if you fall hard, i fall harder

went to baltimore for the weekend with a few people from school for the craft show. it was actually a much more relaxing weekend than i would have had if i'd stayed home, and i got to see some amazing art. plus we hit up a great asian candy store and a great used book store. i must admit however that baltimore, or what i saw of it was... yeah, not my favorite city. i'll try to post some of the artists websites that i loved as soon as i can.

more exciting things coming up: spring break is in a week and i'm bringing blanca and mads home with me. the week after that is major application week so i've got to get my portfolio together!

burning in the eyes of the maker

more pretty things from etsy


i've been doing nothing but making


school has actually been quite wonderful





other things are not quite so black and white, but they are good enough :)
sometimes i feel like i'm living a dream. not one that is perfect, but one that is like a real dream: strange, completely perfect and imperfect at the same time.

i nearly peed myself when i found these patterns

i'm about to go make all of them. and you should to. making things is therapeutic. go here.

i've been getting so excited about making new glass stuff! mads just brought up her torch and kiln and looking at my old glass stuff makes me want to get back into it. mads and i are going to buy soft glass and mandrels so i can make beads and sheet glass so we can make jewelry bars. i can't wait!

plus i am so exciting on what i'm doing in school right now. this is an old clay piece from high school but my latest projects are the same form in glass and metals. i'll post the pictures soon....i'm entering them all in an art show, wish me luck!

dance with me, make me sway

tensions can run high

completely relaxing and messing around is the only way


eating is good

as always, our room is a disasterspace



but we are happy that way


pictures to help me with my support structure project in 3-D

life these days seems to be filled with opposites. i'm learning to enjoy the strangeness.
