So here I am, hiding out in the science library, pretending to read about bacteriophage and their genomes and life cycles (will I ever, ever graduate?) and it is time to post some pictures of my newest artistic endeavors, since I have given up on posting stuff in chronological order...Since we decided to not go anywhere over the winter holidays (I calculated that visiting both sets of parents would set us back about $2,500), I had one of my many "I really really don't feel like going to lab today" which extended into a week of full-time artwork. It was quite a revelation. I worked almost full-time and managed to finish four projects I have been dawdling with for years (literally, the years, not the dawdling, after all I do have a sort of full-time job, underpaid, and not called a job as it is... oh grad school har-dee-har-har).
So here they are: #1, my dad calls it 'Eve', for reasons quite obvious, I guess. I started the doll in the summer of 2004... By 2006 it was attached to the board... and then the tree drove me crazy for quite some time, quite the example of upcycling it is: wire coat hangers, my sister's old sweater, tissue paper, it's all in there held together by, you guessed it, magic. So finally, armed with a drill and some epoxy glue, the tree was attached, the berries were in place, the last paint touch-ups were done, and I washed my hands of this one.
