I made a necklace the other night. Im very pleased with it. I have had the beads sitting on top of my desk for quite sometime now and it feel so good to finally put them to use. I have every intention of wearing it this weekend. It has been so long since I last managed to squeeze in some art time, its like a breathe of fresh air to have utilized some of my creative energy again. (picture soon!)
I am also in the middle of working on a design manual for green roofs. WOW has it been a long time since I busted out some solid layout design work. I forgot how much I loved it, how I wanted to make a career out of it....why it was that I thought being an art major would be a good idea. Well, you cant rewrite what has already happened, but at the moment, I am very open to the idea of rekindling that career path. There is this adrenaline rush I get from it all. Maybe I'll link it, or parts of it up when it is done next week. It has been so long since I have done work like this I just feel the urge to share it with people...receive feedback...progress in a positive direction. Actually, it is really making me want to head back to the box of old books in my closet, where my dusty old yearbook from senior year of high school lays. When that book came off the press I could not look at it I was so annoyed with the drama that surrounded its creation. But now, so many years later, with a renewed love for design, I think its the perfect time to pull it out and rediscover my accomplishments in layout design.
