Spring Things

Random shots of an assortment of spring buys, flowers from our garden and such like...oh and a sneak peak of Birdie in its new color

Morpheus and The Pyramid

Here are some shots of other DIY projects, I absolutely love my Morpheus necklace mostly because of the oyster shells remind me of my family's trip to the beach last year and I was able to incorporate one of my grandmother's necklaces into it as well. The pyramid clutch is a rift off of the AWang pyramid bag from a few seasons ago. I always loved it so I thought I'd try my hand at making it. I still need to make some alterations to the zipper but I love how it turned out and how different it is. Hope you all are having a restful end to your weekend. Still to come: pics of the birdie ring and "Mika" will be available for preorder!

DIY Project: Bird Ring Replica

modeling clay and x-acto knife


bird and my reference


Ring band and Birdie's eyes (which came from butterfly hair clips that used to be my grandmother's)


Cured birdie, branch, and ring band

Hey guys here are some progress shots of the Bird Ring, it was pretty simple to put together for the majority of the project. The only hard part was sculpting the bird. Its not exact of course but it think he'll look great once the the band is painted, lacquered and he's gold leafed. Stay tuned for shots of the finished product!!!!

Upcoming DIY projects

Tassel Earrings


Large Tribal Beach Bag

Bird Ring (I think I'll be sculpting this out of sculpy and spray painting it)

I'm a huge fan of DIY and I'm always surfing the web for things and like and then reverse engineering ways to create them on my own. Its fun and its much more friendly to my budget :) Stay tuned for more pics of the finished pieces!

Random fact about me: naming my characters is one of my favorite parts of being an animator/artist.

Spring Beauty Haul

here are my beauty picks for sprint (From L to R)
1-NYC Showtime Mascara and eyelash curler
2-NYC Creme stick blush in Big Apple
3-Neutrogena Visibly Even moisturizer and foaming cleanser
4-Loreal Studio Secret Primer and Youth Code Serum
5-CG Outlast lip stain in #435

I thought I'd do a beauty post because A-I've never done one and B-with spring upon us I was feeling in "beauty" mood. I love the NYC mascara, mostly because its cheap and it does a great job of keeping my lashes separated and clump free. I've found that if I put mascara on first and then curl my lashes ( i know technically you're not supposed to do that but it works fine as long as the mascara is completely dry) my lashes stay curled longer. Curling them is a must for me or they end up falling in my eyes. Neutrogena's visibly even line is a staple of mine as well, I love how smooth it makes my skin feel and the moisturizer is aaaaah-mazing! The Loreal primer and Serum are new to me, I saw the commercials for them and thought I'd give them a try. I'll keep you guys posted on how i like them.

Lets go to sleep in Paris....
