jessthevagabond asked: Hey, is there anyway you can borrow the money from your family for the deposit and then just take out student loans or something? That opportunity in NY sounds too awesome to pass up on.

This is a longshot
but I’m asking anyone who’s willing to help, to check out my store http://sylvita.etsy.com and see if there’s anything I can make for them. As I mentioned before, I got into an art residency in NY, however I don’t want to make the $1,000 deposit (which is due tomorrow) if I’m not even sure if I can raise the Tuition money by June. So I’m trying to raise $1,000...

Hola
Just got back from a relaxing day spent in west LA at my sister’s place. My younger sis and I drove over last night so that we could stay up late to watch the Royal Wedding (cuz we had nothing better to do) and have tea and donuts (we were thinking crumpets, but we figured we’d Americanize it). Well, all three of us ended up passed out on the couch by 1am because we’re lame...
:(
I feel stupid for thinking it was possible in the first place
It's about time I started feeling stressed again
So, I got into a summer residency program at the School of Visual Arts in New York. I am excited but also nervous. That’s because I have until May 1st to pay the deposit, and I’m just realizing that I only have enough money saved up to cover the housing, travel and food. The tuition is a whole other story. Let’s just say I can only cover half the entire cost.

I clean up goooood
Before:
After:
A friend of mine gave me a free haircut today, all I had to do was be her model for a class and let her do what she wanted with it. All one length and it’ll probably shrink when I leave it natural. I love it! Good thing I’m not attached to my hair because I saw one guy (model) who I guess was giving the stylists a hard time. What is with guys and their hair?

30 Day song challenge Day 2: Least favorite song
Day 2, least favorite song. This song is tedious and boooooorrinnngg. Why Interpol? I guess I felt it was more fair to choose a band I actually like (or in this case, liked) than to pick an artist I really don’t know anything about.

Where I'm at
Just checking in to the blog to say “Howdy”.
Things have been pretty good lately. I’ve felt less stressed out and more productive. Still working on the etsy store, so that’s coming along :)
I’m also looking at some summer art residency programs to apply to… so yeah! Looking forward to seeing how that might go!
Other than that, I’ve been practicing...

My first stamps
Just thought I’d share the first stamps I ever carved. They were xmas gifts for two of my friends who love FOTC (I’m a huge fan myself)
If I ever met Jack White,

At first I’d be all:
And then I’d realise what was happening and be like:
And he’d be super cool:
Then after he’d gone I’d go home and remember like:
And in sixty years I’d brag to my grandchildren:
For me, this would also go for “if I ever met Beck”, except somewhere in the middle you’d have this:
Blueprints: Mushroom Crochet Patterns Volume 1 -... →
blueprintcraft:
How cute are these mushrooms? If you don’t think they’re adorable … then I don’t know if we could ever be friends.
Just kidding (sort of).
But I think they’re adorable! One problem … the pattern isn’t free. I’m waiting on my next paycheck or a moment of impulse to purchase this from Etsy…
