polaroids from my visit with jacquelyn

we've been friends since before we were born. our grandfathers (on both of our mothers side) we're friends when they were pre-teens.
my mom and her aunt are best friends.

i went from the 26th-29th to vegas (her home) to visit before she went to hong kong for a short semester abroad. my visit was a good time.

she'll be sending more pictures to me. and i'll post those later.
but here are 3 polaroids.

jac is buddist.

fevers and mirrors

over the summer i found this peice of mirror for 3 dollers.
so i bought it thinking it'd be great for a project i had previously dreampt up in my head.
so, finding this made this dream a reality.
in 2002, bright eyes came out with my favorite of their records "fevers and mirrors"
there's a song called: Haligh, Haligh, A Lie, Haligh
in this song i got inspired by these beautiful lyrics to create this peice.
"You combed your hair inside that mirror;
The one you painted blue, and glued with jewelry tears.
Something 'bout those bright colors,
Would always make you feel better."
and so i made this mirror. i didn't have a digital camera. but got one after christmas.
and some of the peices came off because the glue from the hot glue gun weren't strong to hold some of them.
so now its complete :)

happy new year
