Patiently Awaiting

Finally took images from my Photo 1 class last semester. I kinda went a little overboard with it. teehehee. Took an average of 40 hours of shooting 12 standard black and white rolls of film, developing, printing many, MANY proof prints, and final prints.
Then another average of 40+ hours of designing, hand fabricating the frames and assembly.
I dont like to toot my own horn but im really proud of this one. If you would like to see it
closer or better details heres my flickr link!

37th Toys Designed by Artists Exhibtion

I got this in the mail the other day and about scared my roommate to death! One of my friends in the metals department told me i should totally submit "El Musta-Cheh" to this show and after she told me i really really should i decided why not. I really wasnt expecting to get in, i really wants sure if my piece really could be concidered a toy but the more i think about it, it totally is!
anyway the show is in Arkansas and im totally going to do everything
in my power to be able to go!
The reception is December 16th and the
show will run till February 20th.

"Bat Crazy"

I FINALLY took pictures of this! Last year I
got to take a Mokume Gane class and boy is that process very intensive. I made one good billet and my other one failed. I really enjoy working with the
patterned metal its such a really neat touch and there are so many ways to finish it and different combinations of metals you can use to create it!

"Raven's Cameo" and 5th Annual Intercollegiate Metals Exhibition

NEW!! :D
I've been pretty sick this past month and decided that I was going to at least make it some what productive. This actually started out at just a doodle when i was working
on my color theory homework and totally snowballed out of control into what you see now! may i also say making that chain was such a PAIN!!! but well worth it in the end :D
Also it was accepted into the 5th Annual Intercollegiate Metals Exhibition!! Last year my "Every Cactus Has its Thorns" piece made it in and won second place in jewelry! wish me luck this year!

4th Annual Arizona Designer Craftsmen Juried Exibition

WOOOO!
This was such an exciting show for me.
All four pieces i submitted made it in and i won first place in the entire show!
The show itself was really impressive, i had no clue and really surprised me when i won, i was just happy i got
in the show to begin with. There was sooooo
much really nice stuff in the show and i
defiantly had some favorites, all around awesome show
full of amazing artists! I feel honored to get to have my art in there with them.

Me with my piece that won :D

Me and my Dad, he has yet to miss any of my shows.
just saying, my Dad is awesome and i'm so lucky to have him!
Love ya Dad! "Release"
