New Material



THE BLUEBIRD OF HAPPINESS
"The Forager"
(Denim*, [Black Plastic Sheeting], Thread, Words**)

Using scraps from one of my mentors, Emily Kane, I made a small sack. Then, with black packing material for bags from the [bookstore] I made a proper sized Forager. I also started taking pictures with Instagram so I can have images up toutes suite...

D Bag (4) - Clocking In

after reading an etsy article i started clocking in my hours so i know what to charge

used forager 3 to bring beer to marshall's party. he had some bands over playing and a small crowd.

[video]
Interviewed this girl with a good story for bifocal

on my way home saw nate's drawings tacked up


and a beer bottle coming out of the sidewalk

focusing on three materials 1. denim 2. plastic sheeting 3. recordcovers [and 4. lampshade]

did math and realized brother's birthday coming up is his 40th. wanted to do something and have it there on time and pressed for time been trying to combine activities so made card with students for warm up. wanted "40 of something" student had idea for holy cows (as in "holy cow you're 40!") so we made forty holy cows

came home and fixed sewing machine

had set it down on something high when i was moving things around then knocked it over and broke the bulb. it looked sturdy and well built inside.

i screwed a bulb i got at the dollar store and it worked

i made another bag. like last night. trying some things different. the straps were different lengths so i cut one to use to wrap around the top to seal the bag. when you're not using it you can tie a knot (or bow) at the top

i like the colors. this darker denim

it hangs nice. i was feeling a certain size for the bag. and the length of the strap; picturing women wearing it

they get anthropomorphic. this one seems like it's dancing. the tango maybe
