I’ll be selling my ceramics, stuffed monsters, and balloon jewelry.

 

Yay!

I finished!

I just finished a 12 page reasearch paper about my great grandmother.  It was interesting to write, and in the process I sign up for the 2 week free trial on www.ancestry.com

It’s cool!  you type in names and they can give you the census records, spouses, mom/dad/sibling/ages, births, deaths.   It’s pretty neat!
Now I’m ready to make some more stuff for my etsy shop! woo!

New pin and the love of my life…

And now for something on a lighter note.  Some of you have met my boyfriend Ryan…  Now get ready to his other side… his… Bee Side!

Yay Ryan!  He always makes me smile! ^_^

And tonight…

I played around with a new polymer clay technique tonight and came up with this pin-

I think that I may be in love with it…   I plan on wearing it while I’m out face painting ^_^

 

 

 

3D Design

For my design class we had to make a chair out of cardboard using only cardboard and water activated brown packaging tape.  I decided that I wouldn’t use the tape.. I made my entire chair like a giant puzzle that fit together.  I also made myself a sketchbook out of cardboard and a writing utensil which was just burned cardboard…

Feast your eyes on my recyclable chair!

Purim Body Painting…

I did this body painting this past Saturday for a Purim Party in Virginia Beach.

 The model is the wonderful Jessica Page of TTN Productions(www.TTNproductions.com)

New Work Coming..

I’ve been making jewelry for hours today.. I hope to get it finished and in the shop(My etsy shop.) soon.  I have to leave this weekend to be in Washington DC.  I’ll be face painting Saturday and Sunday at the Washington DC Convention Center.  Sounds like a lot of work, but it will be nice to see my face painting friend Carol. 

I have to go rent a car tomorrow, just so that I can get to DC.  My car has been overheating for the past couple of days… ugh.

 I need a new car so badly.. I’m sure that I’ll get one someday, but until then, I’m at the mercy of my vehicle.  Cars are SO STUPID. 

You Know You’re A Face Painter If…

..you wonder why people are staring at you until you remember you
decided on a monster face today.

…your hands are rainbow colored.  All the time.

…you have mastered the art of scratching your face by stabbing the
spot with the edge of your fingernail.

…you always scratch your face that way because you can’t remember
whether your face is painted or not.

…you have mastered the additional skill of eating and drinking
without touching your lips.

…you go to bed without washing your face, because you didn’t
remember your face was painted.

…your family LETS you go to bed that way, because they are so used
to seeing you painted, they don’t even notice.

…the people at church no longer do double takes when you come in
after working that afternoon.

…bald heads and very pregnant women make your hands twitch.

…you know and understand the great importance of the difference
between light pink and dark pink.

…you have three or more of any one color of paint.

…sponges are a good present.

…your children no longer pay to GET their faces painted, you have to
pay THEM to get their face painted.

…bare skin looks empty.

…every member of your family has at least one piece of glitter on
their person at all times, even the furry ones.

…you have a love/hate relationship with Spiderman.

…your canvas giggles.

I made the worlds most recycled apron!

In my sculpture class we had to make armour for ourselves that would protect us from a fear.

 What did I choose as my fear?   Wastefulness!  That’s right, and it’s all too true.

 I can’t stand to throw things away… It breaks my heart.  And so I made an apron out of junk that my family would have thrown out anyways.  This included plastic bags, aluminum soda cans, an old pair of jeans, laundry detergent bottles, and shampoo bottles… oh.. and a couple of balloons.

pics to follow soon!
