News From Rexburg

Well, Well ,Well. Can't say there is a ton to update everyone on. Life is pretty chill.Work, school, senior project, etc. And yes senior project is both of us, I help Daniel a lot with it. Setting up to take pictures, bouncing ideas off of. I love seeing what he is doing and all that he has accomplished. So the other night we were working on senior project, and I had a break while Daniel was writing some code, so i sat down and took a jab at comics. Here is what I came up with... and my family might recognize this situation.... :)

"did you wash your hands?"

"yes"

"oh, I didn't hear the faucet turn on"

"Oh, the lake dried up. There wasn't any water."

Yes that was me. and that's how it happened. I didn't want to tell my mom and dad that I hadn't washed my hands, so I said there wasn't any water..... well needless to say the possibility of a 51 mile long lake drying up, not too high. Didn't get away with that one. :)

Next up: Collages

So our friend Allen works in the Art Gallery. So we get to hear all about what he is working on. We know who is showing when and so forth. Well now that he works there and tells us this, we try to go to see "his" work. So see if he did a good enough job setting up or not... lol but Allen himself is a great artist, though he doesn't admit to it. Well the Artist they were showcasing did some collages. And since the show I have wanted to try my hand at collages. Here is what I came up with.

They both are layered with 3-d.. well raised at least to give them depth. This first one is books and a lamp, then the gray books on the right raised, and then the window raised twice as high as teh books. I printed everything out and used an exacto knife to cut them out. the windows in this one were a pain, but worth it in the end.

This one is just different buildings out of pictures i liked. As you can see the space needle is there.3 of the buildings are raised in this one. you can't see it raised in the picture very well, but in person it is pretty cool.

We have been out bike riding. Nice to have a mt. bike up here now. We rode around for a while the other day and stopped out at the nature park. Ducks are still there.

So it was all nice.. then it started raining, and then twice we had hail.... and then today it snowed!!! Arrgh. It snowed maybe an inch or so. It is all gone now, but it was a bummer to wake up to snow in may when it had been super nice. But oh well. I went with Daniel to one of his classes.. so I had the privilege to walk across campus in the snow and wind again.... yeah.. didn't miss it.

And then here are some pics of Daniel, Lexus and Madex. We went to help with a computer problem. But it was good to see the family.

So all is well with us, and we hope with everyone else too! Much love from the Ranallo's! :D
