Happy September friends,
Year three of teaching is going very very well. For the first time ever, I don't feel like I'm in fight or flight every moment of every day. I feel that the kids (and staff, and myself) are finally healing from lockdown, and that insane year afterwards. I'm teaching 4 sections of 7th grade science and 1 section of gardening (plus homeroom), and my kids are seriously lovely.
September Artwork of the Month
I don't have a finished artwork of the month this time around. Ever since school started, I haven't had a lot of excess creative energy, but I have been putting a lot of brain-space into taking care of my new little classroom critter, 'Xi'. Xi is a 'Vittikins dragon' a cross between a Rankins dragon and a Vitticeps bearded dragon. Their name is short for 'Xiaolong', the Chinese word for 'small dragon'. Xi is very sweet, very brave, and the perfect classroom pet. I had all the kids sign a contract and do an assignment on animal husbandry, and so far they have been nothing but curious and respectful.
September Commissions are open!
This month's commission special is a 8"x8" piece ($275) in, black, indathrene blue, and sanguine" the color combination can be seen in an example below.
