So today is very gray (although it’s supposed to get to 60!) and I have a MIDTERM this afternoon and looking at my notecards is literally making me feel sick I’ve been studying so much, so here’s a little photo inspiration to pump up this day.

I LOVE this so much.

One of my assignments for class is to make a reflective teaching journal to record my experiences teaching in a high school.  I FINALLY got started on it, and modeled it off the heart book that I made a couple weeks ago.

This is the first page, before I put the covers onnn

And then I put a camera on the cover to make it a little more interesting (the class I’m teaching is Digital Photography.)

It’s RIVETING.  Haha.

Omg just a few more days until Spring Break =)  I need it.  And I’m going to Chicago for the St. Patrick’s Day festivitiesss  !!

A made a couple of these artist trading card… art cards, editions, & originals… things (um there should totally only be one name for them) so heeeeere they are!

They were fun to make, and I have about 5 more in progress.  When I open my Etsy shop (I know I know, I keep saying that) then I’ll probably have some of these bad boyz… and I also want to trade them with other artists and have this whole awesome ATC collection of all this crazy art from a bunch of different people.  Mmhmm.

Tomorrow is the last day of Saturday Art School =(   It went by so, so fast.

Have a wooooonderful weekend!

Oh my gosh, how cute are these?!!

They’re coasters from Curbly.  Adorable.  They kind of make me want to turn into a MAJOR art teacher geek and start wearing paint palette earrings or something.  WHICH EXIST!  I just did a search and found these:

Those second ones are so cute and tiny.  They are from this etsy shop which also has this necklace…

!!!

AND I found some edible paint palettes.

Okay these are COOKIES that you can buy on ETSY.  Is it just me or is it crazy that you can buy cookies on etsy?  She actually has a ton of cute cookies in her shop, if you want to check them out.

Okay, whoa, I’m done with the paint palettes now.  Promise.  (Unless, you know, you find something cool that is paint palette related and want to share =) !)

Last post of February !  Yes, some of my posts were a little late, but I do have a post for each and every day in February plus some (I think I have 30 posts for the 28 days.)  I’m as shocked as all of you, believe me.

In celebration of my accomplishment of posting every day, here are some beaauuutiful photos for you to enjoy =)

Stamp making, round two:

original drawing -> stamp -> print

This is the example I made in front of the class, to demonstrate to them how to do it.  It’s crazy how quick they can be, and I have soo many other ideas of what to make.  I’m not 100% thrilled with this one but I like it and it worked well as a teaching tool.

Remember the millions of things I said I needed to do this weekend?  Yup, working on it.  So many ideas/too little time/too much homework.  For realz.

Finally, here are my cameras… a brownie, dslr, a film point & shoot (I think my first camera?!), fish eye, canon powershot, fuji instax, a (much) newer version of the canon powershot, and a mini diana.  I realllllly want a twin lens reflex too… what cameras do you have/want?

These are the two that I use the most:

And I have another brownie also, a different version from the one pictured.  I love cameras ♥

Two more days left until I’ve posted every day in February… I think maybe I’ll continue?!  =)

I have so many ideas and I keep starting each and then not finishing ANY.  So here is a quick post just to say what you can expect soon =)  Pictures of my camera collection (finally, I know) and hopefully a painting this weekend?!  we’ll see on that one, umm… oh yeah and I am planning on working on my hollowed altered book a little bit.  Hopefully.

I’m also really excited about teaching my students to make stamps tomorrow !!  And maybe I will make an ACEO/ATC… okay I might (definitely) be overestimating myself here, since I have a ton of papers to write, but I’m going to try.  Oh yeah and I need to work on a “reflective journal” for an assignment for class and also, you know, clean my room.

And yes, I know, I am adorable  =)  hahaha.  OKAY time to get to work, I hope you all have the most amazing weekend ever, and if you have tons of snow I am REALLY sorry and just remember that it’s almost March which means it’s almost April which means… it’s basically July.  Right?

Warm weather, I need you.
