rested and watching Top Chef

Hello Stash,

I did wind up cutting my afternoon class -- well, at least leaving right after the quiz. I think I only got an 80% on the quiz. Poo. :) Then I came home and napped for 3 hours. Hurrah!

Congratulations again on winning the contest for the degree show! Mad skillz. My husband has them! Eeeee! What's the next step?

Now I'm working on my design for screenprinting tomorrow. It's a coordinate for the first design. If you'll recall (and you will, because Stash has excellent memory), the first was takeout containers, boba drinks and sushi rolls in 3 colors. The example is on the website that shares my name (look at me being all cryptic). The coordinate is only one color and simpler by definition. I'm doing a polka dot using those slightly off circles that you made for the boba balls.

Then I'm working on another layout for wrapping paper. Putting things into repeat is so confusing. It doesn't help that today the Illustrator professor noted that Photoshop and Illustrator aren't the best ways to put things into repeat, that there are specialized software programs for it. Er, great, but that's not what we're learning!

Anyway, I am trying to stay focused and keep my priorities for the next week in mind: getting taxes done, developing conceptual pieces for the show, figuring out how to present myself. Maybe putting together that "turn off the tap" display. And looooving you!

I hope you had a good night's sleep. Have a good Thursday, and I will speak with you on the telephone!

much love,
Girl

p.s. The blog for Kiosk has a post about cheap eats in Stockholm. I doubt I'll make it to the AIGA talk; it's probably sold out and the next few weeks are going to be jampacked for me. I wonder where they're going next (current place is Hong Kong). Perhaps a venue for showing my photos?

p.p.s. And we are both lovely. And not foolers.
