February

Okay so here’s what’s gonna happen: I am blogging every day in February.  EVERYDAY.  (Yeah yeah, I chose the shortest month, so what?)  So get ready to party.
I’m teaching a visual journaling and bookmaking class for the next several weeks, and the picture above is of the sample book I’m working on and I’m going [...]

Inspiration Station #2

-The top left is an image by Holli Conger, who does children’s illustrations and has a bunch of other creative endeavors going on (check out her blog here).  Her stuff is adorable aaand I love it.
-The images in the top right corner and the lower left are by an artist named Stephanie Corfee.  Her work [...]

Collage

I have folders and folders on my computer of random pictures I’ve found online and saved… they’re all really random and I have absolutely no idea where I found any of them (which is why there’s no credit… if you know, let me know!)  They’ve just been sitting in these folders since I found them, [...]

Hello Grad School

I started grad school last week.
I know.. when did that happen?!  It was the biggest, most spontaneous decision EVER.  I was innocently googling teaching requirements Wednesday, which led to an advising appointment on Thursday just to get some questions answered and maybe consider applying to start in the spring, and the next day I was [...]

birthday collage and cake

This cake actually ended up being a lot better than I expected… yummy.
And here are some detail shots of the collage I made for my boyfriend for his birthday:
You like??  I’m a little too shy to post a picture of the entire thing.  It’s sweet/mushy soo… little snippets will have to do.  I like the [...]

PAINT and top secret missions

For some reason I can’t upload pictures from my camera to my computer… not good.  So photobooth will just have to do for now!  I’m getting a little more into painting lately and here’s something I did the other day.  I think it feels a little angry.  I did a bigger one that I like [...]

Stomach Series

This is an ongoing series that began in the spring of 2007 with the above photograph.  It was taken for an assignment in my introduction to photography class that was about portraits, self-portraits, and the body.  Later that semester I decided to draw the photograph for my (introductory) drawing class.
In November/December 2008 I made a [...]

Shoes, Dinner, and Reality TV Shows

This is definitely not a fashion blog, but I LOVE these shoes from Jane at Sea of Shoes:
I want them.
Last night this boy made me dinner… crab cakes and pasta with alfredo, yummy

It was delicious, no matter what HE says.
My computer is still hurting pretty bad.  I took it to the SHADIEST repair place, and [...]

Flowerpot Camera

Photojojo has posted a tutorial on how to turn an old broken camera into a flowerpot.  I have a couple cameras hanging around that don’t work anymore but I don’t think I could ever do this to any of them… I like them as they are.  Still, I thought it was an interesting idea!  What [...]

Day 30!!!

For my LAST project (I know… I can’t believe I finished either!) I made a little book of ALL of the projects I did.  I didn’t want to photograph each page though… you’ve already seen the pictures… so instead I compiled all 30 images into a little collage.
I seriously cannot believe I did it, every [...]
