For actual jewelry class I have these sketches for the iVote project which is to make a pin about an issue and persuade the viewer of one side of the issue. I missed the persuasion part and came up with the "Moldy Vote" pin commenting on how half of all registered voters don't vote and those that do tend to be in their early forties. Some states even have made getting an absentee ballot even easier to try to encourage more voters (it's not working by the way). Design wise I like the middle left one and was going to incorporate a rattle in it, using it to symbolise a death rattle.
In lighter news I have been researching up on the newspaper comic strip Krazy Kat for my digital presentations methods class. In that class we are starting out by designing and making a chair in Google Sketchup which is quite a fustrating program if you have knowledge of any other CAD program. There's a couple nifty tools but there's a lot more I'm missing from Rhino.
Anyways by reading this and this book on Krazy Kat I finally understand why the strip is so well regarded, as fine art even, plus I found some strips I enjoy/like the art in:
All this Southwestern U.S. art research is because I've designed a geometric southwesty looking chair like the background mesas in Krazy Kat and needed the justification. I don't have a spendiferous screenshot of the chair I have mostly made in Google Sketchup but it is based on this chair by Garry Knox Bennett:
Finally to continue my posting of noises, sounds and music I like (or in this case have fond memories of) have this:
Also a remix by some one else:
Ahh young enough to have trouble remembering the world before the internet, yet old enough to remember the horrible noise made by the 56k modem as it dialed, and being unable to use both the phone and the internet at the same time. Strange how "nice" the sound has become through nostalgia even though we all hated it at the time.
