Handmade Observations

Photography, drawings and other stuff from my daily life.

[Image description: Crayon drawing in strong colors. A green haired person in blue striped shirt and red pants catches a ball. The background consists of sky and grass, both are depicted in bold strokes. The sky is a mix of pink, orange and blue, the lawn in different tones of green.)

Doing a 30 days drawing challenge. 1st: Drawing myself. The inspiration for this came from throwing a cricket ball around with @thecuddlymountainseeker in Scotland. :3

Linework for a picture of Blake Brockington - made with this photo. I hope my art teacher lets me paint this...

[Image Description: Hand drawn graphic explaining the electronic charges inside and outside of an axon.] Second studyblr post. This one isn't AS pretty as the DNA model though. *shrugs*

[Image description: Two photos showing flat grass landscapes under a completely blue sky, the grass has a golden tint. The horizon divides both images in half. First photo: a diagonal formed by widely spaced fence posts and yellow, gold and brown gras runs towards the right side of the picture and gets closer to the horizon. On the horizon itself there are two groups of small distant houses, one close to the left edge, one a bit right to the middle.

Second photo: A diagonal ditch runs close to the bottom edge of the pic. Parallel to the horizon and close to the middle of the photo there’s a line of yellow gras, followed by a strip of brown mud with a very thin band of sand on the left side. Behind those, there’s a strip of water that fades into the sky.]

Hallig Hooge 3 - The afternoon hours were pretty pretty. :P

[Image description: All four photos show hands holding sea animals. First photo: Pinky-sized green-yellowish fish with brown dots. Second photo: Palm-sized yellow or orange crab facing the viewer belly first. Third photo: pale, upside down starfish. Forth photo: grey, black and white ring-finger-sized fish. Its mouth is open and its eye is looking towards the right side of the frame.]

Hallig Hooge 2 - Some fish we caught on a fishing trip with my bio class. They were kept in a container of water and released back into the wild once we finished examining them. Some other fish did die though... :/ We also caught a ton of little shrimps, which we had for dinner later that day. Very yummy - I made an exception as a vegetarian since I knew where and how they had been caught.

[Image Description: First photo shows a distant red fisher boat sailing towards the right side of the frame followed by a swarm of birds. The sea is tame and the sky is cloudy. A flat line of land with a few houses can be made out on the horizon in the back.

Second Photo: Green-blue fisher boat in front view sailing towards the viewer’s left, relatively big. There’s a broad beam extending to both cites of the boat holding the nets, which itself is held by various ropes.]

Hallig Hooge 1 - These photos are from a biology class trip in October.

Another assignment - this time for a class I’ve finished since, evolution. The text is a quote from “The Immense Journey“ by Loren Eiseley. I added the cursive part:

“Like the Wistaria on the garden wall he is rooted in his particular century. Out of it - forward or backward - he cannot run. Therefore what he discovers is bound to what he and his contemporaries believe to be true. As he stands on his circumscribed pinpoint of time, his sight for the past is growing longer, and even the shadowy outlines of the galactic future are growing clearer. Along the dimension of time, man, like the rooted vine in space, may never pass in person. Considering the innumerable devices by which the mindless root has evaded the limitations of its own stability, however, it may well be that man is slowly achieving powers over a new dimension - a dimension capable of presenting him with a wisdom he has barely begun to discern. We have joined the caravan, you might say, at a certain point; we will travel as far as we can, but we cannot in one lifetime see all that we would like to see or learn all that we hunger to know.” (The Slit, p.11-12)
