Done, Done and {GO} to the next

She is wonderfully done! Yeah! Here are the final pictures of OctoMermaid named Pisces! The details, especially her eyes soften and create an inviting image. Enjoy!


Angles of her tentacles! Ping pong balls were used as the suction cups!

Three other groups designed, and made critters- these are there products! A bug like thing, a green monster thing, and a weird thing! Ours is just pretty!
Today: It was amazing! Successful! I went for a walk! Yeah, GO! I had no expectation other than to just GO. And that is what I did with my ipod in pocket! I did it. We went to visit Victoria Performing Arts School today finishing at 11am- so I zipped over to work for the rest of the day.
Work is a comforting environment with 4 exceptional gals. At first I thought I would need to run off and find another job, but not so- Wendy is willing to provide me with as much work as I'd like, continuing into a possible full-time position just for the summer. Right now, 5 months feels like a long way away- so I'm not going to worry about summer. Although it is half way through January! Where did the month go? GO.... GO.... GO.....
Yesterday: After an amazing day at school- Yes, amazing! I am so impressed with my art class, not as much for the professor or the material, but for the peer relations. The individuals in the class are just like me- interested in environmental impact, save EVERYTHING because it has potential for the next GREAT project, have cats {but mine is the only one not here- so sad}, think about where the world is going, what an individuals artist representation of their narrative life may be, just everything....we can chat for hours. This is the first time since starting the University of Alberta that I have found this type of community. The other oddity is that my professor is REAL. She has real GO- and realistic views of us as students, as teachers, and especially as artists.
Last night, Kya and I jetted off to West Edmonton Mall for dinner, a walk {in the mall to stay out of the cold} and then to a movie. We saw Dan in Real Life, and both of us enjoyed the romantic comedy. We were tired following our adventure, but good to be out and doing. Go Girls!
Three strong days in a row and it is only Wednesday! Go week!

Thats just awesome Amber.
One question?
Who gets your critter when this is all over? Please don't volunteer to bring her home.

Ha ha ha- no I don't want to try and fit her into my car. We are looking for a place to donate her- maybe a childrens' something.
