this is a preliminary drawering of my good friend casa which i am embroidering on a stretched canvas. ima do the contour outline of her body in purple and her shirt and hair in an indigo. i think her glasses (which are baller, basically) are going to be this bright blue, which she likes more than me but then again this is a drawing of cassandra and not maggie.
i drew this in the art lab while she was working on her final fibers project. her last fibers project for her last fibers class ever!! (alas!) she's at the sewing machine, but i decided to leave out the machine and the piece she was working on. she says it reminds her of her dance moves. i think so, too. in a way, she is dancing. when she is sewing and making art, she doesn't have to think about what she is doing; she just experiences the moment in the present. thats what i like about this drawing because it really is all about her. the project she is working on and the action of her working on it are, in essence, cassandra, so leaving out the tools made sense. everything else is inconsequential.
that's just what i think, anyway.
plus im super-stoked about making something that intimidates me, and this project definitely has the potential to become really overwhelming. we'll see. i have the tendency to quit challenging projects and blame it on laziness.

ah! this is so cool! cassander called and told me you drew her - how big is this? and you're going to embroider on it? so cool!
i like her nose a LOT. i'm still getting used to seing her glasses drawn - those were such a defining feature for so long - it's like she changed her whole face when she changed glasses, but it looks just like her!
so i just realized i have an exam and 2 papers to write today. i hate it all. i just want to go to sleep for a few months.
so cool!
