Sketches

Hey, everybody! Thanks for showing up! :) 

Here are a few of my sketches that are even remotely worth while.

Now if you are educated in art, you know how amature these are. Although I do think I show some promise. Let me know what you think! I appreciate any kind of feed back. Keep scrolling for more art and other posts!

The contrast in these pictures has been enhanced so that you can see them better.

Also my scanner kind of sucks. So, sorry about that.

These are just some nice little buildings that I did. Mostly a doodle, but I like them. They are inspired by the song Montezuma by Fleet Foxes

Very first self portrait. It isn't perfect, but I like it. 

 Indian? Cowboy? Whoever's hand it is, I was in the mood for fringe. :) Not the show. The clothing stuff.

Scultpures

 Hello, darlings! Here are some of my sculptures. I made them all in my ceramics class. They are my very first real works, so don't judge any imperfections. They are the best I could do, and I am pretty proud of them. They all have a lot of effort and work put into them, and I hope you enjoy! Thank you so much for reading and coming to see:)

This is a coil pot. If you look really closely, you can see what used to be coils. The glazed I used is Chinese crackle with candy apple stripes.

This is a fully functional teapot, made in the shape of an elephant. The "body" is a pinch pot. The lid is slab, as well and the "nose" and "ears". The "tail" is a coil. You cant really tell, but there are little eyes. The glaze for the body is some kind of purple, but it didn't turn out purple. The dripping is Chinese crackle.

This is a non-objective sculpture. The "leaves" are based off of the top of a tomato. The teardrop has carvings on it based from the texture on wood. I made the teardrop by sculpting it around a ball of newspaper, cutting it in half, carving out excess clay, and then score-and-slipping it back together. The "leaves" are slab. The glaze used is tropical green and another form of purple.

This is my most meaningful and favorite piece. This is a house made from slab. The bars are coil. This house in some ways symbolizes how I feel at home, and in Utah in general. Trapped. See how the walls break away from the bars, where behind a seemingly normal and happy looking home, there is a prison. The glazes used are a form of red, black, blue and some Chinese crackle.

I love you:)

Life Update

I know, I know. I'm long overdue for a new post.

Just a quick update.

I've been suuuper busy with school.

I took the freakin ACT.

Kill me now.

This past weekend I went on a nice little overnighter with my Laurels.

I love 'em.

We went up to one of the leader's cabin, and it was adorable!

There was an organ there that was brought across the plains.

Apparently her husband's grandfather was the conductor for MoTab. 

Bomb Diggity.

We had a scripture marathon, where we were supposed to try and finish Alma by ourselves.

We started in Helaman, and had three chapters left by one in the morning.

Everyone was falling asleep.

We got about halfway through 3 Nephi in the morning,

It was amazing, reading about Christ coming to the Americas. 

His teachings are so precious.

And then we skipped to the last chapter of Moroni.

So good.

After that, on the way home, we watched Pride and Prejudice the Pink Bible version.

I am in love with it!

We stopped at Dairy Keen in Heber for lunch, and we saw President Uchtdorf there.

Pretty much we were all freaking out.

I feel like I am being so amature right now.

I wish I could write like a beast every post, but I just wanted to talk about my own life for a couple of secundos.

Is that even a word?

Meh. 

Whatever.

So, I'm on a huge 80's kick right now. 

I have always loved them, but lately...

The fashion, the music, the movies, everything.

I freaking love AC/DC.

And David Bowie.

And Pat Benatar.

And John Hughes. 

I could go on forever, but don't worry, I won't.

Ahh. alright, I'll stop now.

Thank for reading, 

I love you! :)
