Ok....so I decided to embrace Cliche and I'm doing a book about LIES. A weaved book of spiderwebs and lies. If anyone has a lie they want put into my book, please submit one....either here by email, whatever you prefer, the more I have the better.

I took up a collection of lies at work and got some good responses that will make the book....

Anyone have any great ideas they can share with me....

2D Design....

I have my final project assigment....creating an artist book.

I want to make this book, an art piece rather than a conventional book on technique or process, etc....

I want to create my own paper/pages, I want it to be dark and intriguing, not colorful and cheery, or even close to happy...

I...

Hmmmm...... cool idea!
this brings a lot of images to mind.....

dark doesn't have to mean the absence of cheerful colour. There are many artists who use cheerful colours juxtaposed with really dark characters. The Melancholy Tales of Oyster Boy comes to mind.

Then again, if you are really looking at the absence of colour....maybe it's shades of gray in the papers you choose....use only various shades of gray paper only? Maybe you could also use found objects that are only shades of gray as well......

So....what's new, let's see...

I have been having really crazy weird dreams....running from killers---chased by police---having more kids---just bizarre and they leave me feeling very tired, I don't know much about dream analysis, but I don't think these dreams are good?

Took my 20th Century Art History test Monday---I think it went rather well....I think I should have done really good on it, let's hope....

20th Century Art History sounds cool! I like the first quarter of the century myself.

Wow, finally, I am back.
Computer was broken, way too long.

Tried catching up with some "friends" here by reading their sites...can pretty much see that everyone's life semi-sucks like mine. Makes me feel better.

Hair is still short, only now the burgandy washed out, along with the blue violet, so I have a bottle of cherry cola in the bathroom....waiting to remember to steal...

Wished I was done with school.... frown , finished up one degree last spring, moved on to another one now. If I pass...heh.
This is the one I wanted, my BFA--Bachelor of Fine Arts. Then onto either my Master in Art Therapy, or my MFA--Master of Fine Arts.

So...... I am
Taking figure drawing (curses!!!)
2-D Design
20th Century Art History....joy.

I completely understand about the not fitting part......as much as I hate school, I encourage everyone to go....suck it up and get it done....hard to follow my own advice.

This is going to be my last drawing class....I am soooooo changing my emphasis to something else....gawd knows what.

Thinking of ditching class today....
Weather sucks...but it would be a chance to wear this adorable olive green vintage coat I got at a yard sale for $1.50.....
Hmmmm...

Have a wonderful day!!!!!!!!!!

Almost as much as giggling... wink

Ugggh, I hate the beginning of the school year. I don't know if I should just pack up the kids' summer clothes, or leave 'em out cause it's still so flippin' hot. I cleaned out bedrooms and hung up 1/2 the summer clothes, giving the rest away, I guess. Should have a garage sale.

Speaking of....
I found a treasure of a garage sale today...

I wanna see your new hair!

I love garage/yard sales. Sometimes you can get some great things. I never liked having yard sales though. I was always put in charge, and my family members would set the prices on the items they were selling, WAY too high. And because I got to be in charge, I had to deal with the people trying to haggle. it sucked! haha. It is a good way to make some cash though. smile

Ok.....
So here's the deal.

I'm completely swamped with work and side projects of my own. I'm creating some really good pieces outta stuff that I find at garage sales. I'm thinking about putting them on Ebay...I don't know?
At work, we're entering a booth in a "wearable art" fair in Denver in Feb. I'm semi-excited. I personally think we needed to be working on...

I teach art at a treatment facility for troubled young men, ages 10-21. I love my job. I love my boys, (well, most of them) too. Some of them are really good kids, who are really misunderstood.

My heart is broken.

One of my boys from the placement I work at is leaving tomorrow morning. I just left from spending the evening with him. The Man assures me that he'll do fine out there in the real world and I have no doubt that he will. It's just that I will miss him. I know that is selfish but I really don't...
