All things considered, I suppose I’m doing well. That doesn’t mean anything objective, however; last night I experienced symptoms of the beginning of a depressive episode. But given everything that’s been happening, the fact that it wasn’t more extreme, and that it is less severe today, is something to be glad about. I have personallyContinue reading “Daily Reflection: #002 — Respite”

Yeah…maybe I kind of love design.
I was able to start reworking the design practice piece that fell apart in my last post. I’m not referring to the black and fuchsia set that I photographed; I’m referring to the green and topaz set that broke as I was making it. I didn’t photograph it — it isn’t a habit of mineContinue reading “Yeah…maybe I kind of love design.”
Doing what I want to do
I am, bit by bit, getting used to getting back to the computer and not associating it with classwork. Granted that I did do some reading today, for class: I just stopped at the end when it was starting to get into a giant infodump, as these books tend to do. I wasn’t in theContinue reading “Doing what I want to do”
Routine Log #6: Deeper Into Design
I’m guessing, at this point, that this is going to be a relatively informal post. I started to write it to my regular blog (kodecy), but in all seriousness, I’ve been posting most of my beadwork information to this one. Unfortunately for my readers, I have not been comfortable enough yet to take pictures ofContinue reading “Routine Log #6: Deeper Into Design”
Brainstorming
Right now, I’m writing — partially — because I don’t know what to do with myself. It’s not that there aren’t things to do; it’s that, well, I’ve spent the last two weeks, intensely studying difficult material. This was to the detriment of almost everything else: including my writing, self-care, cooking, and care of theContinue reading “Brainstorming”
Cosas importantes y cosas que no son importantes
Beadwork and writing — two of my most beloved crafts — are taking a back seat to the more pressing question of self-sufficiency and personal financial independence. I have decided on a career path, finally; but what place do these things I now call, “hobbies,” have in my life?
Routine Log #5: Back on the horse
A general update describing getting back to work on jewelry, and the surrounding literary work in the life of the author.
Precision
A preexisting disposition to high precision may be an underrated orientation in art. I’ve found, however, that this path can relate unexpectedly peaceful experiences to its wielder…
New projects: Bee earring pair, completed. NFS.
The author describes part of the experience of having designed and made a set of beaded earrings for the holidays.
Changing scale
I…am terribly tired. I’m not sure it’s at all related to the fact that I have slept so much within the last two days. I ended up dropping my Computer Science course. There was essentially no way I could complete it, and even though I am more focused on learning than grades, at this point;Continue reading “Changing scale”
