My New Toy!

I just bought a saw and besides my staple gun it is my favorite toy. Isn't she pretty...Well I used my saw to make some frames for my little collages. I just used wood molding I bought from my local hardware store and it was the perfect size. Here is what the finished project looks like.

Our cat Sushi!

Sushi is a new member of our family. I made him for Ryan. I'm hoping we can get a real one soon.

Im not so good at updating...

but I'm working on it. A few people have told me recently that I should really post some more so I thought I would. My life has been a little crazy since graduating. It was a little hard finishing school and trying to find ways to work on my art and then to add to that planning a wedding but since then my life has really calmed down. I just started to use the printmaking lab up at BYU-Idaho again so I can try and make some more monotypes. I also have a new goal of doing one little 5x7 collage a week. These are the ones from the last two weeks. I bought some bees wax and tried experimenting with that and melting crayons for the second one.

BFA Show

The 27th of June was the opening night for the BFA. It was really great to get to talk with people about my work and see it hung in the gallery. I was really thankful I got a great spot to show my work which was right when you go through the doors of the Spori gallery.

This was the piece that got the most compliments. Her name is Betty. It was one of the first monotypes I printed in this edition and originally it wasn't one of my favorites but I'm beginning to see why people like it. It doesn't have as many colors as the rest of the edition but maybe that is why it stands out.

BFA

I'm almost done! The show starts this week on the 26th and will be going on until graduation which is the 18th of July. Also there will be an open house on Friday the 27th which should be allot of fun.


I have 12 in the BFA show. They are all monotypes printed on fabric and then mounted on 20x28 wood panels.

For my mom.

I just finished making my mom a little case for her mac book yesterday. Shes a brave middle school teacher and uses it for work so I figured she needed something cute to take it to school in. I'm in love with the fabric and I hope she likes it too!

Almost done...

I finished my BFA final project on Friday and I am excited to have it all done. I decided that since the work was on fabric that instead of signing the work with pen that I would hand embroider my initials on the side of each pannel. I took them to get photographed and when they were sitting in my car I thought they looked pretty cool on there side so I took this. When I get those pictures from the photographer ill have to post a few. Now all I have left is to work on my artist statement... Yikes!
