Merry Christmas!

School has officially started! It feels so good to be back in DAAP. I'm headed into my final year and I have mixed feelings about it. I'm so excited that I'm almost done, but I'm also worried about how I'm going to squeeze in these last requirements. I may end up taking one or two summer classes. : ( But that's life. Matthew 6:34 says "Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Let the day's own trouble be sufficient for the day"

Here's the eiffel tower I finished!

And The letters I made for me and my roommates. Mine's the black and pink one to match the black and white theme of my room.

I may be a little ambitious, but here's my plan for the weekend!

I know it's taking me forever to get my craft pictures up but know that they are on the way! My camera is in a box somewhere still being unpacked.

I finished my eiffel tower! It turned out amazing! I'll post pictures as soon as I get it assembled into the frame. I've also been working on some letters to hang on my door and for my roommates to hang on their doors that are our initials. : ) Here's a picture of those (unfinished) and a little cute painting I did for my wall since my new room is going to be a vintage paris theme. The black S is mine and I added hot pink buttons and little black and white lace trim. The stripped S is my roomate Sarah Starcher and hers is going to have purple buttons and the B is my second roommate Bryttany's and it is not teal with yellow buttons.

So I'm making some crafts for my new house that I'm moving into on Saturday. Here is one project idea I'm working on right now.

except I'm doing the eiffel tower in a picture frame. : )

That site (Jars of Cute) has wonderful craft ideas and small things you can buy.


I'm also thinking about enhancing my boring Christmas lights with these:

Summer has been treating me pretty well. I've been trying to stay busy and stuff and so far it's working! I'm leaving for camp next week!

Sorry it's been so long, I had surgery recently and I'm still recovering.

So, now that my junior year is over (yay Seniors!) I've got the whole summer off to make art. Maybe. haha Usually by the time I get to summer, I'm pretty burnt out, especially after getting final grades. I've been thinking about continuing the people-eating tree series this summer, I just need to find small canvases. It gives me a great opportunity to work on my craft. I love my little trees,but I'm not all that great at painting. I'm also thinking about the message they send. As a series, they make sense, but individually, they don't. So I need to work on having one clear message in each painting that can tie the series together. So I think that I'll stick with my theme of recycling trees who eat people who don't recycle!

This is a sculpture I just did that's a giant heart supporting tiny babies in jars to they can survive after being unwanted (abortion). The heart is metal wrapped in silk and the babies were molded with cast-able plastic.

Here's some photo I jsut did on a study of human scars ad how they can be viewed as portraits.

Hey guys. I'll be posting new pictures soon of an instillation sculpture I'm setting up tomorrow! Check back soon!

More shots from Costa Rica. I went in July of 08.

Here's some pics from Costa Rica!

Here's some paintings I did of trees eating people.

Sophomore review was hard. It makes me want to take a break from art and re-evaluate.

I'm sick of hearing about swine flu. I think piggies are cute. : )

Sister had her prom today. Crankin out the photography. : )

In preparation for Mother's Day, I'm going shopping this morning with my dad and my sister. Hopefully we'll stop by the coffeehouse too! I love going there every Saturday.

Sweet collages. I think I really like collaging!

Here's some photo work I've done in the last year.
