artist I love


in ceramics we were doing lots of projects 5 vases here, and 5 cups there, bowls, and pitchers galore. so when our teacher told us what we were doing my sister decided to get some inspiration to see what we could do that would be fun enter jonathan adler's website here and an obsession had occurred. everything he designs is so whimsical and chic and i love him and would love to intern with him some day...if he takes interns. i love his quirky sense of style and writings and here are some of my favorite things he makes.

artist I love



Last week my school brought a visiting artist. they do this from time to time with different clubs. this time it was artist margery amdur. she came did a lecture in the afternoon which i attended.(because one of the art professors came in to our classroom and told us about it and our teacher said it was ok to go! YAY!) she went though some of the art she did when she first started out. it was 3-D installation work and some really awesome community art  pieces. she showed us how her style changed and what to do if we get in a creative slump. then at 5 was her gallery opening. which was amazing.




her stuff i amazing i hope you enjoy!

i think it's safe to say.....

That i need a little pick me up in the make up department. though i do wear bright red lipstick and dark purple lipstick i need to perk up my eye makeup and i think i will do that tomorrow with blue eye shadow and i know, i know what you guys are thinking you'll end up like mimi in the dew carry show! and you what i say to that pish posh that's hog wash you just have to do it right. like in these pictures.(sorry for the rhyme i made some dr. seuss inspired vases today)
