So I have just recently gotten back from Argentina and Antarctica! I got a lot of great pictures during my travels and hope to get them up soon. I also have some new poetry in the works, so that will be up soon as well. I also still have some pictures from Svalbard that I was planning on posting as well.

Thanks to anyone who has favorited my works over the last couple of months! It is very much appreciated! :D

I have also finally gotten pictures of my remaining animal sculptures (although not the best pictures, I admit). All I need to do is put them together and those should be up soon as well.

~Takk

So much going on...

I did spend most of my summer in Norway and Svalbard, which was amazing! I have now become slightly obsessed with polar studies and the animals that live there. I have put up some of the pictures that I took while I was there. However, I have a new computer and did not transfer photoshop so its hard to format some of the things...

In more exciting news, I'm going to Antarctica over my Winter Break for 3 weeks. YAY! My photographic skills have improved witht the borrowing of my father's digital camera with all the different lenses. There should be some good ones coming out of that trip!

I plan on going home soon and getting pictures of my other sculptures, so those should also be up soon as well.

excellent teacher, lover of animals, battle against cancer


On a happier note,
I have found out that I am going to Norway this summer and on up to Svalbard to study for three weeks. Very exciting.

I still plan on re-doing the exploded giraffe. I will probably paint a lot of my pieces and finish constructing the walrus so that i can get it up here. Anyone have any tips on good wood to use to carve out some tusks?

-FINALLY I have got all the pictures that I took from England/Scotland up on my computer and let me tell you, they look pretty awesome! I'll probably put them up over the up coming spring break.

-Still haven't done anything with painting my clay pieces...or anything with clay for that matter. Sorry for anyone that is waiting for them!

-I am thinking about trying to redo a piece that exploded in the kiln last year. Its a 12 in giraffe stuffed animal with a fez, patches, and buttons. Yes, I know that sounds strange, but anyone that saw it before it died knew how cute it was. After it blew up, I proceeded to make a pig stuffed animal/piggy bank in another class. Unfortunately, I grossly underestimated the size that both the top opening had to be and the bottom hole. Oh well, I guess it can just be a penny bank. Its still really cute though!

Its definately exam time at school! Too much to do, so i haven't had much time to edit any of my stockpiles of photos from various trips. I did find out that I might be doing a study abroad in Antarctica! Although the science part of it sounds like fun, I'm so much more excited to see the beautiful scenery (and play with some penguins!).

Since its almost the end of the semester, I plan on going home and taking pictures of some of my most recent work from clay class (although i can't do it anymore now that I have college stuff). I also plan on finishing up the paint job on my okapi. Finally, right? So I guess you can look forward to that!

-Kia Ora Everybody!
