I'm almost done with my required classes, so I finally got around to taking...gasp...art! It's hard work but very fun and engaging and I'm sorta bummed I didn't do this years and years ago.

I think I find sculpture most exciting so far. The problem-solving is very different, and I am *building* something. Drawing is great too though, and given how well this term has gone I'm very seriously considering adding an art minor to my degree. 

Anyway, now there's a bunch of new stuff in my gallery and scrapbook if you want to see what I've been up to.

Last day before fall term starts and I've done exactly none of the things on my list for summer break. Here's to wildly successful procrastination!

Summer term is over, my grades are good, and I miss air conditioning. Now I have six weeks for all the creative things (and chores) I wanted to work on over the past 8 weeks but was too busy to do. Trying very hard to work on that to-do list instead of subscribing to WoW for a month, but it's hard.

High on the list: finish all the books I started in spring, make a load of earrings to sell, and organize everything I own. Easy, right?

Making a lot of earrings lately while I wait for summer term to start. Whoring out the Etsy shop, raking up branches and pinecones in the backyard, drinking as much coffee as I can without exploding. www.etsy.com/shop/beckymew

Loving the spring in Oregon. It's so nice. Damp, but wonderful. Everything is green and smells like moss and sunshine.

Seems the 'rents ripped out the old apple trees this weekend to clear up space for douglas fir babies. I guess it's good I got a picture of one before it ended up as firewood, huh?

There's a giant whiteboard in the hall that I doodle on every week or so. This week I made my first fanart portrait of a SWTOR character, so I might start putting those in my scrapbook for fun. SITH HORNS!
