Recycled Birdfeeders

Boat birdfeeders, so the birds can eat and bathe in one place!


base = packing foam
hull = plastic bottles
silos = boba straws
connectors = plastic bags and skewers


Custom shaped funnels for easy refilling


Test run resulted in birdseed disaster. One sank. I'm too scared to test them again, so hopefully they will work correctly for Tuesday!

I made curtains!



Melissa got really ugly chairs for free, and we decided to design*sponge it and do a makeover:



i want to cut my hair off!

!t's long enough! Much longer than the 10" required for Locks of Love. I'm thinking of cutting on my birthday... what a great new start to being 24! :)

grass, letters, and fabric, oh my

Hello,
Today I counted grass in a 2x2" square for info design. There were 83 blades, in case you were wondering.

I also spent the morning in archetype! eEveryone there is so friendly. An instructor was there teaching an art center at night class, and he let me print!

Backwards and brayered:


This metal type will be printed on top of the donkey|elephant (nov 4, 2008 PARTY TIME!)


Melissa moved in yesterday! All 3 of us are now at the Balmer house :)
My totally cluttered and unedited room:

Living space!

Workspace!

Fabric im using to make curtains. I'm halfway done, final product coming soon!

Crazy backyard down the street from us. So pretty at night!


Currently working on my birdfeeder made out of trash.

four!



term 4! today i made:
my first letterpressed piece. this class is awesome, i will be very sad if my section is cancelled.


i also used my sorting skillz. good thing i got lots of practice with rocks on the beach! we were supposed to find 25 pieces of waste that are the same thing, and arrange them based on a characteristic for info design.


i am quite excited for this term, and very happy to be in my new house! photos to come soon.
