The Day of Doom is Coming...

And by that I mean school is about to start up again. That is not to say I do not enjoy or value learning, but school really does cut into my crafting and reading time. In a week I begin my fourth year at UNM. It looks like it will be a busy one, but I am fairly certain I will be able to graduate at the end of it. I am not quite sure what I will do next, though I would like to continue studying in at least some sense. I took the idealistic route and chose majors without regards to a future career, so now I am on a quest to figure out what to do with myself.

As for Dragon in Knots news, I found my old collection of quotes from high school and started writing down some new ones, so I have commenced making promotional bookmarks using various hand-picked amusing, inspiring, and elegant quotes. I figure their usefulness will make them more appealing than standard business cards. Also, the choice of quotes will give people a tiny insight into my personality, which might peak enough interest so they will come a check out the shop. Or at the very least, I will have the satisfaction of having provided
an object of utility to them. The first batch has just been sent out to KunkleBaby to be given out at her next craft show.

Since my previous origami mobiles were mostly pastel, I finally made one that is a little more eye-catching: the Polka Dot Chain of Cranes. I think it is adorable, but it is not for the faint of heart...

My last bit of news for today is that I started experimenting with ACEOs. My first two, Puppy Love (pen and colored pencil) and France for the First Time (pen), are pictured here. I will have to ponder what to do with them.
