So since the semester has started I've been really sad that I'm not taking printmaking right now. It interfered with all the classes that I HAD TO take so I've been trying to think of ways to stay involved... DUH go to open lab and just work on projects! The creative energy in the print lab is so brilliant and talking with my fellow printmakers is so fun and inspiring! Just giving myself a chunk of time when all I can do is something printmaking related makes me so artistically productive. When I'm at my house I'm always working on a zillion things at once and so I have all these works in progress just waiting for their time to come alive. In art history today, Larson was talking about Da Vinchi and how he had so many ideas and not enough time to complete them, so there are all these brilliant sketches and works in progress of his that never amounted to anything... That's how I feel/ what I'm terrified of. I have so much inspiration stored in my mind, notebooks and sketchbooks that I'm afraid I won't have the opportunity to execute them all. I wish I could be one of those "big idea artists" like Koonz or Hirst and have a workshop with people executing my ideas for me... but I think half the fun is in the craft. N E WAY...
So here's some photos of the things I mentioned last time:

feather earrings
headband/necklace
my pet purse!
jersey fringey scarf
hey, I can do that too! This scarf was inspired by this one one Etsy (see below)
I guess side by side they don't look very similar but I used the same technique and type of fabric
Tune in next time for some prints and more! I found a bunch of great wood and so hopefully I will be cranking out woodcuts like nobody's business. I want to make a an awesome book like Evelyn's. Tonight I shall carve... after I finish my periodical report.
Cheers!
