I love little fashion films so much. Above are some of my favorites!
Stay tuned because kyle & I are making one of these very very soon (:

I hope everyone had the most wonderful christmas! Kyle and I had a lot of fun opening gifts under our little tree. I'll post what he got me later.




Winter break is the best break of all time.

(my final color photo project-- viewing the large size is much better)

so many more posts soon! Kyle and I are back from his parents house, so I have free time galore. So much to show you!
What are you hoping to get for christmas? I'm getting so excited.

oh hello!

wowowowow it's been ages since my last post! I apologize but this past week was my last for the school semester, so I've been crazy busy with final projects. Today is one of the best days of the year, being the beginning of winter break.
I have so many new projects, I don't know where to begin posting! I'm so tired though and have to get up early, so I'll just show you one of my newest projects for now:







This is a dress I made for my Lithography final, made from crepe paper with lithography print. It's wearable!, but pretty difficult to move around in without it tearing.

Sweet Roxanne tagged me for this. Sorry it's taken me a bagillion years to do!

1.Where is your phone? in my school bag
2.Your hair? Is wet and in a towel! One time I had it like this (as I always do after taking a shower) and was sitting indian style on the floor, and Kyle thought I was an indian man with a turban on!!

4.Your Father? looks like he should be in a western film.
5.Your favourite food? I reeally love white pizza with alfredo sauce, and I love guacamole.
6.Your dream last night? I don't remember it, which is strange because I usually do! I can tell you something funny Kyle did though-- I woke up to hearing him say "I can't reach it", as he lifted his hand in the air. He then started rubbing the side table lamp, and said "must use the force", and then grabbed my head! hahahha
7.Your favourite drink? Most definitely bubble tea. It's hard to choose a specific flavor, but I'd say it's between taro and honeydew, cold and with pearls.

Kyle and I are going to Spearfish, SD tomorrow for a week to visit his parents. It has beautiful mountains and we pass a giant jackalope! I'll post lots of pictures and more of my final projects when we get back! I'm also thinking of doing something crazy like dying my hair blonde on something.
Are you venturing anywhere for winter break?

silk bows and puppy dogs

These are some pages from a book I created of a made up person (I named her Ruby Swanson), who (fictionally) made this scrapbook in the 1930's-40's. I used found photographs and added text, ribbons, etc. I'm pretty pleased with the result! Also, my new header is my most recent lithograph using photo plates and three colors.
The 40's is such a fascinating decade to me historically. I wish that we still had as much love for our country as americans did then, and people still went dancing instead of grinding for fun. The women of that time must have been so brave, with their dashing boyfriends and such going to war. It certainly must have made everyone appreciate and cherish each other much more.


While getting supplies for this project, I saw the cutest paper toothfairy costume hat, made in the 1920's...I just had to make my own.

beam beam beam!

Now I must find out-- what is your favorite holiday dessert?
I'm making a delicious treat to bring to kyle's grandma's house for Thanksgiving, and it has to be perfect so we can prove ourselves as not being babies haha.
I've always loved a pumpkin roll because that's what my mom made every year, so I'm thinking of making that, although our kitchen it so small it might be difficult. I'm also thinking about making truffles! Who doesn't love those?

I feel really homesick today and I'm not sure why.
Have a lovely, ghoully halloween!!

one with stripes, one spotted

burr burr burr burr burr. Minneapolis is cold land, USA.
Last weekend I flew to Portland, OR and saw some family who are much too far away. The town is so wonderful and the weather was nearly perfect...I wish it was closer.
My brother showed me this really neat huge, huge book store. It's the largest in America, taking up six blocks! I bought Silent World by Jaques Cousteau, and touched some pretty pricey reads. Kyle would have gone craaazy.

what's your favorite town? I haven't been to many so I don't have a lot of choices.
I love kansas city, because it's my home...but portland fantastic. Oh and DC is really pretty, too.
I think if I could visit more towns, I think I'd really love smaller towns in france.
