Oh you know, just a Corgi...

As you know, I recently adopted a Corgi puppy. I've been painting a lot recently and I decided to paint a Corgi. I'm really happy with how it turned out! (I have a picture of the painting by itself, but it is now in a frame and in our living room).

Here's a DIY for ya: Journal!

One of my favorite things to do is make mod-podged journals and sketchbooks. I've had lots of people ask me how I do it, so I decided I'll post it on my blog! Here is your very own DIY journal!

What you'll need:

And here's what you do:

 

(When cutting out scrapbook paper, you can cut 

up different pages for variety of design. You can also cut out shapes such as hearts, flowers, stars, and even letters to put on your cover.)

 

It's that simple! 
Now just repeat steps on the other side of the sketchbook or journal, 
or you can just leave it blank.


Now, for this journal, I decided to make tabs on the inside for different cer. It was a little time consuming, but if you decide to do this as well, here's how:

Now that you've done it all, how about a look at the finished product?

And of course.... You just have to thank your buddy! :)

I love my major!

I love being an art major. Here are some of my recent projects in my 2D and 3D classes!

My wire project: Still have that soccer girl in me!

Our "box" project. I used a cage. I call it "Uncaged and Healed". Photography & Art, Theatre, Doctors, and of course my faith & Christ: these things have all helped me heal and get out of this "caged" feeling of trying to fit into the world and blend in. I am my own person. And it is well with my soul. It's not finished yet, but I thought I'd post the almost-final product!

Value painting. It was my first time working with acrylics and I definitely had no idea how difficult they are to work with! But I'm extremely pleased with how it turned out!

The life of an Art major.

So as you know, I'm a Graphic Design major. One of my favorite classes is Basic Drawing, which is my only 8:00 and it lasts THREE hours. Which is really long, but in reality, it isn't long enough. I can never finish my projects! But it is really great. I love the teacher and I LOVE the people in my class. These are just a few projects and assignments I've done so far.
