I went to an intense six-year architecture program for college, worked for a couple of years as an architect after graduation, got burned out, and defected into the world of art museums (yay!). I sometimes feel a bit sheepish for doing so, but I know I made the right choice. It just didn’t make me happy. But, I am happy to say, the schooling was not for nothing. If it were not for those six years, I would not have my finger calluses from using the X-Acto knife for hours on end, building little models of houses and hospitals! These calluses are going to come in handy when I attempt these lovely paper projects!

My most complicated project is most likely printing our entire invitation suite by hand. Intaglio what what. That will probably take 2034 years.
Wow ! Great to see some real creativity and originality.
Don’t feel ashamed that architecture felt wrong for you and you changed to a beter direction. It’s your life – and it’s not a dress rehearsal.
Best wishes for a long and happy marriage.
PS: don’t be afraid of your dreams !
You guys are seriously upping the Bee ante! I can’t wait to see the outcome
BUT if you hadn’t given up architecture you could just have the laser cutter cut it out for you…no blisters
I’ve often debated the switch myself.

He was attracted to my intensity, and I was mesmerized by his trivia pursuit skills and his dorm furniture adorned with his initials. We've grown more sophisticated through the years, with our love of wine, owning a house together, and parenthood (of a cat), but we have not lost our silliness or childish sense of humor!
