♥*~*♥♥*~*♥Patterns Tutorial♥*~*♥♥*~*♥

Alright, Kiddo's. Today we are talking about... PATTERNS!
Lately, during my time away from this blog (no excuse, I know), I've been working on making patterns. Nothing too extravagant. Something that is simple and would work great for computer backgrounds, stationary, and craft projects. I hope you enjoy this video tutorial. Let me know if you have any questions :)

Animated Adventures and Accomplished Goals

Hey guys! I know that it has been a long, long, long, loooong time since I updated. However, I have got some great news. I started and completed a short animation! Now to some this may seem like a small feat, but to me, it is like a dream come true.

Updates

Hey all!
It' has been a while since I got on here. So I know that some are probably wondering how my new years resolution is going. So far, I think I am doing good. I am drawing and writing more and just focusing on my goals. I have not been posting as much so I need to change that. But I do have some news!
I've entered a Nickelodeon T-shirt Design Contest on Threadless and here are my designs!




I am super excited about this because this is my first design contest, ever! Please be sure to vote :)

♥ Avocado ♥

After a long time away, I decided that it is time to come back with a little something for ya! This is my first tutorial and I hope you guys will enjoy it :)

Sketches! Yeaaaa-yuuuuuh

Alright. For the past month or so, I have been neglecting you. So focused on my work, writing, and responsibilities, I was. But now... now I have a few sketches to share with you. *laughs like a crazed woman*

I will have more later this week.

Magical Time Traveling Jewelry

So the other day, I was looking through some of my unfinished projects and I found a locket which I embellished with vintage watch parts. I have a nasty habit of starting a personal project just to stop short and put it on the back burner. Anyway, after staring at the pendant for a while, I decided to put it on a silver chain along with a bronze key and red flower. I am so happy that I did because I love the end result. It inspired me to write a back story about the necklace. I'm going to include it in one of my tales.

Tea Tea's Treats is now open!

Hey everyone, I just opened my  etsy shop today! There are some pretty cute things in there so if you'd like to take a gander, just click on the Shop link above :) I will be making new items and posting them throughout next week.

New hobby and possible art style

So I think I may have found a new hobby and art style that I am comfortable with. Last year, all I did with photoshop elements was edit digital photography for the printer and draw. But today I decided to do something new with this program, I decided that I would do "photo makeovers" (or touch ups???). I think that it is so fun to be able to just totally re-invent yourself and show how you feel about/see yourself through the use of art. It's cool to discovering something new about yourself through the use of your talents.

My hubby says I look stalkerish in this picture ;3;
but that's alright cuz rainbows make everything better <3

Wiggin Out

     Alright, I know that I have not been around for a while and I do apologize. I have just been sooo busy. What, you busy, nooooo. Well, yes actually, and I have the photos to prove it! Now you may have noticed that my profile picture has change ^w^ Well, a while back, I was thinking about coloring my hair. I wanted a dramatic change without it being permanent. In my last post, I was wearing  colored bangs. I like it so much that I decided to invest in wigs!

     I received a lot of questions on why I wanted a wig. I would get "You don't need a wig, your hair is so pretty" or "why would you want a wig, your hair is already long!" I want a wig the same reason other people wear wigs, versatility. Not to mention that about 10+ years of Sailor Moon intake soon had me yearning for bubble gum pink hair! I also bought the wig because of style. I love my hair length, but sometimes seeing myself with a short cut makes me feel all sassy :)



Coming soon in my next post: A Day on the Town (featuring my friend Arie, me, and this awesome wig)

Crackle Nail Polish

Hey there! I am so excited about this new nail polish I bought. I don't paint my nails often, but it is fun when I do! I'm pretty sure many of you know about OPI's Shatter and China Glaze's Crackle nail polish. These polishes are selling like hotcakes and the stores can't keep them in stock because so many people want this polish! Forget about purchasing them from ebay (the prices are ridiculous!). I really wanted some of this magical nail polish, so I searched all over to find one that would be of good quality and not dent my wallet.



That's when I discovered "Mia's Secret Crackle Nail Polish". I looked to youtube and amazon to see how well this polish worked and there were a lot of great reviews and a small amount of bad ones (I think it was because not many people knew how much polish to apply).

I knew that I wanted a cute look, nothing to serious, and because this was my first time using this nail polish, I decided to go with a white polish with a small amount of glitter. I used Claire's Icing Brand Nail Polish for the white and glitter and I used Fingerpaints base.

I am very happy with the end results <3
