Arrowmont Recap Pt. 2

Just a few more shots from Arrowmont. It's beginning to feel like forever ago that I was there. I find myself missing it, and wanting to go back.

Goals

I can't believe how fast the summer is flying by! If I'm being myself in my usual mode of being, of course I haven't accomplished enough this summer. If I'm being more realistic though, I think I've done ok. Here are my goals for the rest of the rapidly ending summer. I think they're pretty realistic.

- finish Italy rosaries
- finish reading the Bhagavad Gita and The Power of Myth
- start reading the Upanishads
- make ten brooches for a swap arranged by Loring Taoka
- deal with the dead anodes in the electroformer
- make first thesis piece

Of course, there's a ton of other things I should do, and there's a ton of other little things I will do before school starts, but these are the main goals.

Happy Weekend!

Blog Break

Sorry it's been awhile. My blogging and internet usage in general tends to drop off during the summer. I sometimes even go days with out checking my email. I'm leaving for the beach for a week today and decided not to take my computer.

The last few weeks have been light on studio work (except for the week everyone else was at SNAG. I swear I'll post those G-Vegas pin swap pins later.) I've been working on my collaboration piece(s), but they're not worth writing about at this point. One looks like a complete piece of poop and I won't be using it. Other than that, there's not much to write about. A little sketching, a trip home on an airplane (I hadn't flown in years), tidying up the apartment and searching for a particular type of vellum which apparently no one carries. It's not like I'm looking for uber fancy Italian vellum or anything fancy, I just want a pad of Canson vellum. I'm also out of Sunprints paper, so I think an order or two will have to be placed when I get back from the beach next week.

I hope everyone has been to busy enjoying their summer to much miss my more regular blogging!

Summertime!

Well, in case you haven't noticed, I haven't blogged in over a week. I finished up the semester a week ago and have just been relaxing, cleaning my apartment, note card making and tying up a few loose ends. Eventually I'll get motivated enough to post the work I presented at my end of semester crit. But for now, here's two note card sets I just added to the shop:





Next up, gift tags!
