So since I am done with High School....

I thought, "Hey, let's make a compilation of my art work!", since now I have extra time on my hands.

Before I show you my art work I wanted to take a quick moment to reflect on High School and my personal experience.

First off, thank you to my wonderful teachers for guiding me through different subjects and expanding my knowledge. Thank you dear friends for making life interesting and showing me I am not too socially awkward. Least but not least, thank you to my family and boyfriend for supporting me and dealing with all my crazy. 

This may be the most cliche thing to say, but I wish I did more things in High school, I wish I joined more clubs and challenged myself in more difficult classes. I feel obligated to tell all the kids that are coming in from homeschooling into public schooling to just get out there and get involved. At first I thought I couldn't do anything because I was home-schooled, I thought I was behind on everything. WRONG. Most homeschooling curriculum is actually a year or two ahead, I learned that the hard way. If you are uncertain, take placement tests! Don't let anyone push you around and make you feel like you should take lower classes because you weren't raised in their system.

Don't be intimidated that everyone seems to have a ton of friends, just join as many activities as possible, be nice, be respectful, be yourself, and friends will follow. NEVER pick on people, do onto others as you would have them do onto you. Only good karma here. 

If you ever get bullied like I did, just ignore them; I know this is SO hard to do when it is happening to you... But if you just stay kind and happy, people will see that you are a good person and will leave you alone... or you'll attract a group of great friends. If you are STILL picked on... like me. Stand your ground. Don't let people push you around, you can still be nice yet strong; it takes practice, but it will pay off in the future. Never let things like that go too far, I'm not saying to freak-out at everything but if something makes you feel uncomfortable, TELL SOMEONE... preferably an adult you trust.

Work hard! A teacher will be more willing to help you if they see you working hard, don't try to act cool and slack off just to impress the wrong people; school is much more important and useful than whether or not the 'cool kids' think you're cool too.

Always be yourself, always be kind. Don't involve yourself in drama or anything else you don't want to do. You are you, no one can change that.

Okay, I think I'm done with my rant... for now.

Here is some of my artwork, it's not a lot... but I like to take my time on things... you'll see why.
I LOVE details, I find it so hard to start a project because I want to start on details right away.
Most of my work is conceptual... I love to hear what people think about my stuff, I feel as though thoughts are more than half of the piece.
This is not even close to all of my work... just everything I had pictures of at the moment.
I throw a lot of things away if I think they are a waste of space... I don't like to be held down by work that I don't really like... there are a few pieces that I kept that aren't very good at all, I have them as a reminder that a rush job hardly ever makes anything good. (it's pretty apparent what those pieces are).

First lets get 2D out of the way since I am not very good at it. I don't seem to have enough patience to sit down and slowly hack away at a drawing. 

Yes it's suppose to be upside down

Here is my 3D art.... I love working with tactical things, its easier for me to understand.

 And a little bit of sewing! I miss sewing.

I taught myself how to drape with this project

Made from old jeans and scrap fabric/other materials 

Nothing except the thread used to sew it together was new.

All recycled! 

Have a wonderful day~
