If you’ve bangled one, you’ve bangled ‘em all.

Well, it’s true. I finished these bangles yesterday, they only took about 20 minutes collectively. It was really simple, using a measuring tape (for sewing) measure the width and circumference of the bracelet and base your stitch pattern on that. All you need is a tapestry needle to sew the edges together on the piece. I’m really having a lot of fun with all of the brightly coloured wools I got for christmas :) .

When I laid down (at nearly 5:00 am, I know, I’ve got a west coast sleep pattern in an east coast time zone.) I looked outside and snow! It was pretty while it lasted, when I got up out of bed to have some tea and a cigarette later this morning it was all melted off and the stream was up from the runoff.

I came across some wicked awesome body paintings by Emma Hack. These are fucking amazing. The set that I found are photographs of her wallpaper pieces that -

“merge the human body with the wallpaper designs of Florence Broadhurst. Broadhurst’s lush, organic wallpapers are painted on nude models by Hack, who are then seamlessly inserted into the Broadhurst original. “
These are similar to my friend Michael’s new series that I saw for the first time the other day. What an aesthetically kickass concept. I’m really looking forward to Area Studies this semester, I get to plan the entire course based on my desired outcome of works. It’s really going to help me get my shit together for my exhibit this fall, not to mention that I want to start submitting to juried shows. I haven’t taken any photographs of my girls evolution, they’ve been growing and changing quickly. I have plans for some large paintings done with an airbrush underway. I’d like to start posting sketches soon. Hopefully. *crosses fingers*.

Still working on the ivy cap , it’s coming along wonderfully :-D .
I need to:
- pack
- yell at the entire financial aid office
- work on idea for clay jewelry
I feel kind of gross today, the weather is blah, so I doubt I’ll get anything of worth done aside from a little packing and some knitting. Lazy daze.

LOVE SAM.
