(: Our university is supposed to have a decent (bordering on nice!) art program. <BR/><BR/>I'm really excited about the transfer because they offer glassblowing and metalworking and ceramic courses there.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00589086099217589255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2011057211444166014.post-77545462663346358572008-10-20T08:29:00.000-07:002008-10-20T08:29:00.000-07:00I really like the antique look.

I'm considering studying art - right now I'm just getting my associate's degree in liberal arts at the community college to transfer to the university, though, and they don't offer general ed art classes at the campus in my county. <BR/><BR/>I considered attempting to dual-degree and work on two degrees, one in liberal art and one in graphic design, but any of the graphic design classes I could have taken wouldn't count at all toward my general ed, so the rigorous idea just wasn't at all possible.<BR/><BR/>Look at me babbling about myself in your comment box!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00589086099217589255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2011057211444166014.post-11539676363260513052008-10-10T07:04:00.000-07:002008-10-10T07:04:00.000-07:00Hi Bev, Sometimes it's the only way to get things...Hi Bev, Sometimes it's the only way to get things done!

Fun to see how others work. I can totally relate to finding time to make something new! My "to-do" list is full of anything but something new. Maybe I'll just do what you did and "Just Do IT". IT = something new. Nice post.<BR/>BevRing by Ring Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17281665388007536497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2011057211444166014.post-90440732487204433612008-10-09T21:26:00.000-07:002008-10-09T21:26:00.000-07:00Hi Alexa, My hands are such a mess right now that ...Hi Alexa, My hands are such a mess right now that I don't even do PMC project submissions, because I'd never be able to shoot the step-outs. Argh. I think this is the beauty of metal clay - you don't need a lot of technical knowledge to get a reasonable result. At this point, I'm dying to acquire more metalworking skills and learn lost wax casting, but I'm afraid it's going to have to wait until the SO is in school...<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Amanda! I seem to recall that you are a student. Are you studying art right now? Do you love it??Melissa J.

And no one should be laughing at your draft sketches - first off, they're rather good for someone without formal training, especially since they're of something that doesn't exist in real-life for you to reference, and the style is PERFECT for a piece of jewelry. Imo, it is a fabulous balance of something simple and, at the same time, intricate.abmyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02345761513844178765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2011057211444166014.post-5817867982081862082008-10-09T20:24:00.000-07:002008-10-09T20:24:00.000-07:00I'd love to see a video on your process.
