The Anna Luna Valentine's Day TRADE GAME

Feb 14, 2008 01:03



I spent a lot of time yesterday trying to make origami roses with my brother for his girlfriend. (With mixed results. We finally came to the conclusion that that guy isn't an origami artist, but rather a magician... that rose comes from *nowhere*! We made three amorphous cubes that I should have photographed...)Since I don't have a significant ( Read more... )

I will trade you a compliment!

I love your art so much.

I have a compliment back... which I've actually meant to give you for a while, but it's kind of big and cheesy, so I'm been keeping it to myself...

Anyway: Reading "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose" helped me realize what I wanted to do with my life after I graduated.

Until I read it, I had thought that in the future I would have to work for a a company. I was incredibly unhappy during my practicum (I don't know the right word, that time while you are in the university and have to do 8 weeks of work experience before graduating), where I sat in an office and contemplated the fact that maybe I had studied the wrong thing.

And then I read it and I realized that the joy of discovery and investigation didn't have to stop, that I could do research. And that made me very happy ( ... )

That's one of the most awesome things anyone's said to me, and it's not cheesy at all. Thank you. :) ♥

:D I thought you should know but I didn't know how to bring it up... and then you gave me an excuse... ♥

Your complement was awesome too. That is actually a description of my creative process: First I realize that I want to draw a scene. Then I draw the thing that made me want to draw it and then I fill in all the other details. I'm very glad that you noticed.

It's awesome! There's all this detail waiting there to be discovered in the background. *g*
