M83- Midnight City

What a great video and song. Makes me want to swipe my papers, books, and computer from my desk (I'm writing an essay), and run around with my friends. "Just Do It", he used to say. 

I Smell Rain

Today I'm writing a paper and am loopy from coffee. Windows open, it's raining and fragrant! It's not exactly early morning right now as Peter, Paul, and Mary are singing, but that doesn't matter. Fun to see this performance... I met Peter Yarrow a few years ago, and when I did he kissed my hand. I don't remember anything after that!

Final Studio Projects

Our final ceramics assignment was to help keep up the wood fire kiln. The first photo shows some classmates with all the pieces that were fired. The last four photos show my stuff. Some were warped by the nature of the wood kiln (clay was thrown too thin) and came out a little wobbly, but I love them for what they are!

For my final metals assignment I made a few pairs of earrings (one pair is red anodized aluminum; another was made from an old bracelet of my mom's; and the third pair is bent aluminum with fake moss and bird nest sticks). I also made a mini earring holder from brass and a necklace (spun wallpaper pieces from an old necklace, also my mom's, that a neighbor of her's had made). The last photo shows me wearing it and how it falls when worn.

For my final painting assignment, I painted a six-piece series that is titled "My brother's room".

This Week

Howdy! Here are a few photos I'd like to share from this fast-moving and fun week of getting work done:

• Day of sitting at the window to finish up my final painting series! 
• Keeping up the wood fire kiln for my ceramics class. Pictured is a wonderful classmate of mine with her face shield. 
• Visited my fort... there I am with it and the mysterious fake rock. The pond in the front yard is filled, so little ducklings and their parents have been swimming about.
• No, no, not the "TRY OUR NEW FIESTA SALSA ARE YOU LOCO" sign, the dog!
• Lollygagging in the car while dad checks out a motorcycle shop.
• Dad and me, heading back to my apartment to cozy in with mom but stopping first to play around with the best silhouette wall on the south-side of town!
