...Art supplies

an old gift certificate that got me $113.58 of art supplies.

Creation.

I have so many ideas, and so many words.
but they're locked-in inside.



I WILL be. the best.
and nobody can stop me.


Some words are always right.
But I'm looking for those that can't be.


I've been doing lots of sketching lately.

Super Evolution

My recent trip to lansing has caused an uproar in my internal conscience.

the plan:

med school.
doctor.
save enough money for a while.
state rep.

and stay involved in areas of interest that keep me happy and influential.

oh.
and i'm now Amanda, the XC skiier. haha. :)

A change.

It's been forever since i've written on this pathetic blog.
but things have changed so much.
I no longer sleep in the same room, live in the same house, the same town.
It's pretty drastic actually,
but things have been working out for the better.
and slowly i'm making a new way for myself.

I'm waiting for soccer.
And praying for summer and the film festival/cherry festival.

and I really want to go to finland/italy.

Yeah.

...whatEVERRRR

well.
nothing happens lately.
and the soccer team is on hold.
so i've been cooped up.
mostly thinking

...its turned into a development i think
a sort of process of an idea

we'll see where this goes.

Latest Artsy-ness.

So, lets rewind.
Art Class. [Advanced Painting to be precise]
Its a pretty wicked experience.
and mostly i have no idea what i'm doing, but who even cares?
This class introduces all sorts of mediums, most of which i've never touched before.
We've done things like an ink wash, acrylic painting on canvas and on wine bottles, and charcoal portraits.
Currently, we're focusing on Chalk Pastel, a soft pastel that requires only the use of small pieces of chalk and your fingers for blending.
I goofed around a lot in the beginning, just to try out the new tools i was given.
and i proceeded to grab a random National Geographic and rip out a picture.
ha.
and Chicken Woman came to me.
she's going pretty well, but still needs a ton of work.
