exciting news!

I have been referred/offered a (possible) job as a tutor for art history! This would be so awesome, I really am interested in art history, I am doing well in the class and I think I can communicate well with people and make the subject fun. Keeping my fingers crossed for the opportunity!

In other great news, NCECA is NEXT WEEK AHHH!!!!! So excited! We are finishing up the glazing on our door surround project. It is extremely tedious and time consuming..will post pics later.
We just got our Clay around the bay brochures for NCECA echibits/galleries in St. pete, and Charlie Parker Pottery is number 2 on the list, and they used my tree wall piece as one of the images for the front cover!! It's hard to see the images on here..anyways, things are looking good, and I'm extremely busy and stressed.

San Antonio

Dean's graduation was awesome! I never though I could be so moved by military forces..all working together in synchronized movements..marching, chanting. It was all very impressive. He looks sharp, and he has some more respect. It was a nice weekend. Riverwalk in downtown San Antonio is beautiful

new beginnings

So I've decided to start this blog because I want to follow other blogs to obtain some incite into the arts/textiles/ world so that I can discover new ideas and find ways to promote myself as an artist. Blogging is like this whole other world! who knew! There are like--zillions of blogs!
Anyways, I'm off to San Antonio Texas tomorrow for Dean's air force boot camp graduation! Congrats twin bro!
I recently discovered that I didn't get accepted into USF St. Pete's Graphic design program :( bummer. super let down, I have so much going for me right now, but they only accept 20 students per year! So I knew the odds were against me, it's just frustrating because I didn't have a back up plan. I've been so busy with school and work and the studio..who has time to apply for scholarships and schools anyway?!!
So I have no permanent plan for next year, but anything goes! I might try to go off to some ridiculously expensive art school in the fall, (Thinking Cali, Philly, or Oregon!)
or I might take a year of and focus on myself, my art, my focus, and creating a book of textile designs. If I want to get in to UCF I need to take 3 semesters of French.

Vie de merde!!!!!
