So this semester I am taking mostly online classes. On the negative side, I have to be really careful about being keeping up with the due dates for all my classes. On the positive side, I dont have to commute as much (2 hours/day) to school. I do have to go once a week for my fashion illustration class, but that is going to be fun. The first drawing I did was pretty terrible and I worked on it for an hour and half! I will post it up later under my sketchbook once I have a few more. I look forward to hopefully getting better.
This weekend I was able to finally make a cast of myself with the help of my lovely friend, Melissa. I used the instructions found on Lulushions blog. Altogether I think it took about four hours? Mostly the drying took a long time. It got really tight, so sometimes I thought I would go crazy. I kept it together though. I was determined to have my own form fitting dress form. It has to dry for at least 24 hours before I can move onto the next step. Here are some fun pictures from the day.

| Two beautiful pieces! |

| Me and the cast! Next step will be to use the cast to create the papier-mâché dress form! |
