Southridge talk

The 'big' day (where I had to get up at 6:30am) came and went. I managed to get out of bed at 6:30am as planned, I did down a cup of coffee, which really helped. Although I think the students and teacher at Southridge High are the judges of how the talk went, my perception was that it went well enough.

We got a slow start trying to figure out how to get the PC to work. I just had CD's of images, not in powerpoint, so it took a few minutes to get that worked out. My talk ended about 5 minutes before the class ended, and the students had a few minutes to handle the books. I would've liked a bit more time for them to handle the books, but that's how it goes. Most of the students gathered around to look through the examples I brought, so I took that to be a good sign.

By 9:30am, I was having my first lunch of the day. From there, it was my critique group meeting, and after that, it was time for my 2nd lunch.

Had to return the fabric samples today, but I took pictures. Here's Option A:



And Option B:



I know, I know, they're both horribly old lady like.

Although I said yesterday that my first favorite was much more favorite than the 2nd favorite, when I looked at them again in a different light (cloudier day), the difference wasn't so striking. Design wise, they're both really appropriate for a studio chair for me, the Persian miniature or the Chinese-y butterflies.

Opinions, anyone?
