Exhibition Night!!

The exhibition had a lot more guests than I thought it would! (I also thought I'd be one of the few who actually invited their parents...)

Sadly, I was an idiot and forgot my camera... But it was fun to show my parents what we've been doing all semester. They really seemed to enjoy the clay characters the best. ^_^

I think my baby nephew enjoyed the show, too, but not for the art... He got a kick out of flirting with all the ladies! :D

(BTW, the look on my dad's (who could usually be described as a proper gentleman...) face when he saw Brian's "washroom" video, and the "orgy under the blanket" video was HILARIOUS!! XD )

Stencil

Took me a lot of tries to come up with something that looked OK, so by the time I did, my stencil looked like CRAP!!! :^(

AND THEN PAINT FROM THE STENCIL GOT ONTO MY CARDBOARD. UGH.

Mark Making Device

My Hair!! :D No, actually not ":D" .... It was a pain to clean out of my hair, and I had to have a friend help me get all the braids out... :/ Oh, and never try the "windmill" with clothespins tied to the end of your hair. Just a heads-up.

BTW, Thanks Meredith; I stole the picture from you!

I'm not sure I actually liked how my marks came out, since they weren't anywhere near as bold as other people's.
