Urban Update


Forest Fauna

This is going to be my logo! It needs some work, of course, I may change the font I use and the picture quality isn't great, as I don't have a proper camera, only the one on my phone, but non-the-less, this is somewhat of a reveal!

I am really pleased with how my elephant magnifying glass is turning out. So far it is my most popular and my favourite as well. As of yet, it needs sanding and is not painted. Finally I have settled on a paint that I would like to use and have found a place relatively nearby that sells it in my area. I will be using milk paint as it is non-toxic and safe for children. It is commonly used with woodworking furniture as it provides an aged look. When I use it with my items, I would like to seal it with some sort of oil, as is traditional. Perhaps walnut or hemp oil. I still need to more thoroughly research that aspect of the process.

About a month ago, I brought some of my work with me to a job interview and I'm soooo happy to say that I got the job!! In September I will be starting my dream job working for the School Board as a Designated Early Childhood Educator in the Kindergarten classroom! I feel incredibly blessed to be given this opportunity so early in my career and am excited to begin. Not before preparing as much as I can in advance though. I have quite a few text books to read through and am meeting with one of my previous teachers to talk things over. She is now the Supervisor of the DECEs for the School Board in my region. She taught me my first class in the program--a very eye opening creative arts class.
