On my way to the arts center.. in the rain

I think I'm going to bring my computer so I can work on my InDesign homework. Last week I didn't even bring a book and the 2 hours dragged on foooooreeeevvvvveerrrrrrr.

This is what I am wearing today..


I bought this sweet acid wash jacket when I was visiting my fam in VA. My friends said I wouldnt wear acidwash, but yes I am! It reminds me of 1st grade, so that is nice. I took this picture of myself using the remote. The remote is pretty fun to use but I had a hard time fitting in my body, although I started off using the wide angle lens but then that fit in too much and the living room is getting pretty cluttered with all my art junk.

This morning I worked on 2 paintings, but neither one is quite done. I will finish them tonight!

Spiky peanut chair

Another octagonal painting

I finished this painting this morning. I like hardwood floors and checkerboard prints. That is my last octagonal painting- I made 4. I consider them a series- all gold chairs. I like making up stories about my paintings, so this story is that someone made 4 golden peanut chairs and sold them to 4 different people, and I painted where they ended up. All in crazy houses. I'm still working on some rainbow peanut chairs, I like how the "circus" peanut chairs came out, so now I am designing some that could be for nurseries. I am making a rainbow peanut rocking chair painting. Hopefully I will finish that today!

I am confused with adding pictures to blogger, sometimes it works really well and then sometimes it doesnt work at all or takes forever. Anywho, I already put this picture on my flickr site anyway. This is my latest finished painting! I do really like it. I think the peanut shape is really cute. I have 5 more paintings that I am starting today. None of them are peanut shaped but one is like a weird eyeball shape, I am excited about it. I took a picture of them and it's on my flickr site.

Superbowl Sunday..

Today I finished up my new years resolutions by posting to wardrobe remix. I bought that skirt and sweater yesterday! I also bought another skirt and a pair of trouser jeans that have diamonds! I am a sucker for all things sparkly.

New Year Resolutions- update!/happy groundhogs day

I have been doing pretty good with my resolutions! Here is my 1 month, 1 day update..

New Year Resolutions:
Draw more- I have sort of been drawing more, making sketches for paintings and prints.
Start new cardboard canvas painting series (have started sketching ideas!)- 9 done!! And 5 new canvases gessoed tonight.
Start working on small scale sculptures- ok, 2 peanut sculptures done, 5 more lbs of peanuts in the laundry room to go.
Continue with embroidery- I started one more shirt and bought another one, but not much embroidery going on.
Actually open an etsy store and stop being a baby about it- done!! I have listed 4 items so far.

Other potential resolutions:
Contribute to Wardrobe Remix?- tomorrow?
Take better care of hands- use more lotion, stop picking and biting nails- Oddly, I have stopped biting my pointer, middle and ring fingers, but thumb and pinky are short. Last night I slept in moisture gloves with a ton of lotion, so that is helping.
Do more with blog?- I joined the 20something bloggers group, and have been updating a ton! Almost more this month than ever. Although I have had a lot more time on my hands the past few weeks,

Happy Friday!

Today I have just been working on my graphic design class homework- I am beginning to think that InDesign is not that much fun, but we'll see.
I added another print to etsy.. here it is...




I do really like this print, I think it is funny.
Yesterday I applied for my first arts/crafts show. I don't know when I'll find out about it, but I am kind of excited about that possibility.
