Well, that didn't work.

That has been my saying lately...here is why. You can skip this post if you want. Believe me, it's boring!

One, I tried to write a whole post devoted to my birthday. But my birthday is coming sooner than I thought. It's next week and I still don't have a good enough idea for s post. So, fail on that part. I might have to go into work that day anyway because I forgot to ask for it off. (Yeah, I really like spending my birthday at a burger shack taking orders from people who really should stop eating that kind of food or who are just overly annoying and think they know how to do my job. Oh yea, great birthday party there! *sarcastic voice*)

Two; I've had to deal with some drama that was stupid and immature. I knew I shouldn't get so mad about it but logic of coarse failed me. The more I thought about it the more angry I got. So, I have officially concluded that I am done trying to get along with people in my school. I'll save my energy for my friends that I talk to online and college.

Three; SNOW?! I HAS NONE! D: So much for the storm of the century or something like that. I still got a free snow day. My inspiration came, which was nice, but it only lasted an hour. D:

Four; I should have been in a printmaking class this semester but because of the way my schedule is set up, I can't be in it. Which means I am stuck in a class where me and my art teacher clash. BADLY! So I may ask him if I can do print making during this class, or I may spring a TON of jewelry making projects on him so he doesn't have to tell me what to do. What do you think?

I'm so stuck, but I shall bid you ado for now.

Absent-ish?

So, yeah, it's been boring. Too boring. Projects have been sitting on my desk, my mind is full of ideas but no juice to write, and well...the usual. xD Though I do have to say, I finally found the perfect subjects to write about and I changed the discombobulated color scheme to a nice neon blue and red on black layout, though that may change once I have an idea for a layout that I can design. u-u'

In other news, my birthday is in a couple of weeks.Yippee? I am going to try and hype myself up about it, but no guarentees, but I'll tell you more about it later. xD I am also going to start doing film reviews once I get time to watch a movie.

Just letting you all know I didn't fall off the face of the earth. LOL!

Well, this is all I have for today, I wanted to post what I have been able to do through my art block but I can not for the life of me find the darn cord to get the photos in the computer D:< And with that I bid you ado for the night!

Pack Plate

OHMYGODS this project has defiantly given me a run around. I was told that we needed to do a serving plate for our new project. I decided that I would do a wolf design on the plate. At first, I was going to paint it on, but then my teacher had the idea of carving it out of the plate. It was really friggen hard to do. Personally, I don't know if I like this plate yet. Maybe once it is put into the kiln it will look better. My teacher absolutely despises it (and me.) Here is what it looks like before it goes into the kiln.

I messed up by making it "too deep" and I also messed up when I lightly etched it out. One of the wolves just looked HORRIBLE. Now he looks better, but it is still frustrating.

Well, that's all I have for this post. Ado

Rawr Moments

Good Day Everyone (though no one is even following me yet buuuuuuuut whatever.) I woke up early this morning, which was nice considering I was in a very poor sleep mode. My cat was the one who had the brilliant idea to wake me by jumping up on my desk. I tiredly placed her onto my bed and went about my business. But, why, might I ask, does my lard of a cat hog my bed?

Anywho, I escaped into my room after my brother had a fit because I was sitting in a chair. I am sorry, I did not know your name was written on that chair, midget. So after that rawr moment, I sat down at my desk and started to work on something to calm my nerves - and procrastinate from working on my load of Lit. homework - which just so happened to be a new piece of maille. So, I am sitting at my desk with my favorite tutorial site up and running, trying to figure out what style I want to learn. I have been trying to avoid this one style because of how insanely difficult it is and because of how many times I have tried and failed to do it (I lost track at five). So I found a really pretty one and started to work on it. I messed up so I had to take it all apart and start again. I started it and messed up AGAIN. I threw it on my desk and tapped it once, which is how I usually take out my anger on the little chainmail. After I did, I saw that I had made that all to familiar, evil, and allusive weave. DOOM!!! Leave it to me to try and do one thing, make a mistake, and somehow manage to pull something much harder off. It is not done yet but I think I have figured it out...but grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Once that is done I will be sure to show you all -if anyone is even watching because I am pretty much talking to myself for now- but still. See you all later!
