Trashion Show

Trashion show went down last night…

I’ve been getting on it! I constructed an origami dress…. folded from the likes of Jeremy Jones and Jamie Anderson. I ripped out images of snowboarders from the magazines I’ve been hording for years. I strategically cut down each image into a 6 x 6 square, avoiding all text. I folded each square into an origami coaster. I than hammered 4 grommets into each corner.

I connected each square piece into a geometric pattern with fishing line. The only material I purchased was 300 grommets for about  $8.78.

Trust me, I was worried, it wasn’t all going to come together… but oh, it did.

Super stoked!

check it out at the sierra Nevada Trashin’ show… and it was DUMPING snow outside! sweet

Virgina City… not at it’s wildest, but for sure one of the coolest towns i have ever been to. The second we drove up over the hills from Carson City, there is a eerieness in the air…

Mark Twain used to stumble the streets of Nevada City… throwing back cocktails at the BLOOD BUCKET. He was jumped by his friends one night, headed home from the bar… but it was only a joke. Mark didn’t take the joke so lightly and moved away….

We had a private tour of the Silver Terrace cemetery… my teachers, Mr. Henrey and Miss Dunn excitedly lined up at the gates….

The Class listens hard to the history of the graveyard and the stories of the citizens of Virgin City’s fate.

SO RAD!
