I have 3 final exams and the semester is over! While taking a little break from studying I started working on my unfinished drawing (also shown in my last update) on Tegaki again. I still have a little more until it's finished but I really should get back to studying. I guess I'll let it sit for a bit longer before it finally becomes a finished drawing. :)
Whoa long time no update! Finals is coming up and all my final projects/essays are due... which is not the best time to be blogging but oh well. :)
I'm sitting at Panera, sipping my frozen mocha any typing my last essay for my comparative world literature class. I'm hoping I get it done by the time I run out of coffee and scones -____-;;
Enjoy some scribbles that I drew on Te
gaki while I took a break from studying! Drawing is such a good stress reliever ~~<3
Right now I'm doing interviews with my school to see which art programs I can get into. It looks like I can get into painting and sculpture for sure, but I'm not too sure about art education (which is what I was planning on doing for the sake of getting a job OH NO) If worst comes to worst I'll major in painting for my BFA and declare a second major next spring? *sigh* that's so much waiting for me...
To be honest I think I could have gotten into Art ED easy but for some reason I couldn't find the place where they were doing the interview. I wrote down one room number where I was sure it was at but the advisor wasn't in the office and I grabbed the head person of the art foundations from his office to help me look for where the interview was being held and we still couldn't find them. WHAT.
But I only have till tomorrow till the program advisors decide what majors I will be allowed to pursue. OH GOSH I'm nervous.
Other than that the club that I'm in is hosting a Japanese style Hanami picnic this weekend and a Japanese festival the week after that. I'm in charge of bringing some snacks to the picnic and I'm manning the yakisoba stand! Woo!! I'll definitely post pictures for those!
More hemp bracelets. :) This time a simple bangle bracelet
Available in my etsy shop if you're interested.
There's a really sudden heat wave here on campus, I can't believe that it was snowing just a week ago during Spring Break! It's inspired me to make some summery things, and when I think summer I think hemp, leather, and worn metal on the beach. :)
I've gotten back into hemp recently, and I've been making bracelets like crazy for the upcoming summer. I plan to finally re-update my etsy store which I've been... neglecting for quite a while thanks to my schoolwork. Hmm... I wonder what I should make next?
So I thought it was about time that I showed a photo of my board, so here it is! An Earthwing Superglider; it's really solid (well I guess all boards don't flex for me since I'm super lightweight) and I've been practicing on the bike paths around my dorm until I'm comfortable enough to go around campus where there's lots of people and cars. I get a lot of funny looks from passing people but I've only been on the thing 5 times so far and I've never skateboarded/surfed/snowboarded in my entire life. Give me a break!
I've decided to call my board Dubhán (pronounced DUV-an). Yes, I name all my precious things. My white macbook is called Kouki and my black bamboo fun tablet is Takeshi. :) But I've decided to call my board Dubhán after a black horse that appears in the story I am currently writing; stubborn, strong, and hard to tame, but reliable and well-worth the wait once you gain his trust. Let's hope that I can do that soon, it's getting warmer out and I want to take this baby out for a ride!
Hmm, not much updating yet again. I'm finally not sick anymore! All of my free time has been used to go outside and practice longboarding for the last week or so. For some reason I'm not very good at pumping... but I guess I just need practice. I've actually only been outside maybe 4 times with my board, and it's always in the middle of the night where there aren't too many people to bump in to.
In other news, I've been busy making stop motion animations for my art class. Here's one of the finished products! It's hard to draw every panel, I can't imagine having to do all those drawings like in real animations...
