For my Digital Tools class we had to work with a program we had never used before, or learn a new skill in a familiar one. My friends and I decided that we would work together to create a stop-action film in finalcut pro. Our inspiration was the song La Vie En Rose.
Enjoy!

Giving Thanks
I got wind on Modcloth's Thanksgiving Thank-a-Thon blog contest from my darling roommate Jojo who entered the contest with a smashing poem.
And since I'm always swooning over their amazing items, but tear up at the prices and my empty wallet, I thought I'd give it a shot!.
Of course I'm not doing it just for the merch. I've actually been thinking about how thankful I am for my amazing family.
My parents are the reason why I am the person I am today. My Dad has worked at a theater my entire life, and my Mom has been an amazing stay at home mom who recently went back to work so I could go to college. They always supported my choice to be an artist, knowing it would bring me joy even though I may not make lots of money. They taught me to love God and others. I've been such a stubborn child to raise, but they kept loving me even when I was my worst. Because of them I am equipped with the knowledge I need to be a grown woman who follows God's plan and who uses her creativity to love. I say my thanks for them everyday, and I can't wait to take the love they taught me and use it in my life.

Crazy Craftin'
I haven't updated with my art work in a while, so I figured now is as good a time as ever!
Here are some random crafts I've been doing.
I discovered my love for hot gluing random pretties to bobby pins
I had a 50% off coupon at Michaels! So what do I do? Buy an awesome butterfly for my hair, of course!
LEGO
Pretty marble I found in the e-trash outside my dorm
One of the little plastic guns I got with my R2-D2 figurine
Some awesome paper I stole from my friends huge paper lantern for her 4D Design class, don't worry, she didn't want it anymore :]
This is actually from a while ago, before I came to school. I just grabbed random objects I thought were cool and put them on ribbon and, voila! necklace.
I LOVE keys. It's one of my most favorite things in the whole world. I've been collecting them since I was little (the big gold one is form when I was about 4 or 5). Sadly, I'm poor so this is about the gist of my key collection.
Another thing I love are the old tags from alcoholic beverages. You remember, how in the old days their drinks were kept in pretty glass bottles. Well they used these awesome metal tags to tell them apart! Micheal's has a few different kinds, but I like the "Gin" one best. And it was on sale. How could I say no?
Trouble is I feel bad wearing it out at my Christian college, where we sign a contract not to drink. We'll see, it may make an appearance.
I also just finished my latest project for my Digital Tools class. We had to make bugs on Illustrator. So I made pretty butterflies and twigs and made a mobile!
I've been doing a lot in my Ceramics class too, I'll post pics of them later.
That's it for now!
