Routine 

Routine Is a Panorama that I created in which I invite my audience to intrude into my everyday. As a student the majority of my time is spent either at home or at school. I wanted to create a seamless panorama of my home and my school, Cal State University Fullerton. My goal was to create a fluid transition from these two distant locations to serve as a metaphor for routine or the mundane. I used photoshop to merge the 10 photographs that make up Routine. I was important for me to photograph these distinct locations at the same time of day to add to the fluidity. The roads and my speeding car in the foreground also add to the fluidity and to the theme of routine. 

Assignment for Digital Studio class, this was my favorite panorama, its so vibrant and subtle. The transition of quiet daily life to fast paced school with the contrast of the cars :) nice nice good job my friend. 

I got BORED so I cut this out. ^-^

The Truth of History, North American Indians, Hidden History, The Death of the Great Spirit, An Introduction to Native North America.

These books rest on the backs of the Natives who are in educational institutions, what we fight against and to change.

history is not hidden.

Maybe you CAN’T. So don’t assume anything~!

Use cereal boxes to make little gift boxes:

Dip a box or gift bag in confetti

After wrapping your present, cover one end in double-stick tape and dip it in confetti. Glitter would work too, although your friend or loved one might not forgive you if it means they’ll be covered in it for the rest of their earthly days. This idea comes from Tokketok.

Hand-print fabric for gift wrap that can be used over and over again:

All supplies can be found at your local craft store. And if you don’t feel like carving your own stamp, any stamp will do! You will need: rubber blocks, a carving tool, fabric, (size is up to you, mine is 29″ squared) a brayer, and block printing ink. Carving is pretty easy, and makes for a nice craft to do at night while watching TV. Draw out your desired image, and with a pencil, lightly press on your image, that is laying on the rubber block, to make the imprint. Next, use your carving tool to carve away excess rubber, leaving your image raised. Also, make sure your fabric is washed, dried, and ironed before printing.

Squeeze some ink onto a paper plate. You don’t need much. Take your brayer, and using a little force, roll it into the ink, coating the whole brayer. There should be a nice, coated, yet thin layer of ink on the whole roll. Lightly apply the ink onto your stamp. It is always good to test print before you start printing on your final fabric piece! Press down on the stamp with your palm, for a more even application. Don’t be worried if the stamped image isn’t solid, this is what makes it beautiful, the imperfections, and slight differences of each individual print.

Once you are done printing, leave your fabric to dry for a few hours. When it is dry to the touch, iron to set the ink. I decided to sew my edges of the fabric, but it would be just as nice to leave the edges raw! When it comes to wrapping your gift, have fun with it! There is no wrong way. Place your gift in the middle of the fabric, and take opposite corners, and tie them, then take the other two corners, and do the same. And there you have it, a unique gift for the mom to be. The printing part of this project took less than an hour, and clean up is easy.  Just rinse everything, (rubber stamp included) under water and pat dry.  What a unique, thoughtful gift for a friend…a job whale done!

hahaa RIGHT
