A Little Apron Action

A sneak peak at my Apron Show entry.

I plan to have some big fun with these little aprons in the weeks to come.

How would you wear an itsy bitsy teeny weeny apron with extra long white strings?

Things That are More Interesting than the Internet, Part 2

Inspired by Laura, who endlessly inspires me. :)

It's been awhile since I've blogged. This is because, like Laura, I've been preoccupied with things that are more interesting than the internet.

Such as...

...a childhood dream coming true...

...staring contests with goats...



...buckwild dance parties...



...being a tourist...


...making art...



...seeing old friends...



...making new friends...







...standing on top of the world...




...and getting home and having a photo exhibit at the best coffee shop in town.


(it's Fifth & Elm in Calumet, of course)

To be honest, friends, sometimes I wonder how it's possible to sit at a desk at all.

And yet, here we are. :)

     So, I made some stuff and here it is.  

     My dad found a bird skull at the mine.  He says it's probably a raven, as they are all over the place there.  I silver-leafed it, and am trying to find a way to mount it.  

     I've been reminded recently of a word I had forgotten, that is, virago.  According to the wikipedia, it means, "a strong, brave, warlike woman."  Oftentimes, it is used in a derogatory way, meaning, "a noisy, quarrelsome woman."  Personally, I rather like the first definition better.  I've been thinking about this word, and this head is the first virago I've made.

     Everyone has a true voice, and for some people it's not their voice at all.  The things I create are more me than me, I think.

falling victim to fear culture

     I've been trying not to freak out over this swine flu deal, but sometimes it's hard when every time I log out of my email there's another story about it.  As a result, rather than finish my homework, I was compelled to create this image today.  I really don't feel that fatalistic about it, but I guess I needed to take some time out and react.  I hope this doesn't mean I'm contributing to people's anxiety.
