Just keep swimming,,,just keep swimming...

I have been working on my portraits the last couple days, so I should soon have something to show!   I switched from basic sketch paper to nicer paper today, which requires a bit of an adjustment with the charcoal!  Thanks to my family and friends for allowing me to use their albums and photos to practice with :). It gives me much variety as opposed to staring at my own photos on hours ends!   I also am excited, because I found a new set of chalk pastels with both grey tones and skin tones for inexpensive price, so I can start incorporating color instead of only B&W!   

Still no job offers, or responses.  I thought I had two potentials however no initial response or response to my inquiries :(.    Still sending in two or three resumes a week!  Soon though ill start driving around the area with resumes.  Here's to hoping!

Officially done

I received my diploma!  School is officially done.  I have been applying to jobs with no luck, will be getting my fb page up soon thought to hopefully sell my work.  I just completed a project for my sister in law!   Part of my moving forward in health and over all life is trying to forgive and forget, and hope she complies.   Will post pics tomorrow!  Knitting and crocheting is a relaxing form of art for me ( unless I hit knots and spend hours untying before I can continue the project). I also embroider and somewhat sew.   A new project ill be working on soon-is another tshirt quilt !  I feel these types of art are 3d concrete forms of working through my anger anxieties ( insert emotion here).  Embroidery is also like painting with thread.   The images words and colors all match what I need to express.
