Project dont get pregnant



For my last art project we were asked to make a "found object" piece. Which means you use an object that is not intended for art. We were also supposed to come up with a metaphor for it. A hidden meaning either serious or joking. An example was a mouse made out of computer parts. Hahaha I originally wanted to make a "fruit bowl" out of artificially flavored fruit soda cans. I got the bowl part done, looked like a child did it. Then I attempted the fruit part. Looked like crap and gave up in a very stressed out mood. Very same night that I decided I had to start all over with only a weekend left... I had to take scott to the emergency room cause he sliced his knuckle open with a soda top. Anyway.. way later that night I could finally start thinking about a new project. I came up with I think, a pretty funny one! The critique for it is tomorrow morning. Wish me luck!! I did a diaper bag that is made out of condoms. Yes 48 condoms cover this bag that is filled with diapers and a baby bottle. Now the real funny part to this whole story is that when me and scott went to fred meyer to buy these massive amount of condoms which by the way we drove all around town to find the cheapest amount in bulk. Well anyway.. we ended up having to buy three 24 packs of the assorted pack. So I could get the right colors I needed. Plus diapers and a bottle all in one purchase. Well we went through the self checkout of course to prevent any possible embarrassment. When we were all done buying them we walk through the beeping part and of course it goes off! Our luck. Normally the workers are too lazy and dont give a crap and usually just let us go, im sure that has happened to you. Not this time. The guy working there grabs the bag from scott and trys scanning them again to get the detector thing off. While he was doing this, there was a couple our age watching that could see through the very thin fred meyer bag and noticed how many we were buying. The couple starts to laugh and looks over at us. I said "i swear its for a project!" The girl looks at me and says "Yea project dont get pregnant!" So there is the very long eventful story for my weekend. Anyway here are a couple pictures of it.. Ill bring it home though so you can get a closer look. : )

Take me out to the ball game.


So yesterday we went to the OSU baseball game at the PGE park. It was a really fun game! The only down part to it was that it was oh about 30 degrees out. Ok, maybe not that cold. But it was very chilly. But of course Scott and I had to take part in "Dip'n Dots"." Yea I know.. were fools. Oh well! The beavers lost by alot.. It was very sad. But they played really well and it was still an entertaining game. This picture is from the game, I am going to use it for my next photography assignment. Its a narrative piece. I thought it was soo cute this random dad and son. You gotta love it. It makes me feel like its a back in the day picture, just the fans watching the local baseball game on a saturday afternoon. : )

Have a fantastic day!! Its nice out again! Of course it only rained on the day we chose to go to the game. Thats Oregon for ya...
