Some Pennsylvania Landscapes

A few from my shoots this weekend.

I am planning a photo filled weekend for myself!

I will be editing previous photos.

Shooting more for a series I'm working on.

Anddd, I have a consultation with a bride on Sunday.

I've already talked to the lovely bride to be on the phone a few times, and I am very much looking forward to meeting her and her parents. 

It's been a busy week of art for me. Working on my own creations. Going to the Elementary School and working with the adorable K-3rd graders. Lesson planning. Talking about art. Writing about art. Dreaming about art things. Exhausting. But lovely.

I'll post some of my photography work here today. Some new, and some old that are on my mind :)

Field and Wires

Kaelyn & Mike's Wedding

Birds

Planking

Plank Piece, Charles Ray, 1973

And you thought Facebook invented planking...

Friday

Despite the rain, and the fact that I was practically sleep driving on the way to school this morning (not safe, don't try it), I'm happy today.

First, had a lovely day in ceramics. I was finally able to find a texture/pattern/design method for embellishment that I feel connected to. It seems to reference my photography and my personality. This was very calming for me.

Second, going to POPPED FESTIVAL today! I can't wait to the amazing bands including: Cage the Elephant, The Joy Formidable, Company of Thieves, andddd the main reason I HAD to buy myself a ticket... The Shins.

Third, going to a friend's wedding tomorrow. That is always a happy day.

And fourth, being in love can always put a smile on your face.

Sample...

I was able to print some pictures, cut them out, and attach them to some nickles. This was the first actual trial, so there are some bugs to work out...but I'm getting more excited about the possibility to turn these into jewelry!

Power tower and power wires

Just Some Stumbling...

 I'm digging this artist right now...some of these little sayings, I have felt myself saying recently.

Home Improvement

Trying to make the apartment a bit more homey and easy to live in...

This is my current make-shift closet in an extra shower. Yes..we have 2 showers in one bathroom....
Hopefully this will be the "before" shot.

And this is a little something I threw together..
