Art Show & Spring Break

I just finished all my classes before spring break. I'm really excited to get a week off. College gets so overwhelming sometimes and it will be nice to be home. I miss my cats.

There's an EtsyVeg team chat tonight. I went to the last one and I thought it was fun, so I'm excited to participate in it again. I also got featured in an EtsyVeg treasury. Mine's the yellow journal towards the center.

I've been playing around with my twitter lately. I found these tools (click that link if you use twitter) and I never noticed you could so much with twitter. It's really just a site that allows you to mini blog/write updates, but you can get really advanced. It doesn't have to be with my shop, but I found this one tool called Dream Tweet where you can write down what you dreamt about and see other people's dreams. I also found a site where you can set it to automatically update twitter at a time you choose. Look out sometime in the next few days for a discount code for my twitter followers. ;)

If you see posts on my twitter replying to heaptweets, that's unrelated to etsy. It's this sort of contest thing where this singer, Imogen Heap, is making a biography of herself, but instead of just writing about herself, she's letting her fans write short tweets about her. You answer questions like "Describe her music" and she's going to pick some tweets people do that answer the questions. I think it's a really creative idea and if I get chosen as part of the biography, my username will show up and it might help get a little exposure for my shop. :) I wasn't sure if it might confuse people because I'm trying to make it so my tweet focuses only on my shop. I didn't know where else to do it though. I have another twitter account that I use for my Personality Psych class and I might use that account as a personal one once the class ends.

I submitted some of my photos for the student art show in my college. Even though I've made a lot of art and taken a lot of classes, I realize I've never been in a real "art show" where they hung my art in a gallery. You get judged and not everyone makes it, but the Student Art Society (a group I'm a part) has a separate show with "rejected" artwork so everything has a chance to be displayed. You can also sell your art if you're in the show and set a price on it.

I don't know if any of my photos will make it. They're not perfect technically and my negatives had some scratches and dust marks on them. I thought it'd be fun to enter though. Who knows, maybe some of my photos will make it.
