It's raining jellyfish! Hallelujah!

Wow, it's been a while. Life's been ridiculously busy. Two more weeks until the end of term! It's been crazy. I don't think I'll try doing four classes in a semester again. I've been a slave to my to-do list since January.



Still, I've gotten some interesting things done. We did some work in Photoshop in my weaving class. Which seems rather bizarre to me. I'm sure some of the traditional weaving techniques we use haven't changed much in a couple hundred years. Still, the department ordered a jacquard loom, which is one that can weave images from digital files. Our class learned to use the software, so that when it actually arrives we can be the guinea pigs and see how it all works.



I must admit, making ridiculous images in Photoshop is really fun. This coming from someone who occasionally wonders if society would be better if the computer had stopped at the loom. *grins*



These are some of the images I did. I kind of love the jellyfish one.
