Awake!

Awake, thou wintry earth -
Fling off thy sadness!
Fair vernal flowers, laugh forth
Your ancient gladness!
~Thomas Blackburn


awake.. I have been considering naming my project awake.  After a long talk with Tessa last Thursday i began really thinking about the word and the real reason for my senior project. I asked a few people what first comes to mind when they hear the word AWAKE and of course awaking from sleep is the primary answer. Which is exactly what i was looking for because spring is exactly that, it is the inevitable end of winter where all those animals and plants who have hibernating through the long dreary winter have finally been given a glimpse of hope that soon life will be bright again and the land will return to its bountiful abundance of life!

Hello Old Friend!

Hello there I want to apoligize for neglecting you it seems I got caught in the drab of winter but dont worry because I can finally see the grass, the clocks have leaped forward, the sun is begining to shine and if we cross our fingers and say our prayers I almost think it might possibly be that SPRING HAS SPRUNG AND LIFE IS BEGINING TO BLOOM! and on that note I wanna catch you up to what ive been doing..believe me I have been busy! my camera is full of the most beautiful plants you would die to see, my schools art room is cramped with paintings and sculptures made from every type of medium from clay to tin foil! oh and my house the basement ceiling is draped in hanging dried roses which i guess is better that the 3ft by 3ft flower made from a chair that absolutly dominating my living room! but I love it and I am so excited to share some pictures with you.
