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. :)

Copycat!

In sculpture, we had to make a mold off of an object and then pour wax in that mold to make a copy of our object. It was hard! I don't think I did too shabby. :) The big dent in the front is because I pushed on it too hard before it was cool. :(

Another Recycling Project

I made two Vintage earrings into a pendant. Pretty, huh? :)

Recycling Is Fun!

I took old Vinyl Records and made them into bracelets. :)

Pendant Versions of Our Art!

Marko and mine's digital art is now wearable! :)

Mine!

I SHOULD be getting my Final ready, BUT...

...the buttons were talking to me! They wanted to be made into something! I mean...look at them! They're so bright and...colorful! I think I want to make the rats collars out of tiny buttons!!

Latest and Not-So-Greatest

Hey, guys!

Here's my final for Design II. I wish I would have spent more time on it, but that came with changing my project idea so far in. I've really gotta stop doing that...

Bet you can't guess the theme to my "Theme Collage". ;)



I also made two pieces for my shop, Ashelindin Productions (www.etsy.com/shop/ashelindin) tonight. :)




Now to start doing things that feel like work. :( Booo finals! More to come...I swear! :)
