I thought I had a plan

Image
       It’s been fun brainstorming and seeing what complex and intricate ideas that I could come up with. Of course, the more that I tried the more “they just didn’t look right.” I talked about in my last blog how I was considering “camouflage designs.” Which I would hide a special meaning in the design. However, it could not be obvious to the person. I am pleased to say that it has been successfully completed. I used the initials of DM and worked it into a design. Of course, this is only one of many in the future “I hope.”               The interesting part is people were not expecting it unless I said something. I got many responses from different letters to “a face,” and of course, my favorite “a fish.” I couldn’t help but laugh at that one. It shows how everyone’s mind works differently.               I have continued to brainstorm ideas and work out different st...

Adapting the impossible idea

Image
  After carving under the microscope like two weeks ago, it got me thinking. Yes, this is very dangerous. Thinking and pondering future ideas because I wanted to expand what I can create.

When I got the microscope, I really struggled to figure out “what to carve.” The first idea was hard to come up with because “I had no idea what to make.” I have said it many times that “the idea is always the hardest part.” It becomes harder for me when I try to force the idea. Usually nothing looks right to me. One thing I cherish is making something one of a kind and unique. There is a lot of impact knowing, and seeing that my work can “stand out,” and “be independent.” Well, I hope one day my work can get there.             Through my pondering I concluded that it would be fun to see what’s possible with unique and random doodles. Designs that at first look are cool and maybe look pointless. I det...

The weeks roadblocks and what I did instead

Image
  Going into my long weekend I had many plans I wanted to work on; one especially was to do more wood carving under the microscope. Unfortunately, the university had another monkey wrench planned for me. I unexpectedly woke up sick on Sunday and have been sick for most of the week. Thankfully I am on the mend.             Now why am I being brave enough to write a blog about being sick. Well, it’s a good reminder that you must be patient with yourself. I know I’m not the only one, but I do struggle with being patient at times. I have been sick in many different combinations, from my mental motivation, or what I am physically capable of doing. No matter the combination or the hiccups, everyone at some point in their life has faced something similar. Talking with a few people, I have concluded goals I have for my videos and my blog. The goal of no stress, purposeful distraction, and maybe gives inspiration and motivation to try...
