Cake Decorating Graduation

This is my cake decorating final. No we weren't graded but judging from the misplaced flowers i'd say i get a B. It was oh so delicious though with it's strawberry/cream cheese filling and vanilla buttercream frosting. mmm. I'm so glad i took this class so i can learn to be really creative with my cakes.....and i'm taking the fondant and gum paste class in the fall so i can someday be the ace of cakes. :) Ha. Oh... and my computer works now so... i'll try and post more than never.

A very sad computer day.

Welp... it happened. Our home computer eventually slowed to a complete stop. Enos and i didn't know that the "new" hard drive put into his computer a few years ago by a friend actually had spyware on it that ate at windows making his computer progressively slower until a couple of days ago it just STOPPED. so i'm stuck without a computer at home which means no new posts for a while. I know, i've done this before WITHOUT my computer being lifeless... but at least this time my excuse is legitimate. :) Until then...

The Palm Tree Experience

Sooo... i made this cake for my cake decorating class... and it looks like this.... it was REALLY delicious. I used a cinnamon swirl cake mix that was really moist and tasted just like a cinnamon roll. DELICIOUS... the design was okay... i had too many greens going on because basically i was trying to finish it really fast so my guests could eat it. I don't think you can tell here but i did stars for the leaves and coconuts (which don't really show up) but yeah... i had carpal tunnel afterwards...ha. :)

Point and click Heinzen clan

Hello family and friends... here are some pictures we snapped of the good ol' family today. Doesn't geoffrey look so precious? i know. enos and i don't look half bad either. later!!! love you all!!

The last time i saw my friend...

So... it's been about what... 5 or 6 weeks since i've seen my friend janae... not as a dead baby oven zombie that is... it made me think... hmm... when was the last time i remember her not being that way..... well... here it is. how sad.

Hideousness in the Years of Yore

This is a hideous picture of enos and i.... it's from last summer. I can honestly say i think we've improved in our looks and spiritually too... but mostly physically... i'll post to show our progress... as far as blogging goes.... I just wanted to let everyone know that i'll be posting toMORROW. i was too busy and tired and SICK... yes... SICK... to post something tonight.... But be warned... i come baring puppies... in comic form. Indeed... i know... that was stupid. I'm off to bed now.

A new postest with the mostest.

yes indeed. i know i've fooled you in the past but this time i mean it... im updating my blog at LEAST once a week for now on. What brought this renewed dedication you ask? An angry sister. that's all i'll say for now. enjoy these work sketches. Oh! and i apologize for the quality of the scans... i didn't have a whole lot of time to make these pretty. forgive me.

What's this? I new post? i've never seen this on Lindsay's Blog

Here are some quick drawings i did for my nephews. I know i know...i lied about posting... i'm trying to get better. Please keep checking... i promise i'll post new stuff soon!!!! :)

What's this? i have a blog?

okay okay... so i've been on hiatus....but i'm back now and im gonna change the format of this blog a little. I'm gonna give myself assignments but i need ideas for things to draw. These will just be sketchy fun drawings... nothing too finished. PS. i got a new job so i've actually been busy as opposed to where i USED to work. okay enough of that... i'll be making my first new post this weekend... that's right.... you won't have to look at those bloody mermaids anymore and long to kill me in your sleep, anymore.... all new drawings will be spewing out, all over the place!!! (that sounds wrong.) until then......

Three Little Mermaids...

Wow... it's really hard for me to draw mermaids without someone saying.. "she looks like ariel!" i think i accomplished it though... this is a christmas present for my niece who LOVES mermaids.

Little Creatures for the Christmas Tree

These are some little monsters i made for our Christmas tree this year.... i liked Cali Rezo's creatures and took a go at it... im no sewer but i think they turned out pretty fun... i'm gonna make more. ha.

A few treats....

Okay, i don't know why i did this christmas card... i was just bored and began making shapes in photoshop which turned into this. Also, here are two more drawings... i suck at painting...so... take these what they are worth... i'll learn to paint someday... it's on the list of things to learn to do... oh... also... i made some strange christmas ornaments for my baby apartment christmas tree...they are based off of a lot of things but mostly cali rezo's dolls and uglydolls.com. I'll post those soon...

Anger

Geoffrey, my cat and i had a fight. I gained perspective after i drew this.

a bunch of random stuff

i more than welcome any critiques or suggestions. Feel free to leave them...

Frankenstein Sketches

The beauty of white trash

Whenever i see pictures like this... i can't fathom that these people actual exist. It's like the feeling you get when you see african tribal people, you think, "how can people still function like this.." but such is the white trash breed of humans. I was inspired TWICE by the same picture to interpret this picture and so i did. I'm not finished but i did want to post these since i promised my sister i would. I'll update them as i go along. okay. I guess that's it.

a change of pace

i don't think i'll post as much as i used to. it makes me get blogger anxiety. i'll still post but probably only once every few drawings.

Raymond's Birthday

This is a card i did for my friend's son who was having a birthday. It was really fun to do because i've never done this style before AND im not really familiar with painter 8 so this helped me a little bit. i've blurred out the address under WHERE and the rsvp phone number for privacy reasons obviously. I feel like it probably needs some color correction because it looks blown out on the computer screen I'M viewing it on but on my laptop (where i made it) it looked fine so... i guess it's up to the mamama.

Two happy campers...two pairs, i mean.

Me and Enos... campin' it out, yo with our friends Andrew and Janae. Drawings are on their way. later!
