It took me a while, but I made up a big box of clean fabric, cones of cotton for weaving and Paterna yarn that can be used for weaving or tapestry. It's amazing how much stuff can be stuffed in a closet and it took some time to untangle skeins of yarn. I was a baaaaad fibre student ;-D ( Read more... )

My post-grad clean-up continues and I'm doing a ridiculous amount of recycling as I decided what to keep and what to do toss. Every scrap needs to be considered--and in my case, I often reused old office paper ( Read more... )

It’s funny how much is leftover to completing a degree. It’s not just the last day of classes, but everything afterwards, like downloading all your docs before you lose email access, writing thank you cards (before too much time passes to send one!), and grad photos ( Read more... )

My overall GPA is 3.58 (darn those two drawing classes that netted me Cs!)

This semester my GPA was 3.74.

Tuesday's class--> B+
Wednesday's class--> A
Thursday's class--> A

Just to limp across the finish line now :-D

For my final Tuesday class project, I did a small installation with a photograph. I would have liked to print the photography larger than 9x12, but it was the largest size guaranteed by the photo lab for next day printing. Ah, art students! Some things never change no matter how old a student you are ;-D

It is titled Time to Bloom and it inspired ( Read more... )

I can’t believe I’m in my last couple of weeks of classes. It seemed like I had all the time in the world in January and felt stressed about all the things I had to accomplish in three and a half months. Now my grad photo haircut is booked (along with an eyebrow waxing-let’s face it, it’s been a loooooong pandemic ( Read more... )

What's Project 3 for Thursday's class going to be? I don't quite know yet, but I know it will involved this tote filled with toilet paper and paper towel rolls. Is TP truly not the symbol of the pandemic and self-isolation?
