It just hit me...
1 min read
(Last week actually) A big part of my plans was to get money to pay for studio time, but with my crazy schedule… I’m very rarely ever going to get to go😕🙁☹️
That sucks… it really does😣
I’ve been plotting and planning for all this stuff to make molds, do glaze and additive testing, and a lot of other things. AND I won’t even be able to do any of them. 😒
On a less sucky note, I have already started on some ideas for drawings and (possibly) paintings to take that head-space for awhile. I’ve already did some experiments for the imagery I want to do and started on one. So I’m not completely out back on my religion front. I’m also doing a lot of research and planning for the parameters of the religion itself. So, mentally, I’m still keeping really busy.
I’m still lost on what to do for my Peacock but I haven’t given up on it yet.
My Opal (the first on anyway) is done. Official pics will be up tomorrow.
That’s it for now.
Much Love, Hema❤️

A day late but more than a dollar even!

Lol! It's been a couple of weeks but I finally have something worth reporting....
I finally got a job!!
Not necessarily the job I want (retail, and it's only part time) but I'm still really happy and blessed to have it. Any money is good money. I've gotten paid twice so far and most of the money has gone to stuff I needed and student loans but a little of my last check and the next will go towards some more fun things. Like getting some of the resin I want.
I'm not 1000% sure if I said this the last time but I'm think of moving away from my idea of instillations to working on models or a more exhibit type of setup. I'm thinking thi will translate better for whenever I reapply for grad school. AND I can actually start doing stuff for them now!😁😁😁 So I'm definitely going to be going deeper into my religion and back to actually writing the story that goes with it. I've also been looking up some research on dioramas and museum exhibits to try to give me some ideas.
For my resin work, I'm still trying to figure out what to do with the wings on Peacock but I'm still coming up blank. I did some additional weaving to the body but I don't really like it. I might undo it😕. On my Opal piece, I had to re-dye the string. I swear black is the hardest color to dye!!! 😖😫 If it comes out a dark gray this time, I'll just deal with it. It'll work well with either shade but black would give the best contrast!!
I'm still planning on writing a tip soon! Watch for it!

The Die was Cast...

And obviously since I didn't come up here with elating news, I didn't get into grad school.
I most likely need to create a whole new portfolio if I were to apply again but I'm more than a little over it. I think I'm just going to make the stuff I want to make and try to do my own gallery showing somewhere. Or make a really swanky website (even though I suck at computers).
But on a better note, I have had an interview!!!
And I have the second tomorrow. It's not a dream job or anything but it is work and I really need money! As much as I love my family I really want to get out and see new people every now and then and save up for my own place. So wish me luck!!!😁😁😁
On the art front, I'm still working on my 'Peacock' and going to start back on my paintings. Probably going to go back to some regular painting as well. One sucky thing about limited new experiences is limited inspiration. I have no idea what I'm going to do after I finish these two pieces. I'm still looking at new materials and interesting things that I can transform into art pieces but it's going a bit slow. I have become a bit more interested in learning how to crochet. So we'll see how that goes.
Personally, I was talking to a guy for a little while but that, apparently, fizzled out. It was a fun distraction for a bit. But otherwise, nothing new. Not that I'm looking. It kind of just happened. I would much rather find some art friends to hang out with. I also saw the new Transformers in 3D. It was pretty good but it's definitely not the last one.
Other news, I am going to do a tip sometime in that near future. I have been such a flake about writing but I genuinely can't think of tips that aren't common knowledge. But I will take suggestions!! Hit me up!
Much Love,
Hema ❤️

A bit has happened...

Not much but a bit.
My updated grad portfolios are done, dusted, and sent. So now I just have to play the waiting game til April or May😔. It's annoying and nerve-wreaking but I'm trying not to stress it.
I have decided to end the continuous "of the days." They don't get many reblogs or likes so it's a lot of searching and stress for nothing. But I will post interesting quotes and pics I find and I will be leaving the tags up. I was really debating how to end things but it was kinda done for me when I totally forgot for 2 days straight🤣🤣. I may or may not pick these up again on day. I started posting to occupy my mind and help with my mental state but I really don't need it at the moment.
Still looking for work. I found two good potential jobs and now I'm just waiting for a callback or something. I'm suppose to get an email when the positions close.🤗 I have a little commission going on right now. It's for a family member but it's cash so I'm not complaining😏. Definitely considering a gofundme or grants so I can get some funds supplies and studio time. I found some studio space at some close rec centers. Not ideal but, at this point, anything is better than a kitchen table.
Everything else in my life is pretty much the same but I did get to spend some time with my siblings. Everybody came down for my brother's birthday. It was a lot of great food, drinks, and even more laughter. It was a great weekend!
That's it for now!!

So I've been thinking...
2 min read
As some of you may know I have two blogs (on Tumblr): Hemamal studios- my art and the art I like blog, and Life: A Bloody Stage- my fandoms, fun, current event, etc blog. I've really been considering doing away of my "of the days" postings.
I don't really get too many reblogs and it's just gotten less and less fun over the years (4+ on my Life blog!😵). I don't know if I want to just cut them down to once a week, once a month, or just get out of the way all together. I might just post randomly if I find something interesting.
I don't know...😑🙁😔
So, I decided that I've done enough tweaking on my portfolio and essays and I'm just going to send my stuff in. I think if I don't get into grad school this time around I'm going to take a few years off to work on my artist career (finding residencies, commissions, galleries,etc) and find a nice studio I can work in maybe find a place that teaches some form of art and just try to understand my path on my own. I have an idea of what I need to study in the anthropological aspect of my work but I'm definitely going to try and find other artist to fellowship with. I really want to see some of the ideas I have in my head come to fruition.
I think I may go ahead and design a room and start peeping and making the things to go into it. I already have some ideas for some objects I want to make. I'm also thinking of making a gofundme page to get a start on supplies and look at some state grants too.
I gues I'll just have to see what the future holds and make things happen🤗
