dress

i wish i had more time to spend on my dress. but the cardboard dress seems to be working out pretty well. we got a huge tv this weekend and i get the box. and the funny thing is i am more excited about getting the huge cardboard box then getting a new tv :) how funny is that! but i got the bottom part of the dress done, but now i must start on the top, which i think will be the hardest part. but i am excited for the challenge, i just hope it will be ready in time to enter into scholastics otherwise that would suck... alot. although i still do like it. i mean its a cardboard dress!!! i really like cardboard right now.

Artistic Heroes

Wayne Thiebaud is one artist who I think really speaks to me, mostly because of how much he uses cakes in his paintings. I am apparently and artist who really likes to combine my love of baking with my love of painting, and it seems that Wayne Thiebaud is able to capture what I feel for cakes in his paintings as well, but he takes such soft and gentle things such as cakes and cupcakes and makes them look almost like buildings. they are smooth and round, but lose their soft frosting like appearance, they still look like cakes, but they look more like what you would think of a cake if it were a building. using straight lines and perfect angles he takes a flawed cake and makes it straight, which is something not generally associated with cakes. I like his work, but there is something almost mathematical about it.
painting: cakes No.1

bodice wanted

i am currently looking for one of those mannequin things, the ones that seamstresses use, all there is is a body and if you want you can pin things to them and stuff making it easy to work with and stab. see the thing is i have an idea, i think it would take for freaking ever to do, but i am really interested in creating a dress, like a hoop skirt type dress thing all based around this bodice. but that is my idea so far. hmm i donno if i can do that, but i want to, at least right now i do.

Artist's block

i am not sure what the proper term is, but i think that i will just call it artist's block, because everyone will understand what i mean. you see as of late i have had no time to develop my ideas involving art. too many AP classes can do this to a person, or at least to me, thus i am at a crossroad, i can either stay up till 2 in the morning and actually think about art, or i can go to bed and kick butt on my AP Stat test tomorrow. hmmmm decisions decisions. and no matter what i decide it will be detrimental to my overall attitude and person. thus it sucks :( all i know is that i have a basic concept of what i want to do, which somehow involves the female figure, but i have no idea how i am supposed to combine that with something that makes me really fired up, excluding politics and religion and the environment and general ignorance of world events. i need to set aside some time to really think and develop my concentration, whatever it may be. but as it is i am currently suffering from artist's block and have nooooo idea what to do :( not good.
