Happy (early) Valentine's Day!

Here is my latest project from school. The topic was "Dia de los enamorados" or, Valentine's Day. I had to come up with a variety of ideas, and from there select six, and then narrow it down to one to make in the studio class. Here are the six options, and a professional photo of the final piece!

Alternative Methods

These are from my Volume class-where we make jewelry out of everything except what you would expect. Including lettuce...project runway style!

First Semester

It's been a long time since I last wrote, but here's what I've been up to in the last couple months...

These are the pieces I made in my studio class. Nothing too impressive yet, but gotta start somewhere..

After months of sawing and filing my hand are getting nice and beat up. But through blisters, callouses, cuts, and burns I'm enjoying what I'm doing. That's all you can ask for, right??


Up next: design and create commercial a piece for valentines day and an then an artistic piece about extraterrestrials, hm...
