Small Road Trips and Super Bowl

Leave a comment

We made it to the super bowl!! Yayay. Yes, I’m a Seahawks fan.. and I’m stoked. M and I are going to be driving south tomorrow to my Mama’s house so that he can grab his pick-up. We’re going to do Super Bowl at a friends house in Salem and then M is heading home and I’m heading back to Eugene to work on business stuff with my Aunt.

Turns out, my Padre is also going to be coming up this weekend from California! That’s pretty rad and I’m happy about it.

I really need to finish up my Jackalope paintings because I’m going to give them to a friend for her birthday. So I guess that’s probably what I’m doing today. We’ll see!

Painting and more Painting

Leave a comment

That’s what I’ve been doing lately. I’ve gotten my upstairs craft room pretty well set up for not having furniture. I just need throw pillows and it would be a regular Taj Mahal. Ha. Just kidding. The floor isn’t bad though. I can stretch out and move around as needed which is good…

But back to painting, that’s what I’m up to. I’ve put away the acrylics for now due to the sheer amount of frustration they’re causing me. I just can’t seem to get them to do what I want them to do. What happened? I don’t know.

I’ve moved back to my Gauche. Opaque water colors.. YAY. No, also incredibly frustrating. But at least I’m having fun with it and it takes the work out of washing out my brushes every single time I use them. I can just rinse them out and call it good. If I don’t do a good enough job the paint is water soluble so I don’t destroy my brushes.. or actually my flooring if I happen to make a mess.

I would love to upload pictures but alas, I am without a camera! I do have my phone, and you can check my instagram for random shit I’ve been working on.

Also I suck at doing yoga. More on that later.

FINALLY

Just to get it out of the way: This post is not nearly as exciting or important as the title leads on.

I finally (see use of the title word there?) got my PC all hooked up in our spare bedroom.. or as I like to call it, my craft room. It’s been so cold here lately I just kept putting it off. This morning once I climbed out of bed I ran into the freezing cold spare bedroom and kicked on the radiator heater. By lunch it was nice and warm and I got to work. I did a lot of sorting and set up my painting station as well as getting my PC hooked up.

The Hair Tutorial

Leave a comment

I promised myself I would take pictures and write out all the steps on how I got my hair the color it currently is.. a black, blue, green, purple mix and match. The camera I used was a digital video camera, so the photo’s are not the best quality unfortunately. Regardless! Onward!

Peacock, Galaxy, Mermaid.. I prefer “Rooster Tail”

Leave a comment

I colored my hair.. and while I’m not prepared to write up my “tutorial” just yet, I thought I’d share some photos of the before and after! All of the photos, with the exception of my Instagram, were taken using my digital video camera.. which is why the focus is shit. The instragram was via my tablet!
