It's all over!!!

For my BFA Portfolio at least. We had a good 30-40 people show up. Many from an crafts fair on the same day (for the food) but it was still pretty fun. And of course, I had to have been talking to someone when a large group was looking and talking about my exhibit. 😕But I was taking to the Dean so it wasn't so bad 😏 and he gave me some suggestions for people I should look up and who I can get in touch with that do, pretty much, what I'm doing.

My family came up Friday morning. I showed them my exhibit as well as my studio, a little mini tour of where I spend 90% of my time. They seemed to like it but you can't really judge family. But it was awesome to show them all my hard work.

My birthday was saturday!🎊🎁🎊and I actually got stuff!😵😋I got some shoes, boots, shirts and my pops took me out to a movie and Japanese food! Dracula Untold isn't in the cheaper cinemas yet and I was not interested in any of the newer movies, so I saw 'No Good Deeds' with Tarahji P Henson and Idris Elba. It was a pretty interesting movie and had some unexpected twist. And, of course, Ms. Henson was no damsel in distress, at least most of the time, which made me very happy. Nothing makes me cringe more that that trope. Actually most of the women where pretty strong even though...😕 watch the movie. I'm not going to spoil it. I might write a review on my other blog though.

My grandma made dinner for me today and I got to see the new Hercules with the Rock. As an action girl, of course I enjoyed it. It wasn't entirely what I thought it would be (him doing the 12 labors) but it had some faithfulness to the myth. HD is a horrible idea, I don't know why people like it. 😕 but still an enjoyable movie!😏

So, for this break... I have my individual project for BookArts and I really need to start on my research paper. I knew it was a bit of a fat chance of me actually reading the books over the break, so I just brought the print-outs.

As I've, probably, already stated, I am making a pine 'bamboo' scroll. Still not 100% sure of what I'm going to do but I think I'm going to tie it in with my portfolio stuff. I just have to doodle out some ideas. I'm thinking of doing some wood burning and then some varnish stains. Or I might just do the staining.😕

I'm probably going to have to crank out my painting the day I get back to school and then I have to do my photography portfolio. Still need to write my artist statement for that. I have very little clue what I'm going to write about.

I still plan on getting plenty of sleep and eating a LOT of great food!

I hope everybody has a phenomenal Thanksgiving and some much needed rest!

Much Love,
Hema❤️
