Hello all you cool cats and kittens.
I say this because my cat is angrily meowing at me. Human, she is saying, why is that computer in my spot? Get that silly thing off of your lap so I can take a nap.
Speaking of computers, I have had to order a new one. So that's fun. And expensive.
Also, joined the Instagram wagon. Did not think I was going to. But I did. And it's quite fun. Carmentsmith is my name on there.
But back to art. This week has been filled with debate over what to pursue. I have all of these projects going on, but how to make them all visually congruous? Or do I need to? Is the purpose of doing this to just go with it, to be me making art instead of over-analysing what I am producing?
And I have decided yes, so I have many things going on. I am creating another garment/necklace piece, drawing on the first one and the critique, and also just my response to both the first one and the materials. I think it's going well.
I am working with paper. We'll see how that goes, not much going forward there yet.
I am also continuing to cover the long piece with beads, which will take forever and eventually be done. I can't see the end right now, but I am sure it will arrive with some sense of accomplishment.
What else... Oh yes, heat shrink tubing... I did a test, and decided I needed it to be BIGGER and MORE and ALL ENCOMPASSING! Which means I ordered more materials and they will be here this week.
Soooooo here are some artists I am looking at, and I am looking forward to finally dragging you all over to my studio for Critique. I should probably clean up a little before then.

Monica Ramos
Funky drawings.

She gets Bees to cover things in honey, it's very neato and looks great and disgusting. Honey is such an odd substance. I do not particularly like to think about where it comes from but I do like to eat it.
Marjorie K Schick
Sculptural jewelry! Woo!
Iris Van Herpen
Technically fashion, although I think a lot of this could be classified as jewelry. I'm exploring those classifications. Tricksy.
Alex Kanevsky
I find these haunting and disjointed and I love them.
