Hi, I'm Jen and this is my blog!
I am an aspiring "artist librarian." An artist librarian
isn't really a profession, but a term I made up to describe my educational
journey. My undergraduate degree is in art and I will be attending graduate
school for my Masters in Library & Information Science with the goal of
becoming a children's or young adult (YA) focused public librarian. Reading and
art have been my two life-long loves, so why not combine them? I've always heard that bloggers should focus
on one thing when blogging, but I've decided to try to prove this idea wrong by
chronicling my adventures in arts, crafts, reading, studying librarianship, and
more! I’d also like to emphasize that
this is my personal blog. All views are my own and not connected to my school
or any other affiliates.
Artist:
My formal training has been primarily in drawing and painting, but I've attempted to branch out into other media such as printmaking, sculpture, and fiber art ... As a result, I am a bit of a "jack of all trades, master of none" type. Well, I'll let you take a look yourself and decide ...
I am a life-long crafter and have a high respect for
artisans and craftsmen. I've delved in many arts and
crafts such as crochet, knitting, jewelry making, origami, balloon twisting,
sewing (primarily clothing), and more!
I also enjoy costuming and have recently begun to focus on
it ... I'm excited to expand my sewing skills and explore prop making, wig
styling, and armor building as well. You
may also see blog entries related to my favorite media fandoms (e.g. films,
t.v. shows, etc.) …
Librarian:
I'll read almost any book or genre once, though I gravitate
toward "cleaner reads" in the Christian or Inspirational genres. My
favorites are fantasy, historical, and Juvenile or YA fiction. I'll also read
nonfiction and comics on occasion. I
hope to use this blog as motivation to write reviews and update my goodreads account more consistently!
I’ve been commenting around the Christian/Inspirational book-blogging
sphere for several years now (as Lady DragonKeeper), but never got around to
starting a blog until now. Since I am new to this part of blogging, any
tips, suggestions or advice regarding blogging and reviewing would be
appreciated!
So that's just a bit about me and and the types of things
you might expect from me and this blog ... God bless and thanks for stopping
by!
Jen a.k.a. The Artist Librarian
