I went to the MET the other day and checked out my favorite Egyptian exhibit. There's so much to see there that one section at a time is enough. Next week I'll hit another one. Walking through the park to get there is always nice. I try to take a different trail each time. Even stopped off on the way home through the park and did some sketching, boy do i need to practice more. I was sucking at proportion.
The days are going back and forth but it's becoming an east coast fall. Daniel and I are going to try to get out of the city saturday and go on a hike to check out the changing leaves.
I finally got a job. Whoohoo. It's an after school program at a middle school that's a 10 minute walk from our apartment. I had gone into the interview thinking I would be teaching sculpture. The woman had already hired a sculpture teacher though, I think she was disappointed she didn't hire me once I started talking about projects. But since she really liked me she offered me another subject to teach. Jewelry, yes that's right, jewelry. Except for a class or 2 I don't know much about it except for that I love to wear it. I told her outright I've never taught it but am enthusiastic to learn and try. It was good enough for her. :)
I figure it's 11-13 year old girls. I can wing it, just need to stay one step ahead and that's what google and youtube are for.
First project is macrame friendship bracelets :) I'll eventually get fancier, maybe even work in metal. We'll see. But it's a job and will give use those few extra bucks that will help.
Tonight I'm going to the museum of art and design with Daniel and this girl we met through Daniel's program. The museum looks really interesting and they have an artist in residency program I want to check out and will apply for. So we'll see, can't hurt right.
Hopefully this week has pushed me out of my little funk and i'll start getting out more. There's to much to see hear not to take advantage of it.
Until next time.
