Saturday, October 7

Hi friends! First off, i would like to apologize for being M.I.A. I received a lot of messages asking where I was and why I didn't post here.

I was gone because I'd been pretty down in the dumps. I have just been trying to focus on my overall health and school this past week!

The curse hasn't really affected me this past week, that I can recall, so that also factored into my not posting.

There were probably a lot of things that happened, but since I didn't write it down...I forgot. HOWEVER, this past Wednesday, I did learn how to weld and use a grinder.

Here is a fun photo of me in my welding gear:

I did weld metal, but it's not in my future because I am terrible at it.

BUT my sculpture teacher said I am a pro grinder, so that's something!

In full transparency, I just genuinely have not found any sort of motivation to write or even work on any of my art. So I took a short break. I am also surprised about the amount of people who have been reading this blog...its kinda of crazy that you guys are actually staying up to date with my posts. SO THANK YOUUU. I also bought a Luckenbooth brooch today because I need all the luck I can get. Especially since it's a Scottish thing...I need to get the Scotts to love me again. So I will be wearing a luckenbooth brooch from now on in the hope that my people might find me trustworthy again.

But looking on the brighter side of things: I'm working on what I'm calling a "memorial sweater" for my dad, who passed away this past May. It's for an assignment, but so far, I am incredibly proud of myself and my progress. This idea of death is kind of where my work leans in terms of theme, so I think I'm going to start pointing my body of work to that idea as a whole. So with that being said, at least I know what art I want to make!

MY MEDIA:

I know some of you were absolutely shocked by the amount of TV shows I am currently watching, but I'm just going to blame it on my ADHD. I just turn it on while working on art so it doesn't feel so lonely, but I promise I'm not just sitting there all day doing nothing but watching television.

But that is all I have for you guys today! Send me a comment if you have any suggestions or want me to talk about something specific :)
