My Summer...

...has been full of cakes, cakes, and MORE cakes. I got a job as a Cake Decorator at Wal-Mart (I may have mentioned it...I don't remember.) and I've been breathing, sleeping, and doing everything except EATING cake. Why? Why would anyone drown in the drama that is the cake booth? COMIC-CON! Yup! I'm heading there in just a few short weeks and I am SO PUMPED! Here's a few examples of cakes I've made. :)
















As for Art...I'm sad to say that it's taken a backburner as I've been saving for Comic-Con and working. I've been pulling 50 hour weeks at Wal-Mart and my day off is spent recovering and getting ready for the next 6 or 7 day stretch. I AM filling my idea bank, though. By the time the semester starts, I'll have so many sketches and ideas to work off of that it'll keep me going through the semester, at least! :) I'm feeling that smothering feeling that I believe all artists feel when they can't create, though. At this point, creating is such a huge part of me that it affects my mind and spirit. There's no turning back. I'm very happy with that fact, though. It makes me more certain with what I want to do. Being in the cake booth helps this craving, though. I don't always have to follow patterns. They let me do whatever I want quite often. :)

That's all for now. :) I made a zipper bracelet last night. :)
