Four days to go now.

Today was so wonderful, and with only four days to go till Kaleidoscope Eyes opens, I'm surprised I'm not as stressed as I thought I'd be/was last year when all my art for school was due. I had to go back into Fuji Reef Center this morning to get some more photos printed out, as well as get one re-printed as it came out horrible the first time around. While they were getting printed I went and checked out one of my favourite op shops. I ended up buying a cute doily (that I'll probably use as a spray-paint stencil) and this gorgeous old photo frame for only $2! I'm so amazed with it, it's so beautiful:

 

When I went to check if my photos were done, they were and they looked AWESOME. I'm so happy with how they turned out. They don't really look like art to me though, they just look like snapshots of my friends dressed up funny, and a nice reminder of a fun day. I really want to see how other people perceive it though, but I guess I'll have to wait till Saturday night. So I went into The Tanks to drop the prints off with Annaliese, and we sat down and semi-wrote up the artists statements.. Well, I talked gibberish and Annaliese put it into sentence form. After that she dropped me home, as the gallery assistants had to frame stuff up and etc, and said she'd pick me up at 4 so we could go back in to see how everything will be set out in the gallery space. I had to drop off my library books as well so I caught a bus to the Stratford library and hung out there for a bit with Angus, which was nice coz that kid always makes me laugh. PLUS I found The Beatles' movie 'HELP!' there, and that pretty much made my day. I have yet to watch it, but the plot line sounds pretty crazy:

At 4, Annaliese picked me up from the library so we could go back to my place and pick up the masks the Girl Guides made, and my two canvases. When we got back to The Tanks, all my work was set up around the gallery and it was just the most wonderful feeling, I really can't explain it. I can't wait till everything is hung up and the lighting is set up and all that. Anyway, now for the most awesome part of my day. The gallery assistant Kylie said she could give me a lift home coz she was going shopping at Redlynch Central, and so when we were walking to the parking lot, she led me to a car like this:

Well, her car was teal, but you get the idea. Anyway, I almost cried. It was probably the most beautiful car I'd ever been in, in my entire life. I loved it, from the no seat belts, to the fake tulips she had resting on the dashboard. I adored the crap out of that car, and the ride home was the best thing ever, I felt so damn cool. I do believe this could possibly be my dream car. I don't think I can fully illustrate how awesome this car was, but I might be able to get a picture of it on Thursday, so I'll post it on here if I succeed.

So now I'm sitting here, with paint on my hands and feeling very, very uninspired to continue working on my canvas works. I hope it rains, that always helps.
