Hi!
I recently graduated SVA.
👀
(This photo is from the day before I graduated…)
(I was in my pajamas sorry)
I am so relieved.
I remember writing in my journal entry though, I didn’t really like my experience at SVA.
There were a couple reasons I didn’t have a very great time at SVA. But to shorten it…
1. there were many times where people were very rude to me on many occasions. There was a lot of competition and harsh criticism that I didn’t really benefit from. A lot of rudeness . Some kids spoke to me like I was incompetent.
2. Feedback on my work/story/ideas was mostly unhelpful to me…minimal…and I didn’t share my stuff casually like with classmates, cause nobody really seemed to want to interact or communicate.
3. Identity politics/cancel culture/social justice warrior and drama was RAMPANT . People would talk negatively about other students, and there was a lot of.. like..if you don’t agree with me, we can’t be friends? Stuff. Like they weren’t tolerant of other people’s opinions if they didn’t agree. Lots of talk about respecting everybody to a particular degree, over the top to be honest…. but I did not feel respected there (me as an autistic woman with plenty of challenges)
4. did not find a feminism/disability advocate group I liked. There really wasn’t many. And…I Emailed clubs to join, they didn’t get back to me until the very end, and I never got to really fully utilize the Fiber arts club which I really wanted to try .
Anyway, enough of that… SVA sucked, whatever… at least I’m done and I can move on with my life and hopefully get a job. Might work at the museum again this summer! But I’ll be looking at the jobs for art related stuff like a crazy person, most likely.
I also started a big project.
I am going to try to crochet every Pokemon in the Pokédex
From HGSS/Platinum and earlier, I can’t possibly do everything after… so from Bulbasuar to Arceus
So.. everything in
1 Kanto Pokédex
2 Johto Pokédex
3 Hoenn Pokédex
4 Sinnoh Pokédex
I wanted to do BW and BW2, so like Snivy, Tepig, Oshowwott and all the Unova pokemon but… I’m gonna start with this for now, :-)
That’s… 493 pokemon to crochet :-00000
Right now I’m making bulbasaur :-)
Anyway, since we’re on crochet as a topic I’ll share the Miffy I made ! A while back
Here’s her with overalls I made for her (the overalls are removable) :-)
So in the next couple weeks I’ll be crocheting the Kanto pokemon.
I will update after I finish each Pokemon.
So I will upload a finished pic photo of bulbasaur when completed.
He’ll be amazing but he’s a little hard to make cause of the interesting chunky little body shape, but I can do it! I am pretty confident I can think of strategies to help this process.
Also I may upload in progress / process photos but it’ll mostly be posts when I’m done (meaning, FULLY COMPLETE) with each one—- one at a time. So.. bulbasaur , then charmander, squirtle, onwards, etc etc, onwards from there, you get the idea. ;; haaaa ^^;;
Also don’t expect perfect timing, like at the end of Week 1 I’ll be DONE with ___ pokemon. At Week 2, expect ____ pokemon fully finished…. Nope.
If I complete it in an exact week, that’s awesome. But I probably will need to take time for each. 2 weeks or more, rarely less. I have ADHD. sorry. lol.
And no, I’m not actually sorry I was being sarcastic hmm
But yeah I can’t fix that, so that’s something that will just be the case. But I will try to add a quick update saying my progress if I don’t finish in a pretty decent while. I don’t wanna complete neglect this project either and disappear, so I’ll make sure to explain if something happens.
If all goes well, yay!
If worst comes to worst and I find out 493 pokemon is too much to crochet at all and is overwhelming me, I’ll let ya know and I’ll stop the project I hope that doesn’t happen cause I genuinely want a fun challenge you know? I genuinely want to challenge myself and make this happen. But if it just doesn’t work out, it’s ok.
Also, I’ll need space to put all the finished pokemon.
I have plenty of closet space, so I may need containers to store the finished projects but the favorites of the Pokemon I can keep out / display openly. I just gotta consolidate. You know? Haha :-)
Okay that’s all for today
Sorry I haven’t written on this blog in a while too - with all that’s been going on, I’ve been incredibly busy and now I have burn out.
So I am a bit little slow with blogging recently.
It should go back to normal soon.
Also, I was gonna post something a while back with new art/drawings, it’s my drafts, so if I post it and it seems old it’s because I wanted to post it like months ago. Expect a new post soon. Haha!
See ya!
:-)
