"Naturally Dyed Cloth" Journal Entry

In response to Chad's class challenge I dyed cloth using natural navajo coloring techniques. The process included boiling the cloth with brown onion skins and wild flowers from Colorado. They mostly turned out to be a tan color with subtle variation but was still a fun process.

"Mystical Tutor" Journal Entry

This week  I decided to combine a piece about Eden and the Snake with a freelance job I got to make custom Magic the Gathering trading cards art. This piece is about how knowledge is what the snake gave us and how the Gnostics (pretty much the original Christians) were seekers of knowledge not condemners of it. They created hundreds of gospels and only four were chosen to make the Bible, seems like what we have come to believe today is the massively abridged version of the religion (like the Avatar the Last Airbender movie). Nor the Snake or knowledge is evil, ignorance is.
