I finally took the time to make a tiny animated button for my site! I learned a bit about the animation tool in csp and it was easier than expected.
Now with almost everything done and school approaching soon I gotta put my wacom pen down and do a bit of lesson planning. It has been a fun summer doing art fight and finding a passion for my art again, but I am a home school mom and I gotta focus on that for a bit.
I still will be doing small bits of coding and art here and there since my kids do school only 4 days a week but for the most part my focus is going to be there.
It only takes me a couple weeks to lesson plan until christmas break so it shouldnt take me too long!
Be back soon!
I FINALLY GOT JOURNAL ENTRIES UP!!! Now its time to redesign. I have realized I HATE my layout but hey its the first time I ever coded. I absolutely love coding! I want to learn more languages and possibly learn game design. Small games ofc.
As for my design I think I want it to be more mobile friendly. I also want to change the color design. It was cute at first but the more I sat with it the more I hated it. I want the colors to be softer on the eyes, maybe a neutral/pastel combo!!! And could use more decor for sure.
I am going to take more time on the design this time around now that I at least have a site up. Make it feel more like me! DONT FORGET SHRINES!!! I love seeing everyones shrines here! I have a few in mind but they will be a secret for now.
sorry for the short entries latley. Not much going on around here.
Art block has been a bitch lately! I just can't think of anything to draw and even when I pick something to try and recreate just to draw I feel stumped. I have plenty of ideas written on my milanote boards but I can't seem to bring them to life! Does anyone else feel this way right now!
So I am coding today and hopefully all these entries can finally go up!
PS Bevo is doing GREAT! He must have had a bug but he might just make it till I visit at the end of this month!
It has been a very hard week for me, my dog back home is very old and he hasnt been doing well. Last I heard he was still alive but he hasnt been eating and is barely walking. He is a 15-17 year old Basset so I knew his time was coming soon but I was hoping he could hold on until I go visit them later this month.
I cried for a couple days on and off. I just kept getting lost in my head about how I would most likely never see him again. This wasnt good for me whatsoever. I needed to draw so thats what I did, I drew him!
It was so healing to look at pictures of him and see all his goofy memories. He is honestly the best dog I have ever met, so loving and loud! He would give me hugs! He would get on his teeny hind legs and put his front paws on my shoulders, laying his head down. He would get so excited to see me enter my moms house. I was his best friend and he was mine.
He was named after the University of Texas mascot. Not a single family member went to this school but the name was PERFECT for him. He was a burnt orangey color with two little straight markings that resembled long horns
I will never forget him and a shrine for him will be up on my site soon! … Possibly on the same day as the journal entries page goes up by this point lol.
Hai there! I wanted to get better at writing so here we are, a journal. but this time on a public website. This is beyond weird to me because any other journals I have had in the past, they were VERY private and I was a teenager. Now I am a 28 yo woman writing about her life for anyone to see. But with all the websites I have come to love on here the journals were my favorite part about all of them.
What does one write about in an online journal? What should I write about in an online journal? Lately I have been CONSUMED in my art, so I guess we can start there.
I had been talking and talking about wanting to get back into art because its something I really want to be good at and the only way to get better is practice. Then one day while I was scrolling through youtube I saw a title something like, Art Fight is Approaching Soon and I clicked.
I was hooked! I got to work right away and I was all in. I made 6 different characters and then I waited. I had so much fun the first few weeks until burnout hit… yikes! Before it got to the point of no return (art block) I went on another path. neocities!
I wasnt done. I just needed something else to do before I wanted nothing to do with drawing lol. This is so fun, I love it here! I love figuring out code and making the page look EXACTLY how I want, it's ADDICTING! AND its also a cute little place I can store all my little art projects?! SOLD! This is where Do0dle Bear lives on the internet!
