Sarah’s Creative Journey

I found these recently while going through some of my art stuff.  I made them my sophomore year of college for color and design class.  There seems to be a lot of color, but not a lot of time spent.   However, I still learned a bit from doing them and looking back at them I can pick up on other things. 

1.  Found an old blue shirt.   2. Turned it inside out. 3. Folded it hot dog style. 4. Cut the sleeve into a fin shape. (Save the scraps!) 5. Stapled sleeve and top part of shirt. 6. Stuffed the sleeve and finished stapling to the bottom of the shirt. 7.  Used sleeve scraps to act as "guard" in mouth to keep stuffing from falling out. 8. Stapled mouth  9. Stuffed the shark. Now it looks kinda like this. 10. Stapled tail. 11. Cut one sleeve scrap in half and used for side fins.  12.  Added googley eyes and sharpie for teeth and gills.  DONE!

Bittersweet and strange Finding you can change Learning you were wrong

Take life by the horns.  Go out there and just do it.  Don't let other people control your life.  Let them influence you, but only in a positive way.  Take things with a grain of salt.  Never be bored or tired of searching.  Life is searching and learning and striving for new opportunities.  Remember everyone is only pretending they know what to do.  You will figure out everything you are faced with in due time.  Everything happens for a reason.  Take advantage of the present that is given to you.  Be glad and happy that the past has happened.  Live with no regrets.  Wipe that dirt off your shoulders.  Everyone gets hurt sometimes.  But it's how we deal with it that matters.  So don't let life get you down.  Lift life up over your head and be strong.  Ignite that light inside you.  See it.  Believe it.  Share it with others. You are strong. You are unique. You are beautiful. ...
