Buisness Cards.

It's Puppy Time!

She's mine now. *BIG SMILE*.

Beginning Business Cards//

To be screenprinted. Gold ink + whatever color paper I feel like.

SIDENOTE: PUPPY IN TWO DAYS!

Brian's Doorframe.

Saturday night we attended the grand opening of a high-end men's accessory store downtown, patrickmartin3, where Brian made a customized doorframe for the store out of some great finds that were part of a few months of never-ending searching (the hubcap on the top is from back home in MI). I'm a pretty proud girlfriend, I'll admit.

Such a great night, getting all dressed up and sipping wine, and meeting some lovely and intellectual people. Made me feel very grown-up.

Thanks to the lovely Jacey, for letting me borrow some pics, as my computer isn't letting me upload. Blah.

THOUGHT BUBBLES//

A drawing I just finished that was inspired by a doodle I did during my Print Paper Book class critique (oops.) It represents "thought bubbles" and how humans communicate. I added the color with acrylic, but I think I'll sell this one at the art show and do another of just black and white.

P.S. Thanks to Brian (ahem *best boyfriend ever*) for the beautiful new camera, so no more crappy photobooth pics. YES.

New Sketchbook.

I can't even remember the last time I bought a sketchbook. I like it like that. I recently promised myself I'd never buy one again. Just make make make.

Golden Trees.

I've spent way too much time in the printshop finishing these things. That's all.

//Photo Etchings//

For my Photo Process in Print class. Preparation took about 8 hours and a lot of waiting, but the final print is very worth it. Expect to see some of these at the MCAD Art Sale in November-I'm going to experiment with screenprinting a color on the car and throw a vintage frame on it.

First Screenprint.

My first screenprint. A quick in-class assignment experimenting with wax paper and layers.

Its actually fluorescent pink and gold, they look a little dull here. Lately I really like using hot pink in my work. Huh.

//CROWS///

Journal project. Linen covers. Wax, beads, fabric, ink, feather.

CANVAS BOOK.

4-5 layers of canvas, paper, various fabric, paint.

New Sketchbook. Woot!

A Prototype. Kinda.

Just a little book experimenting with a certain type of binding, called a piano hinge. I have a lot of ideas for the "real thing". This one is now in the hands of my little sis, being smothered with a 9-year-old's sketchy interpretations of bucking horses and dancing ballerinas. I don't mind it one bit.

(Sorry about the photobooth pics. I'm in need of a ca-mer-ah.)

Finally.

Summer is almost over. Boo. It's been awhile since I updated, but now I FINALLY find some time to post what I've been doing.

Congrats B!

Brian's graduation present. I'm excited to see what amazing things he fills it with.

Check it!

Today the sun is shining. It makes me miss you more than usual.
