Its here! The last day of classes. It's so triumphant! I've finished everything now except for two projects. Not bad at all. I'm not at all frazzled anymore. The end is within reach! I'm so glad I worked really hard the last few weeks though, I'm really happy with what I've made. It's strange to think the semester is almost over already. I feel like it just began. I've gotten into the swing of things now and its sad for it to end. But I'll be in Syracuse this summer and that should help me to keep working in the studio. I don't want to forget where I was as far as my work goes.
I have a critique today at 1:30 for fibers. I managed to finish my project pretty early yesterday. I was home in time for dinner! It was the first time I've silkscreened in a long time. I screened onto four silk scarves I later dyed several colors. I highly recommend a fibers class. You learn all sorts of things. I even dyed my paper last week for my book. OOo my book! It went very well. I was up quite late finishing it for class. Actually, I only managed to finish one for class-instead of the three we needed-but my professor was very understanding and let me hand them all in a day later. I'm glad she did. The book was much better than if I had rushed to finish it in time. The professors are usually very good about the due dates being flexible if you are working hard. They're also very flexible about the assignment if you have a good idea that you're excited about. My one professor always says, "if you're bored, your work will be boring." I'm taking her assignment in a different direction then she had in mind, but I think it should work out for the best.
Ok, that's it for now. I'll be back next week for the final blog of the semester. Wish me luck!
