project

ok - so my theme for accumulation was 'hair' and how it represents our appearance- and appearance is like a prison- its part of us- something we cannot excape- and it creates stigma for us- people judge us initally by appearance-thats just life and no matter how much we want to escape what our looks create for us- there's little we can do about it- and not only that- but hair- carries our own history- the history of who we are- which can come from how we look... so my original project was to be a doll- with my hair attached to her- and forming a dress down her whole body- it would represent that our hair creates our beauty- but the braids around her body and wrists would represent the prison part of appearance- the way we are trapped by how we look- however, i did not like the way the doll came out- it was extremely messy and hard to make and the result was not the neatest so i made one more project

which is simpy a silouette of a woman who looks like she is struggling against an invisible force- and the locks of hair around her make her beautiful but also trapped- either way- i wanted to show that hair and appearances are both a blessing and a curse- its too bad we cannot escape the judgements that come with how we look... :(

i've decided!

ok so i am totally changing my accumulation to hair now- am i wishy washy? lol-YES!
but i dont care- anyways- so i think ill somehow transfer a picture of myself? (so it'll be personal? altho i would like to do a painting...)to a canvas and attach hair to it in layers- and make like my hair the hair- lol-AND use like my dog hair for the skin tones since hes cream and beige- and ill like dye and color the hair for the colored parts and make the thing like 3d- so id layer the hair up - you know- like rounded mounds on the cheeks and stuff- hmmmmmm not sure.....

changing my project!

so i want to change my project - i hope it's ok? i just accumulate SO MUCH HAIR around my house cuz my hair is so freakin long and it sheds worse than the dog's - and since im constantly cleaning it up or seeing little piles of it everywhere i really feel like i should be saving it and doing somethin with it- its funny because years ago i tried to sew somethin with a hair after my friend said how thick it was- lol- so maybe i can do something else with it now......
i'm so indecisive....

um- so i just left class and i am feelin like my project is really shallow and literal- but i still like it so im keeping it!

so i think i may change my accumulation project because my hair is ridiculously long and i am gettin it cut soon- and i really want to save my hair because ive always had long hair my entire life- and it is one part of me that people always comment on - and because its so dark and think i think it is an interesting 'thing' - and i wonder if i could paste is and glue it and apply it to canvas to make a pretty picture- o- and i could dye it so it would be colored- its sounding pretty interesting so far........

identity

well my identity project seems pretty straightforward and almost literal?
i dont think im going very deep but i dont feel like i need to be deep all the time- i seem to enjoy humor and cute things and dont necessarily like to be too complex - not that i dont have my moments of dark and brooding deepness but for the most part im just out there-....

in the beginning.....

so i guess i will blog about the start of my project!
so im collecting dryer lint - i thought it would be a cool generic thing to collect- something people throw away anyways- and i often thought to myself that it looks cool wheni empty it and throw it away- like its really soft and sometimes there's cool colors in it - also- its kind of like a raw material - like wool or something? so i figured i would have a lot of possibilities for projects! i hope- as of right now im thinking of making a quilt or something? but we'll see.....
