Like A Pie In The Face

I took on the ridiculous task to build a chandelier. I really thought it would turn out
amazing. Unfortunately it is one of those projects you keep thinking..."even though I have spent so much time, money, and EFFORT..it will be worth it!"
Well I can tell that to the lame Jury because this Chandelier was pretty much a slap in my face.
I started from complete scratch and with my Dads awesome tools I was able to cut the metal and
drill holes that at least look half decent but the rest just kind of looks like a sad mess that I can't clean up.

I hung it in our room to see what Tay would say. I thought he would laugh but he actually likes it but he is just a sweetie trying to make me feel like I didn't completely
waste time and money.

(I don't know why everything I write is underlined..I can't take it off..maybe what I have to say is just so profound the computer feels it needs to be underlined, who knows?)

SCHOOL:

For one of my classes final projects the whole class was asked to design a condo in Park City
for a client. The teacher told us about the client:

She is;
50 yrs old
a chief
a business women
very athletic
a dancer
a skater
a singer
heavily involved in politicians
a role model to many
she has her own clothes line
(WOW this lady sounds amazing!)
She has recently been divorced and is getting married to him again.

SHE IS:



yep! It is Barbie, I was very excited to take on this task. We got to see the pictures Jordan Adler designed for the BARBIE Malibu Dream house here are some of the pictures of the house:


This is a barbie Chandelier made out of hair..Unique but kind of gross..

I love all the fun COLORS! He is such an amazing designer!

PINK:)



This house is so popular in Malibu they wanted us to design a condo in Party city that little girls could go tour. The clients were there and explained what they wanted in the design. They were going to come again next class to judge the whole class and pick their favorite and who ever designed the best condo would win and get the JOB.

Well you would think it would be all BARBIE HOT PINK but they gave us a wallpaper sample that was very vintage and had birds on it...NOT very barbie to me but I still thought I could make it barbie enough.

We only had one week.
I was so nervous and was hoping I could at least take 3rd place.
I usually dont' mind speaking in front of the class but I was super nervous.
When the clients named who got 3rd (I was sad to know it was not me) then 2nd and
then She said, 1st place goes to CRYSTAL NIELSEN, she got the job! Well she is lucky, wait..that is me!
I was very excited, until I found out they are NOT really building a condo in Park City. HA another joke on me. Tay called me and he asked if I got 1st place and I said yeah I won, he freaked out and said well what does this entail...and I am like nothing..I just won, I mean I guess you could call it a pride booster. Tay was as sad as I was ha.
They should have made it real so the winner could actually have experience but I guess it was fun for one week to actually think I was doing an important project.
Just like BARBIE..it was fake..beside the client part and the grade of course:)

My next post will be about CHRISTMAS!
