Hey grrls! I havent posted here in what seems like my whole life. I've been up to a lot of stuff though. Unfortunately, I only have pictures of a few things right now. Want to see?





I took printmaking this semester; this was my first woodcut ever! I like my little owl.


My second woodcut. The theme was animals, so we had to do them - I did the octopus (which was a linoleum cut), the owl, and this shark - my sub that day was doing critiques, and all she said about this was "you know, sharks are very cliche". ...yes.


I was bored on a Saturday and sat down on my floor and painted Ryutaro (from Plastic Tree - a Japanese Rock band) in about an hour. I have a problem drawing noses too big, I think. Alas.


I recently learned how to crochet! I decided an afghan would be my first project - unfortunately, it took forEVER, and its not even that big! Grr.


Then I decided that a scarf would be my second project. Yay. I recently finished this, its very cozy.

That's it for my crafts, what do you think?

The second half of my post is a question for all you kids out there (I hope this is allowed - it seems like it goes along with this community's vibe). I'm taking an art outreach class this semester, and my professor wants us to do something to get involved with the community. Anyway, I was thinking about doing a guerilla art project around the city - just involving taking a simple message (like "Be Yourself" or something) and spreading it all over - whether through posters, messages left on busses, messages in the sand, even messages in bottles tossed in the ocean!

Then I got to thinking, wouldn't it be fun if, rather than me just doing this alone, some people from other places got involved too?

So I was just wondering if anyone would be interested in participating in a little project like that with me. All you'd have to do is print out a graphic or something (I havent worked out that part yet), put it somewhere in your community, and take a picture!

I'm not even sure if I'm going to be doing this, I was just curious to see if anyone would be even interested in the first place, before I went and proposed it to my professor.

Anywho, thanks for looking/reading this ultra-long entry, and I just want to say that I'm a huge fan of everyone's work! Keep on crafting, grrls!

xposted to a few places, sorry if it ...messes you up or something!
