A Few Changes

Though I've been lacking on updates, it's seems just the opposite in the studio. I just finished my Senior Thesis and Exhibition and I already have new projects lined up. I'm also looking for artists to split a studio with. With graduation ahead there is much to and I'm very excited to get back to work.  This week I am planing the Senior Painting group exhibition, which should be May 18th through the 22nd. Next week I'll be moving out of my studio and hopefully into a larger space. After that I will continue to paint and try to find a more consistent job.

more updates ahead: I'll be posting pictures of my senior thesis exhibition soon.

new hand made necklaces

This week I took a break form making earring and made some new necklaces instead! I haven't put them up on Etsy yet but I probably will in a few days when I get back from my trip to Canada. I wasn't planing on making jewelry this week but then I went into Bead Works!
If you love making jewelry or just working with beads I recommend going to Bead Works on 2nd and South St. Philadelphia PA. I stopped in there yesterday just to look around and I walked out with a handful of cute bone feathers for about 10 bucks! They sell individual beads so you can mix and mach and get exactly what you want. They also sell chain, hooks and everything else you would need to make jewelry.
Here are some photos I took of the necklaces I just made!

Etsy Shop

I finely got my Etsy shop up and running so i can post and sell jewelry and other stuff I've been making. I'm still trying to make it look nicer but sometimes I'm not so computer savey. But for now I put 5 items up and more are on the way. To check out my Etsy shop just click the "Etsy shop online" link to the right.

Fun with feathers

Since I had so much fun last week making earrings and such... I made a few more accessories the other day. This was not originally what I had planed on doing, but after a long day I was in no mind set to paint. Sometimes your brain just needs a break and making crafty things is just the remedy. I also just made myself an Etsy account so I can sell some of these, but I'm still working out the details. I'll let you all know when thats up and running.

A very busy week...

I know it's been a while but trust me it was worth it. Here's what I've been up to...

Sketches and plans for paintings!







Photos from the bike race I did this past weekend...25 miles in 97 degree weather was probably not a good idea. but still I finished 16th out of 45!
After the race...



My biking buddy Mollie


and here are a few earrings I made today!

Coming Soon...

I've been keeping busy lately, working on new drawings and planing some new paintings. I'm trying to get a head start on my senior thesis so when I finely move back into my studio I can get right to work. I would like to at lest be somewhat prepared for this year. I hate to say it but a year moves pretty fast when you have a deadline and I don't want to waste a moment. I'll be posting pictures of a few drawings soon.
