I cannot seem to finish a master’s degree because I don’t know which place to start. I am a life long learner. I love to attend events where I can be around artists all the time. My days are awesome because I get to ignite how to be an artist in others. I still like to play in water, grow flowers, work and look at the land, be served food, watch my kids play sports, and create.Lynette Fasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08822418455916831473noreply@blogger.comBlogger151100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8216124579742858910.post-72297414895918820062009-12-30T13:10:00.000-08:002009-12-30T13:25:38.834-08:00<span>A cute little film created using stop motion clay animation by a 9 year old student under my guidance. Garrett wrote the story, created the characters, painted the background, wrote the script, wrote the music score, animated the characters, recorded all the voices, and completed all the editing and animating. We used Sculpey clay, acrylic paint, Word, a digital camera with a tripod, iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand. He completed this project over a time period of 9 months working one hour each week in my studio. That's around 40 hours! Pretty awesome kid - huh! He's glad to have it done and to share it with you.<br /><br /><br /></span><object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-97ca834e9e5c4944" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v24.nonxt5.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D97ca834e9e5c4944%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331405710%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D48866ADF0FEF864A8704E18FF36DE5C57A3781C3.2AA4FF8BD13A83EAB715AA516F373E4618EF06C7%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D97ca834e9e5c4944%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DfBXPBqZc5cTEWDnD63T0DVa3a_M&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v24.nonxt5.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D97ca834e9e5c4944%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331405710%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D48866ADF0FEF864A8704E18FF36DE5C57A3781C3.2AA4FF8BD13A83EAB715AA516F373E4618EF06C7%26key%3Dck1&iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D97ca834e9e5c4944%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DfBXPBqZc5cTEWDnD63T0DVa3a_M&autoplay=0&ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8216124579742858910-7229741489591882006?l=lynettefast.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lynette Fasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08822418455916831473noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8216124579742858910.post-19357399641969069812009-03-22T07:04:00.000-07:002009-03-22T07:14:27.233-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wMsD4VeZ9VA/ScZHZERkG4I/AAAAAAAAAB0/JJDIMFKwCug/s1600-h/winner+is.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 244px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wMsD4VeZ9VA/ScZHZERkG4I/AAAAAAAAAB0/JJDIMFKwCug/s400/winner+is.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316014906127162242" border="0" /></a><br />Thank you all for taking a look and leaving me some great comments.

Where are you coming from? What do you see as major influences from childhood? Artist's need to reflect on this and create from these sources. Here's a few thoughts I have had:<br />I used to string beads from ice cube trays filled to the rim with beads and I punched holes in my Barbie doll’s ears so they could wear the jewelry I made for them. I used to fly kites and go sledding in fields filled with snakes and cow pies. My teachers used to tell me to be a teacher. I used to live in rural Iowa and walk beans, play sports, lifeguard, teach swimming lessons, babysit, wait tables, make art, and arrange flowers to keep myself busy. I used to get my inspiration to work as an artist from Linda Lonn, my art teacher, and at NWMSU. And now in Lincoln, I used to teach elementary and middle school art, but now teach high school pottery, jewelry, sculpture, and digital art.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8216124579742858910-4719100193077872067?l=lynettefast.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lynette Fasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08822418455916831473noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8216124579742858910.post-55418870444497142072009-03-13T19:16:00.000-07:002009-03-13T19:18:36.836-07:00Watch for the Lincoln Handmade Team Free Promotional Giveaways next week!<br />http://lincolnhandmadeteam.blogspot.com/<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8216124579742858910-5541887044449714207?l=lynettefast.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lynette Fasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08822418455916831473noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8216124579742858910.post-4816231637775209952009-03-12T20:03:00.000-07:002009-03-12T20:04:10.819-07:00<h3 class="post-title entry-title"> <a href="http://lincolnhandmadeteam.blogspot.com/2009/03/were-busy-group.html">We're a busy group!</a> </h3> What are our members up to?<br /><a href="http://crafterella.blogspot.com/">Crafterella</a> is poppin tabs and <a href="http://crafterella.blogspot.com/2009/03/pop-tab-palosa.html">knitting </a>something up for <a href="http://chimeracrochet.etsy.com/">ChimeraCrochet</a>; who is getting excited for <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/729751@N25/">Lincoln Handmade's </a>big giveaway week that <a href="http://refibered.etsy.com/">Refibred</a> just <a href="http://refibered.blogspot.com/2009/03/lincoln-handmade-team-giveaway-week-is.html">blogged </a>about.
