I have been feeling extremely, extremely inspired lately. I've been living on Etsy everyday, looking at other people's work and feeling really good about new ideas and plans!
I am going to take a break from doing a lot of paintings and probably expand on card-making, tiny portraits, stamps, stenciling, screenprinting and maybe some more art books. I feel like using some pastel watercolour's for simple pieces! and keep the bold, acrylic colours for huge paintings.
I think that I need to wait for a huge space to do another painting though. My tiny basement studio has been taken over by boxes and kitty litter, unfortunately. There just isn't much room to work. I definitely need to live with someone in May to cut rent/billz/groceries. Hoping a studio space comes with the living situation!! Beautiful.
I really just feel like staying inside forever, learning new techniques, making a whole ton of stuff and watching movies. I haven't felt like staying inside forever in a long time, but this feels positive. I don't want to get beerz, roam around, "dj", see the same things. I want a break! a productive one. some new time with myself!
I have been working so extremely hard for the stitch n' kitsch, trying to get everything organized and perfect. I am rounding things up! It's coming so quickly.. nearly 2 weeks away. But I am so so excited. I 100% love doing this. Plus, Kyle is a wonderful, wonderful help.
T-Shirts!!!:
Some extremely hot models came over to my apartment and now I've posted a couple photo's of them on my website.
hayleyschmalz.com There are oh-so many more shirts, with different colours. I am so so excited for their release because I am proud of them and I like the way my extremely attractive friends made them look.
I think that this weekend I will ditch global warming and go through a ton of old stuff, throw things out, drink tea, have good sleeps, and stay warm. I am staying home forever.
