VERY IMPORTANT-For Labels

Everyone should make a list of titles and materials/mediums for the labels so that those can get done and be ready for print and foam core application during the week of opening

updates

My glass case is giving me problems, I've tried so many glues and the base is not staying on. Hopefully I find something that works and soon. For my wax project I just keep dripping, I plan on taking it home for thanksgiving.

Final update?

I am officially finished with my work!! I completed my last drawing this week and now can start putting them into the frames.

This week's artist is from Voiron, France and she goes by the name of Sandrine Replat. She is a freelance artist who works in illustration and graphic design. Many of her designs almost have a Tim Burton theme to them with dark, fantasy, elements added.

Progress

I reshot Belle this past weekend.  I have managed to edit all of the princess before Belle.  This week I am shooting Elsa and will have her image done by the end of this week.  I can't believe only a few weeks remain and am looking forward to seeing everyones final product.

14 days and counting....

Well, I feel good about my progress so far although I still have quite a bit left to do. it is hard to believe that we have only 2 weeks left! I have to concentrate on making very good use of my time.

About 75% done 

Just need to complete drawing on stone for initial printing. Then 2 more printing cycles.

Working on first color layer. Lighting is weird at my house.

Progress

I'm worried about my candle project. The wax keeps building up and I'm using white candles and it almost looks dirty... I don't know if it's because of the setup but I need feed back ASAP. The show is less than 2 weeks away! I also sanded the base of the case case again, it just hasn't been fitting together like I want it to and I need the glue to fit on in a tight fit. I'm just stressing out at this point, my mom keeps inviting people to the show so I'm getting more and more nerves!

Don't know if I would call it progress...

As it is now, I've added more songs so it extends the length of time you see each picture. Not sure if I like this. I can't figure out a way to cut the songs to keep them short without making really abrupt cuts to the music — which is not what I wanted to do anyway. I can, but I'd have to bridge the segments of music with a sound effect like a tape fast-forwarding which brings a whole new level of cheesyness to the project.

I think I would be remiss to not mention one of the first inspirations to me as far as photography goes. Obligatory or not, I've know about Ansel Adams work since I was in high school. His work at Yosemite NP is breathtaking and I've always approached images like these with a feeling of wonderment and have wanted to see these places for myself. I've studied some of his images at length and have tried to copy them when given the opportunity with some satisfaction. I do envy his use of a large format camera though. I do also like his opinion on the high demand for production as a fine artist. He is quoted as saying, "Twelve significant photographs in any one year is a good crop."
