The first choice I had for the name of my blog was "in the name of art" but, when scrunched together and turned into a url it became "inthenameofart" what's the first word you see? "fart." .....No? Well, good for you, but I just couldn't see beyond it. I settled with "in art we trust" and inadvertently settled for "wet rust." But I do believe the latter is more acceptable, so here we are! And by we I really mean me, because nobody will read this. Hopefully... and if you have found your way here I apologize in advance.
So I guess this is where I get to the point....
I wanted a place to document my art and simultaneously my life. I am a creative being and always have been, I study art and hope to work in the textile industry. But enough about that..
Let us begin, today was, well.... let's just say I should have gone back to bed when my alarm sounded and tried my luck 24 hours later.
To begin, the spring break rafting trip I wanted to sign up for was full, but no big deal looking back on it. Then I lost my room keys, my mailbox key, my car keys, my license, my debit card, my school id, my school access card, ten dollars, some killer chapstick, and my brand new walled that I just sewed!!!! I am most upset about the last one, I have tried to perfect my wallet making skills over the years and this is the first one I have been completely happy with. And I never even got to take a picture of it! I should probably be more concerned about the preceding items though, total replacement cost, looking to be $200.
Then I cut my finger on my exacto knife, my friend rolled his ankle when we went rock climbing.... the events just continue.
But on a lighter note I did my best work in my drawing class, I guess artists do need pain (mental and physical here) to flourish. So my work should be a lot better tomorrow.... right? it's a stretch but I am begging for a bright side, just humor me.
So now for my current project: operation backpack! (and I just decided to add a clip on the inside for keys, today inspired me to say the least) I am not finished, but this is the only visualization I have to offer at the moment, my sewing headquarters in the middle of my project. Sewing where you sleep is hazardous, I find pins all over my floor and even found one in my bed.... I should probably be in shoes right now and not taking any chances on this already doomed day.
Hopefully I will have a completed product in a week or two, but projects always takes longer than expected, especially when you constantly make additions.
Ah nothing like some art history studying to make writing here the most entertaining activity, oh internet, you never cease to distract.
Maybe tomorrow will bring good news and someone will seek me out and return all my vital possessions! But I feel like I've already used up my luck in that area.... this is the second time I have lost all the items mentioned (sans wallet). Last time all was returned but I feel like you are only entitled to that kindness once, especially when living in downtown Atlanta.
Oh well.....
Goodnight! Well, not really, I have too much studying ahead of me...
