(geez I can&#8217;t believe I&#8217;ve neglected this blog for so long)</p> <p>Second, I&#8217;m not going to school anymore. I don&#8217;t know when I&#8217;ll return to school, or what for, but I would like to someday graduate from college. For now, I&#8217;m working, trying to be a self-sufficient adult.</p> <p>I&#8217;ve been crocheting a lot, and I&#8217;m getting pretty good at it. I make amigurumi animals and hats. I&#8217;ve also got an <a href="http://kayeldredge.etsy.com">Etsy site.</a></p> <p>I&#8217;m kuntwithakay on instagram.</p>http://laundrysoup.tumblr.com/post/36929254083http://laundrysoup.tumblr.com/post/36929254083Fri, 30 Nov 2012 20:21:06 -0800<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzh39wPNRk1qei36yo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>White Still Life</p> <p>February 2012</p> <p>White charcoal and white conte crayon on black drawing paper</p> <p>* It’s not quite finished; there’s more work to be done on the paper lamp, as well as the banner on the wall.

Also, charcoal has always been the absolute bane of my existence, but my left hand <em>loves</em> charcoal. Which is good, because this class is about 90% charcoal.</p> <p>Anyway, I&#8217;ve got all of my assignments from this term so far in my Queue, so please enjoy my new-and-improved art!</p>http://laundrysoup.tumblr.com/post/17725901540http://laundrysoup.tumblr.com/post/17725901540Thu, 16 Feb 2012 13:15:06 -0800<img
