I am doing Betsey Johnson for my table setting. I picked her because she started my interest is design and fashion. The  first thing i made was my bowl it is almost like a little egg chair but it has buttons all over it and I'm going to glaze it in some crazy colors. It was a little annoying to attach all the buttons but I'm glad i did because it looks pretty cool, at least I think it does. Second i am making my cup that is supposed to look like a bow on its side (picture below) I have to figure out how to make sure the ends of the ribbon don't snap off when it dries. it has been fun so far and i cant wait to see my finished project!

Our metals unit is over :( I made a piece that looks like a butterfly on a leaf. the bottom is brass then the leaf is copper and the butterfly is silver. It was so hard to cut out the little rain drop cut outs in the brass and the cut outs in the leaf but i love how it turned out! The one major issue i had was putting on the butterfly, it wouldn't sotter on i tried so many times (we ended up just gluing it). All the heat did turn it a great color though. This unit was so much fun and I hope I can take it again next year!

Metals

The metals are going pretty well so far! I finished cutting my butterfly shape first (picture below). My design is inspired by a butterfly on a leaf with dew drops/ rain around it. All the pieces are in the picture below.The sawing is hard and a little annoying when the blade breaks but I bet the soldering will be fun. I think that the rest of the metals experience will be fun it will challenging but interesting so I'm excited for the rest!!

identity collage

my identity collage is one of my favorite things I have done so far, I love the colors I used and what the things Incorporated into it mean to me. The picture in the back of it makes me laugh every time I look at it. Not just because of the glasses my dad is wearing but because this was taken right after I had been on the beach all day and I got burned like a lobster... but the collage itself is fun and interesting at least I think it is all the fabrics, drawings, colors and techniques I used mean something to me and that's why I love this piece.

self portrait

I think my self portrait turned out pretty great it actually kinda looks like me!!! (my picture is posted below). It was so hard to get the drawing to look like me. People who draw portraits for a living have have some tallent. Making my own paint color and inking where a little more relaxing. It was great to see it all come together. when you finish something like my portrait that took you so long and that you worked so hard on it gives you a great feeling. I hope everyone else thinks it looks like me!!

i like this painting because of the colors and the use of the clocks how they look like they are almost slipping through time within the painting. i also see almost an evolution like it has a story running though it as you look at it.

i love this sculpture because it is so simple but so different. the neon lights surrounding it give it great color and the fact that they are real bikes with some parts changed out lights in there place seems so fun and creative to me.
