I have a new job, which would explain my lack of journal entries. It's been a long time since I enjoyed my job so much. I build frames for a local frame shop, and it is so rewarding. Not only do I get to make the frames, but I also get to see so many different art pieces. Some of the pieces that have come through are so hard to let go back to their owners. Plus, my co-workers feel like family, so it's a very comfortable and lax atmosphere.
I start fall semester at SLCC next Wednesday. By December I will have my Associates Degree.
I bought the cutest book from the farmer's market. This woman buys up old books from the 50's and 60's and takes them apart, takes all but a few of the pages out, and reassembles them with a new spiral binding and blank pages - all to make unique nostalgic journals. The one I bought was 'Enchanted Isles,' with illustrations of pirates, mermaids, and jungle animals. I hate to write in it because it's such a work of art, but I'm using it to practice my illustrations and new handwritings.
