Just Something

I was hanging around in the jewelry room during me spare because I was bored. While being bore I drew this and many other things up.  I think it'd be a nice pendant with a pearl in the middle of the flower. 

So What?

I believe the message in this visual is that some people get into such a 9 to 5 routine that they become almost robotic in a way. They wake up, go to work, do their job, then go home. Every step is memorized, there are no surprises. Your brain becomes wired into this routine that you can't get out of. 

Blackout Poetry by Austin Kleon

Not sure if you can read this but it says, "The first thing to be said is, poetry can be born no need to fret"

I just thought it was a true statement within a piece of poetry that was born out of another piece of writing.

My mom took this picture when she had gone golfing and I thought it was cool how the photo looks normal whether it's right side up or upside-down. 

Story Molecules

The chosen one, hero's journey, saving the world.

Love triangle, star crossed lovers, conflict, tragic heroes

Jerk with a heart of gold, getting crap past the radar, saving the world, the end.

Tedx Youth Talk Reflection

http://blogs.agu.org/wildwildscience/2011/11/20/12-year-old-app-developer-tedx-youth/

Last Wednesday as a field trip we had gone to the forks to watch some Ted Talks presentations. We had watched about 6 presentations and two videos. The presentations were quite insightful, but I'd have to say that some speakers weren't as prepared as they could have been. One speaker that stood out most to me would be Abigail. She started her presentation off with a spoken word then explained more in depth about her topic. Her spoken word was called, "Facebook is Not my Friend". Abigail explained how technology was getting in the way of human interaction and how we're losing the ability to interact with others in person. Within her spoken word she explained, "Facebook is not my friend, you are." I though that she was very well prepared and she was comfortable up on stage. Another speaker that stood out to me would be Seanne. He's an 8 year old boy who is awesome at playing the piano. The little boy played us a piece he composed all on his own and it was just so cute! All in all in presentations weren't too bad. The last presentation spooked me out a bit, talking about prostitutes and such, but it wasn't a bad day. 

Mom's Flower Ring

From wax:

To metal:

With stones:

I chose sapphires for the leaf instead of emeralds because green would be the obvious choice in a leaf and I liked how the sapphires looked against the silver better. In the flower is an amethyst.
