Slightly More Complete

First things first. My incomplete in Jewelry & Small Metals from last semester is starting to turn around! I still need to polish and patina my piece, but soon it will be turned in and I will get a grade!

Watch how I build!

practicing textures so I don't eff everything up...


texture success!


this is where the magic happens


got the first triangle to stay! solder success!


pickle tiiime


pickle success! now to only get it to remain that color...


the second triangle, hoping that it will not fall off when I remove my pins...


and I got them all to stay in place! so to pickle and polish and patina and all that jazz...


also my box made it onto school tv!


So next Monday marks the last day of classes. I've already finished one class, now I just have 3 more!

Just today I turned in my photography project [already in my gallery] and it went pretty well. We also had to write and artist statement to go with it. For some reason it's really hard to keep my artist statements short. I guess I love talking about myself too much...

Anyway, so now I just need to finish my final Typography project (due on Monday), take my Tuesday Art History exam, and take my marketing exam online sometime next week. I'm aiming towards Wednesday...


I don't even see this as the end of the semester. I've been looking at everything day by day, that I haven't really taken into account that I only have 3 days left!

Crazy crazy.

I am, however, definitely looking forward to doing awesome crafts during the summer! I have a lot of unfinished projects that really need to be finished...

So Close!

Alright where was I last time... My last photography project and not quite finishing my typography book...

Wellll I've started the very last photography project, and there was one more in between this one and the one in my other post.

That one was called Appropriations. Copying a style of art or the work of a certain artist. I found Laszlo Moholy-Nagy's artwork, and I copied a few of them, and got creative with a few others. They came out pretty neat actually.



I finished my Typography book (and got a pretty good grade on it too!) and submitting my portfolio to get into my concentration was successful seeing as how I got in! The book isn't in my gallery yet, but it will be at some point. Actually, I should work on that.


I'm pretty pumped because I only have 1 project / exam left in each of my classes! Plus my incomplete metals class, but once I actually sit down and start working on it, it should go fairly quickly.


I'm really excited about my next photography project, actually. It's called "Sense of Place," and since I'm moving into my first apartment this weekend I figured that that would be the perfect subject! Pretty good timing. :D


The next few semesters--once this one is done--are going to be pretty awesome I think. I got a few digital art-related classes and some marketing classes and some art history classes. I'm hoping that with the few breaks that I get between semesters and maymesters that I can finish all of the sewing projects I've started. I really need that new purse...

Also the next few months are all about web development skills. I found a cool site that walks you through javascript, and it's pretty easy to handle so far, but I want all of the web dev skills!


So that's basically it so far. As far as a quick overview goes. I bet if I posted more often I could go into more details... Hmm...
