(1) · Overall I've learned that I'm capable of writing sheet music. I've improved my playing skills and I've also greatly improved my sheet music skills. Knowing that I created this song makes me feel even more confident about the other works I will come to create in my life. I've also learned that gettin (1) · Resin is way more finicky than I ever imagined. It's also not safe to touch without gloves. That was a good scare. Also, fur fabrics are the bane of my existence, but they're worth using because they cover up seam mistakes (also if you use the right ones, they're such a nice texture!). I also lear (1) · The project is nothing like I pictured it would be in the beginning, but I think that's okay. The purpose of capstone was to get us to do something new, and, in kind of an indirect way, I have done that. Hopefully that will be enough. Nothing about this end to my senior year is really satisfying or (1) · This project was my first time making brownies in particular from scratch. I was also modeling my recipe so they would look similar to the cosmic brownies I compared them to. I also learned a lot about ingredients and what all is put in the snack cakes you see in stores.
