I have so many artsssss to look at, a lesser but still large number of feedback messages, and a decent amount of notes which I hope weren't urgent.
Most of the art I've been working on has been for school projects, and I feel that I'm suffering because of that. I'm learning quite a bit in my classes, but I need to work on my own art... it keeps away negative things for me. It is nice to have something to pour hurt feelings, anger, and resentment into. Certain things shouldn't be left to fester.
In school, I've been making ceramic fruits. Some are rotten, some are fresh, some have body parts inside. I'm having a hard time getting the glazes and textures to work and look right.
I'm needle-felting anatomical hearts, trying to finish up a sampler, and doing some dyeing projects that are kind of boring but that will become interesting once I start to make the dyed fabric into things. I'm learning various 3D constructing techniques, and learning that I'm not very good and building things that require careful cutting and measuring. But I'm okay with that. My current 3D project is a wire form that will have a paper skin over it, I like it a lot better than my last project.

1. I made myself work on art last weekend, and am pleased to have a picture to post today! I've been busy lately, getting things done that I don't want to do, but that's been mostly unpleasant things not related to art. Having a picture to post is far more satisfying than getting medical insurance crap straightened out.
2. There is a spot on my face, and I am convinced it is cancer. Or waiting to become cancer. Or a generally evil freckle, waiting for an excuse to do something that will result in my whole face having to be removed. It is very inspiring, and I want to draw it.
3. I am taking my science classes finally, and the things I am le
Happy New Year, Peoples.
It's been almost a year since I was on here. It was kind of a crappy year, last year. I hurt my back and it got pretty bad toward the summer, couldn't sleep for more than an hour or two at a stretch because of the pain. That sucked, and even after physical therapy that got rid of the pain I was/ am slightly traumatized from the experience. I had been considering suicide despite not being depressed, and I feel mentally scarred from where my mind was. I feel like I was set back in nearly every aspect of my life.
I think I prefer the feeling of being suicidal when I am depressed, rather than the feeling of wishing to end my life due to poor qu
Heads
In ceramics this semester, we've only had two classes so far, but I've been able to make so many heads. That is my continuing goal; to learn how to properly sculpt human heads. Somehow, I improved a great deal since last semester; although I did not sculpt on the break, I did a lot of drawing and attempting to learn proportions. I also have been reading several books that discuss techniques by other ceramic artists. "The Figure in Clay: Contemporary Sculpting Techniques by Master Artists" has been VERY helpful.
I have six heads so far, varying from life-size to about 7" high, all in various stages of completion. And then our first project w
Art.
For the first time in a long time, I won't be attending school full time while I work full time; financial issues mean I can only take a class or two at a time until I get my probably useless associate's degree. I haven't been able to work on my own art projects in so long, I'm excited and delighted and terrified that I will finally have the time to.
I just went through and finished up some older drawings that I am posting tonight. My scanner is still not that great. Oh well.

Why can't you pour that into your school art?
