| I Love the colors! Least favorite- Took me too long
My mom likes the color purple.
I would some yellow to it if I had to do it again.
I learned how to weave.
After weaving the bottom I included braiding for the strap.
written by Autumn3739 | | My favorite part of this artwork is the way the colors seem to be brighter with the black around it. My inspiration is Ms.Simon, she comes up with all of the ideas for artwork I do. I would probably change everything. Nothing wrong with a creative mind, right? I was surprised at how the colors jump out at you.written by Colin2256 | | My favorite part of this artwork is probably the sad creeper even though it isn't drawn very well. If I were to have this project again I would probably make my plate bigger so I can fit more things on it I also might choose a different topic to base the pictures on. I was surprised about how well the green and blue go against red. I had no inspiration for the project itself (beside Miss Simon) but the picture inspiration came from Minecraft.
