Repurposed Pillowcases
I love the concept of repurposing materials and other items to make beautiful and useful new products.
RD Image Studio Visit
For our Photo 2 class we took a field trip to RD Image Studio in St. Francis, WI. It was interesting and wonderfully exciting to see all they do. The food photography that was done so well sprang an interest in me to look into being a food stylist.
Madison Symphony Orchestra
This is where I saw the Madison Symphony Orchestra perform in November. It was a wonderful experience of witnessing some wonderful talents and hard work paid off after much practice. Seeing each of the different musicians respond to the music they were playing as they performed was an interesting, and sometimes amusing, sight to see. I look forward to the opportunity to see it again.

Information Design Project
For GD III we are doing a project creating a poster to inform people of something. For my project, I plan to do research on "Urban Farming" and using what I learn to develop an informative poster that brings about a sense of the importance of sustainability and community. I will be going on a tour at Growing Power to get inspiration for my design. They are a local organization doing wonderful things to improve heath, community, and sustainability. I am looking forward to the tour!

Natural Rugs
To go along with the rug theme, I found a website, http://www.natural-elements.net/products.php, that makes rugs out of all natural fibers, such as abaca, coir (harvested from coconut husks), sea grass and mountain grass, to name a few. While the patterns formed from weaving and interwinding the fibers may not seem very intricate from a distance, they actually do make beautiful, yet simple patterns.
