DS106 Radio Show Reflection II
On Tuesday, I listed to the ds106 radio show called ‘Get a Clue.’ The radio show poster I saw weeks ago was so affective so I still remember and really wanted to listen to the show. The format of the show was really unique and professional. It was a flashback format so the listeners were able […] -
Mail Art
Today’s Daily Create was to make a piece of art out of mail. Although mine is simple, I liked the meaning I had behind it. I had these thank you cards from different friends hung up in my room. A lot of the time, it’s really easy for me to forget how lucky I am … Continue reading Mail Art -

Radio Show Listen Along Two
Tonight I listened to the radio shows NOIR At Night and Silk Road. Silk Road was my favorite of the two so I will talk about that one. It was a really good show, listening to it was suspenseful and had some comedy in it that made it entertaining. They had sound effects like typing, … Continue reading Radio Show Listen Along Two -

To make this I had to cut out 10 different squares of newspaper and then fold each one to make … Continue reading Mail Art -
Listening to âNOIR at Nightâ
This was a little difficult. Mostly commercials – but good ones. I think it could have been longer and more of a story line. I found it hard to listen to and keep an interest in it. I can’t really put my finger on any characters or story line here. I noticed while tweeting there … Continue reading Listening to “NOIR at Night” -

Reflections of âNoir We There Yetâ Radio Show!
I enjoyed this project very much and for the first time really got lucky with a great group! I can’t begin to explain how much better and smooth things went just as a result of having a good group with everyone doing a part! I was out of town for work obligations and was not … Continue reading Reflections of “Noir We There Yet” Radio Show! -
Daily Create 3-18-2015
The objective of this daily create was to use junk mail to create art. I used an advertisement for a gardening company and made a collage of all the things I would like to have on my farm. Then I uploaded it on Flickr. Here is my creation -
Endings Are For Losers
Tis time for the final reflection for the radio show project. Listening to the show live was INCREDIBLY weird and a little stressful… mainly because I didn’t know if people would like our show. It looks like not too many...

Paint Inventory
I started this week off by calculating the amount of paint we will need for the show, getting quotes, and inventorying our current supply of what we need. I had a lot of trouble trying to calculate the amount of paint we were going to need. With help from Niffer, the end result was: 2… -
The End of House of Noir
In a way I’m kind of sad that House of Noir is over. I had a lot of fun working on this project and putting myself in the mindset of Jack Spencer in a different way than I had been. I have never done anything with radio before so this was definitely a learning experience.… -
The future is way too close

This is how I feel about UMW asking for donations before I even graduate

Paint Samples
Last week after I color matched paint I began applying it to a sample of luan and styrofoam. After priming this piece Niffer asked if we could make the styrofoam look a little less styrofoamy. I went in the next day after the paint had dried and filed it down a little bit. It actually… -

Weekly Summary #8
Coming back from week I felt I haven’t been around for so long! Week 8 just slipped by without a notice. It was a bit rocky getting back into the routine of the assignments. Looking through all the inspirations really moved me to become inspired in some way to rethink things or think things in […] -

Inspire 4
http://inspire.ds106.us/for-sale-one-wired-greek-2/ The picture inspires me to rethink who I am as a person and who I want to truly become. The barcode that codes with the unknown person speaks for itself. We all are unique and have an identity of ours... -
Inspire 2
http://inspire.ds106.us/firefly-minimalist-movie-poster/ The poster inspires me to appreciate the person I have each day. My husband! He’s my true hero.

Inspire 1
http://www.saharalkhelaifi.com/ds106/designblitz/ The unity picture that was posted reminded me of the time I used to watch kids Vietnamese learning shows. They used to show those small to big toy things. I always wanted one. I feel the inspiration to reflect back on my heritage when I saw the picture. It really took me back to […] -
Radio Listen
The story in the radio was interesting and was relative to history seeing that women working back then was a problem. The sound they used gave affect towards their subject matter and emphasized their theme. Overlapping sound made the radio more interesting to listen to. The radio show flowed well. It didn’t seem so cut […]
