For all you facebook stalkers out there..

Lumen Prints!

My very first lumen print! It's not the best, but hey, it's only my first one. It was so much fun, I soaked plants all morning and then put the straight on to the photo paper and exposed it to UV light for about 3 hours. Then I soaked in in fixer until it looked cool and washed it for 30 minutes. Ta Da! I will be making more later.....yay!

Another Great Day, at BYU-Idaho

First Date at BYU-I

Logos!

Logos Logos Logos! This has been my latest graphic design project. I've spent many many hours on it, like over 30 at least. 10 hours just last weekend. It's for a reptile exhibit about rock art and desert reptiles. The reason it took me so long is because my teacher decided he thought it looked to computer generated if I used real fonts and drew it in Adobe Illustrator, so, I had to draw it all by hand......everything, even the fonts. These are the three that turned out the best! The red one is the complete logo, the other two are variations that can be used on letterheads and business cards. My class chose this logo as the most succesful! Yay!

New hobby: Lumen Prints! I haven't actually made any yet....but we learned how to today and I'm so excited! The color is so dramatic and I love the expirimentation involved. It's also very surrealistic...which is what I like. This guy has some pretty cool Lumen Prints: http://jerryburchfield.com/gallery1.htm


Here's a few pictures I took the other day with my camera. I got a bouquet of flowers a while ago and it's still sitting on my desk even though it's been dead for awhile. The pictures turned out pretty cool though.

Here we are last night at FHE! We got three groups together to play Dodgeball but we just ended up playing tag instead. It was pretty fun :)

Arli forgot shoes so she sported some pretty stylin' boots

I got to visit the Warnick family a few weekends ago! I had a blast hanging out with them and playing Apples to Apples

Hello friends!

This week has been crazy but fun. I went snowboarding on monday for the first time in years....it was really fun. Getting off the ski-lift was definently the hardest part of the whole trip, I couldn't get off it without falling. Other than that I think I did pretty well. The rest of the week was spent doing homework and watching lost...yay!

Lara.....my FHE sister.....she practically lives at my apartment....I luv her

Okay story time! So last night Kirby Hayborne was performing here in town (We couldn't get tickets) so before the show he was at the bookstore signing autographs and stuff. The line wasn't really that long but we still had to wait for almost two hours! He would stop and talk to each person in line for a long time before he would sign their stuff. Anyways here are pictures:

He sang for us :)

He talked to us for a long time about his show and how he's glad he was able to help us make friends by making us stand in line for so long.

Yay! We love him.

Stapp's Ironical Paradox

A few interesting facts about Stapps (that sorta rhymed...lol):


"The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle."
-Colonel John Paul Stapp, a pioneer in studying the effects of acceleration and deceleration forces on humans. He was pretty amazing....check him out.

Elbert "Babe" Stapp was an American racecar driver in the 1920's and 1930's. Stapp's finishes from 1927 – 1938 rank as the worst ten-race finishing streak in Indy 500 history.

"Walking behind the Stapp family brings good luck while fishing."
-An old Chinese proverb by Rachel Stapp


Why did I ever decide to be an art major? It's so hard, stressful, and time consuming....but I love it. Today my plans are: Take pictures in the freezing cold, then try and come up with 60 more designs for a logo for a desert/reptile/art exhibit, and then study all night for my art history test....and I'm so excited! I just have to keep reminding myslef that even if I don't get it all perfect, it's all about personal growth.....not the grade.....even though good grades do help ;)

My Boot. A Low Key assignment.

Kay, so this was taken a few days ago....so there is a lot more snow now. Now it's higher than the railing. Imagine trying to climb up those stairs before they shovel them...on sunday.....in church dress....not fun.

My outfit for an 80's date! The D.I. is amazing :)
