Porcelain Dreams

Today I had a talk with the very nice ceramics dept. manager at my school about possibly using the kilns in the dept. Alas, my lack of experience/ the fact that I wasn't able to take a ceramics class here means that I can't use the kiln, which is understandable. Poo! I just really wanted to try and make my own shelf city:



Ah well, there are always summer classes at the Baltimore Clayworks.

a picture worth a thousand words

I adore this site. So many wonderful inspiration to be found on a picture worth a thousand words. Every image is a link to the site it was found on by a picture... creator jenny vorwaller.

(The first image posted is by the amazing Irving Penn and the second is by maisie cousins )

Happy hunting!

SNOW!

So the snow here has been incredible. Everything's been shut down for practically the whole week between the snow that came down on friday and then again on wednesday. Once I get my own images developed, I'll post some, but for now...

Stuffie Crafts

So I made these guys a while ago. They're both made from pillowcases. If you notice in the owl, there are bits of material that I also used for the fox. I got the idea for the owl in a book I own for different types of art pillows. The fox is inspired by the very talented abigail brown. I love the way she used stitching to add a great line quality to something 3 dimensional. And in case you were wondering, my owl's name is Jasper Pully and the fox is Lars.

Some of my favorite Interior Design Photos

So I've realized recently that interior design has become somewhat of a passion of mine. Maybe it's in my blood, my dad is an architect, but maybe its because I've just come across so many beautiful pictures. I'd like to post some as a way for me to view them easily as well as to share with others. None of these pictures are mine, but hopefully I'll find a job where i can photograph some beautiful places like these (and maybe live in one *crosses fingers*). I don't remember exactly where I found most of these, but they are almost entirely from blogs I can't pull myself away from.

More for Thesis

There will be 9 images total, but with these four, my grand total at this point comes to 6. I don't have a name yet for this series either.

Thesis

So these past three months I've been working on my thesis project for college. These are just a couple of images from the series. These scans are pretty bad so once I get a free minute, I'll probably rescan and re-post the images.
The idea behind them is that I'm working with the female silhouette and how it's changed over time and within art. The form of the female body has had to endure a lot of changes in the name of fashion and beauty. I'm not really questioning the idea of beauty though as much as I am investigating, with fabrics, shapes and forms, how clothes can embody the concept of feminine.
