E for Entomology

I explain this assignment here!

This section of the assignment I made to look like a vintage scientific illustration.

 I went through so many little paper insects.. their wings and legs kept falling off (morbid!).  I eventually decided to skip the skinny legs altogether so that I could keep my sanity... and, the legs are the creepy part about insects anyways. If they wore mittens I would probably be much happier to let one walk around on my arm instead of screech and flail until it flies (or flings) away.  Maybe.

* No insects were hurt in the making of this collage.

Happy Spring!!

I am so thankful for this warm weather.  Sleeping with the windows open is truly one of the best things in life.  It is a little different here in Baltimore when we have police helicopters buzzing around at all hours (say whaaat?) but still, the fresh air is nice!  And they add excitement!  It's like I'm living in an episode of The Wire! (Not really... I am snug in this little apartment.)  The noise is actually comforting in a weird way anyways, I like the feeling of living in a city.  It's nice to know people are always around.  Also... I saw Paranormal Activity 3 last week and had the pants scared off of me so I'm not in much of a mood to be alone.  My phone rings and I jump.  It's fun.  

I made this yesterday in my collage class.  We were assigned a letter of the alphabet and had to make 2 images.  1 for a young audience and 1 for an adult audience.  This is the one for the small folks.  Next week I'll be working on the one for the bigs.
