I started on a new saddle tonight. I’m trying out some new techniques with it. I’m happy with how even the dye came out and how the leather types cause a nice color contrast. Every piece of art goes through an ugly phase, but this particular saddle’s ugly phase is especially revolting. Hopefully that means it’ll turn out really nice?
My day started at a stage. Months ago I was invited to see Avenue Q, since it was being performed near me. I had no idea about it, other than it was funny and it involved puppets. I did laugh.
I’m done for the summer! Yay to horses, plastic pony escapades, and reading!
I knew that pursuing this field would be hard, but I really didn’t rationalize what that meant. During my whole school career I’ve been very lucky in the amount of effort I needed to exert to excel. After the first few weeks I realized I had to cut down on all of my usual activities.
Going from being able to read material once to now having to reread it and ask questions was an adjustment.
I was dramatic in this way:
NaMoPaiMo was in February and my goal was to finally finish it. And I did!
I bought a saddle. Which is exciting.
The last thing is something I’ve notified the correct channels weeks ago, but haven’t announced publicly. I’m not going to Breyerwest. I was so honored and excited to be asked to run a workshop and hang out with awesome people, but school is taxing and time consuming and I realized that it would be irresponsible to take off so many days. Everything is in order–the workshop is covered–I just won’t be running it. Hopefully one day I can make it to Breyerwest, but this year isn’t going to happen. For those going–please take plenty of photos!
