summah tiiimmeee and the weather ain’t freeeezyyyy...
that’s right, it’s summer! which means no school! which means free time!
and i have more good news: i’m done with grad school in less than two weeks, so give me a high-five if you see me around.
i found this pair of gloves in may when i took two weeks off from student teaching high school to student teach at a local middle school. i would smile all the way to school every morning. whoever says middle school is a terrible place has never visited this place! i’ve never been so happy to be around 6th graders!
driving home one day, i spotted a glimpse of red on the roadside. being me, i immediately pulled over to check to see if was a glove. it wasn’t a glove. it was TWO gloves! hot damn! i picked them up, skipped back to my car, and grinned all the way home. two months later, on summer break, i have finally finished the glove doll.
it was so fortunate to find two red gloves, since the majority of gloves i find are neutral in color or leather work gloves. i decided to take advantage of the color by creating a glove doll that resembled the shape of the human heart. the stubby fingers look a little like arteries. to mix things up a little, i put snaps on two of the fingers. they are fun to snap together and pull apart.
please beat your drum for...
Aorty! (pronounced ar-tee)
