"force friday" festivities

Hey there!

Today I have a few fun Star Wars things to share with you. The internet informs me that today is #forcefriday, so what better time to post a little fanart? 

My brothers and I had some of our friends over for a Star Wars party today-partly because our marching band is playing the main title theme for our showcase and that got me thinking about it, and partly because any time is a good time for Star Wars! Pinterest inspired me to make some fun themed name cards for the food. And then I had the idea to do a few drawings for the labels, so here we are. Not all of these are exactly top-quality, being something of a last minute improvisation, but they were a blast to make and I feel good about counting them as one of my September COMPLETED projects (I'll talk more about why I am tracking projects and other related things in my next post). 

(these were grapes on kabob skewers)

Sorry that this is sideways! Technical difficulties. . .  but this was apple cider, for no reason other than that we wanted to have some.

I know this isn't art (or is it? at what level do puns become art? or does art devolve into puns? is there a distinction? if a tree falls in the forest on the moon of Endor when no Ewoks are around, does it make a sound? okay, I'm done.) But I had to share it :)

Say what you will about the quality of the prequels (I have my own issues with them, believe me), but I do really love the costume design, especially Padme's outfits. Those snood things she wears were difficult to paint, but I think they turned out okay.

And here's the rebel alliance symbol. 

There you have it! Have a lovely day. . . and may the Force be with you! ;)
