Wow. I did not even recall ever having a blog or posting anything. But it seems as if I did? Interesting. I resent the name of my blog and the name of the URL. I am changing it ASAP. I have pretty much boycotted blogs since they became so hip and popular (how synonymous). However, I'm supposed to make a podcast or vodcast for my Writing & Technology Class…and I figure this would be a good means to do so. I was going to do a vodcast showing how to center and properly throw a vase, BUT Aaron (my ceramics teacher) decided to close the studio TODAY. No more throwing or ceramics or anything that I love so very much will take place after today until next semester:( Sad.
First and foremost, I like to think I'm somewhat crafty. I love anything I can make, recreate, build, rebuild, and pretty much anything that requires creativity. I love decorating and interior design, and majority of my art reflects this. The very first art class I took was the summer before my junior year of college. It was introduction to drawing. While I still suck at drawing, it has opened many other doors of opportunity for me. If it weren't for drawing I would have never had the chance to take sculpture or even CERAMICS. I've made a few things I'm proud of. So far they include: a badass hope chest, a corner clothing rack (my most proud piece of work), and some pottery. As you can see I haven't been doing this for very long. But, I'm really enjoying it so far.
My passion for art, and anything creative really, led me to want to teach people how to do something crafty via my podcast/vodcast. One thing I want to attempt is to make candles. I have an uncanny obsession with them and the effortless beauty their dripping wax creates. I have an assortment of wine, rum, and delirium nocturnum (<--YUM) bottles that I constantly stick candles in. The only downside about doing this is that it wastes wax. But once my creative wheels got turning, I discovered a solution for this by saving all of the leftover wax in order to create NEW recycled candles!
I'll be covering this in my upcoming podcast. Check back for the how to(:
