mr. Professor Dean The Tick?" she asks. "Are you going to actually look at our scrapbooks not dirty?"

Re: Scrapbooking! [WS3]

[fatalvoyage.livejournal.com]

Tempe *handwavily* went out and took pictures of some places around school and town. She'd work on getting pictures of actual people at some other time.

Luna took one of the cameras, promptly back sat down and leaned back so that she was upside down. She then snapped a few pictures, one being of Professor Blue suit and whichever students happened to be near at the time. Or, more precisely, their legs.

Next, she got up and trotted off to finish the roll as she might.

Re: Scrapbooking! [WS3]

Maia took a camera and headed off into the wild blue yonder to see what she could snap.

Re: Scrapbooking! [WS3]

Kaylee grabbed a camera and wandered off in search of shiny things to take pictures of.

Sakurazaki had gone a little crazy (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhighdorms/635379.html) taking pictures through the dorms, very pleased that she managed to get shots of all her good friends and a few others as well. She even got some crazy critters (http://nadiathesaint.livejournal.com/45646.html) in the stairwell, and Tim (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomtownies/884754.html) while he was at work. The rest of the roll will be scenery shots. She filled up the whole camera in no time.

She was beaming.

Hamlet wanders up to his room to snap some pictures of Mr Canute Mimir Fluffypants, and out to the pond to get some shots of the lake (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomtownies/885279.html), and came back with a cup full of coffee.

Seras grabbed a camera and headed off.

She wished she knew a bit more about Fandom.

She supposed she could snap some shots of Galactica Point and label them, "Site of my being fired by my drunken boss".

She also wondered how well Baldrick photographed.

Paint Your Glass! [WS3]

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

You have your image outlined on your glass! Color it!

Re: Paint Your Glass! [WS3]

[fates_jaye]

If you were to look over Jaye's shoulder, you might see that she's gone the simplistic route. The glass is mostly painted blue, though there seem to be white blocks in lines seemingly randomly in the middle of it.

Re: Paint Your Glass! [WS3]

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Sakurazaki uses lots of blues and greens and reds and blacks, but very little white. As little white as possible. But she's very good at painting, using delicate, very Japanese calligraphy style strokes. She likes the painting; it's relaxing, even if the unfinished pieces of glass are currently marked with random Japanese characters.

Talk to Tick [WS3]

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

Stop by and talk to the new Dean of Students!

Re: Talk to Tick [WS3]

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Sakurazaki offers him a bow at the end of class. "Congratulations, Tick-sensei, on your promotion."

Display Your Project [WS3]

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

If you'd like to get crazy with the OCD, please drop a link to a simple picture your worked on here. If you'd like to get REALLY crazy with the OCD, color it, too. Otherwise, just a description of what the window looks like works just fine.

The projects will be drying here overnight.

Re: Display Your Project [WS3]

[fates_jaye]

Jaye shows hers off with a "Tah dah."

OOC [WS3]

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

Here's hoping the picture-taking thing works nicely!

Re: OOC [WS3]

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

It's amazing. I was planning on having Sakurazaki go to town to get a disposable camera today. She's going to be so pleased. :D
