So I have lots of things I did that I considered "creative" in the last week, but my mom had recently gone out of the country and took the laptop that I was using with her. I used to have this lovely Toshiba Laptop named Charlie which lasted five years, but he had passed away in December. And I've been borrowing my mom's vaio for the past five months. But now I'm computer-less! All I have is my handy iPad, but I'm afraid it's limited to the types of posts I can load. Like no images of the creative strives and progresses I have made :(
So until about July, boring old text posts from me, talking about my creative adventures. But it's something right?
But one of the projects I started last week was a long-term project called "The Dictionary Challenge" which is basically me taking one of my old webster's dictionaries and making, writing, or doing something creative with every word from A to Z. Its a project i randomly came upon one day looking up a word in my dictionary, and I noticed how uniform ig all looked and wanted to try and spice it up a bit ha. The first letter I'm working on right now is aardvark which I'm trying to learn how to draw a nice looking one. But if sometime in the next month I can find a real comp I can upload a pic of it.
Another little side project I have going on is bookbinding, which I'm slowly trying different techniques. And it's an exciting process and I'm very excited to be trying to learn to bind my own books. There is something very personal about them, and the fact that I can gave free range on how it looks and the types if pages I choose to go inside is very fun.
But all in all. A productive week which I can't show quite yet, but a satisfying one. I hope I can have some visuals soon! Because I have a few photos from my San Diego adventure this memorial dY weekend which I'd like to post up.
The lack of a real computer can start to creep up on you, and sometimes I don't realize the effect technology has on me, only when it leaves haha. Hopefully not permanently though. I should get a Mac computer in august, so yes!

A New Media
So I've played with the idea of creating a blog for some time now, but never really got around to it because I did not know exactly what I wanted to blog about. But I think a blog that records my daily runs with inspiration and creativity suits me just dandy :)
So I'm still figuring out the ropes, but I hope I can have some insightful and delightful posts up soon.
