2013 crammed into one post

I featured some great artists in my inspire me posts, my favorite being Gris Grimly. I also kept up with my ten things posts, and my sketchy outfit series. I also started a new thing called WIP where I show the process that goes into my artwork. In January I reviewed Halo 4, got really excited about underpants, celebrated the holidays in a magical way, and bought a new house. In February...

inspire me... Chiara Bautista

Tuesday, December 31, 2013

I love when an artist's work makes you want to be in their head. When so many things are going on that are so ridiculously creative, and all you can think is "how does someone come up with all this?" That is how I feel about the work of Chiara Bautista. Stunning lines and whimsical subjects transport you to a world where imagination reigns supreme. And man do I love this imagination. Creepy bunnies,...

Holiday print outs for you!

Tuesday, December 24, 2013

So apparently, in Victorian England, if a girl refused a kiss under the mistletoe they believed that she wouldn't be proposed to within the next year. Which was a huge deal back then. Also, there are RULES to mistletoe kisses. It must always be on the cheek, and if you do get a kiss you have to take off a berry. Once all the berries are gone, that's it for the night. (More info found in this article...

Holiday Breakfast

Monday, December 23, 2013

I surprised  my fiance with a little breakfast for dinner the other night to celebrate the holidays, so I thought I would share some pictures. We had a lot of fun eating that massive pancake cake. My paper mistletoe might be my favorite part. You can print out your own here. This cake was SO simple to make. Just a lot of pancakes, strawberries in between every layer, and...

Short and to the point tonight. I love this tattoo from Niko Inko. An inspiring house that mixes all sorts of old stuff to make something beautiful. A cute, modern, and cheap DIY planter. These awesome wooden toys. Eleven women cosplayed as the eleven Doctors, and the results are adorable. Copper pipe and macrame wall hanging. My favorite moment in the LOTR movies. DIY leather tassel keychains. Adorable...

inspire me... Jeremy Lipking

The painting below caught my eye and held it there for long enough that I knew I'd be using this for my next inspire me.  This is the work of Jeremy Lipking. I love the texture people create in paintings in oil, and this work is an example to learn from, a  practice in layers. Building up and up until he's added a soul to what would usually be a simple realistic capture of a beautiful...

Human by Christina Perri on Grooveshark I put up my tiny pink Christmas tree. My scarf curtains. Held together by safety pins. Cause I'm a pro like that. Stormy sitting in our new throne like a boss. Already thinking about wedding flowers. Baby's breath will defiantly be in there. Got these from the lady that is going to do my flowers! Tee Hee. Odin loves having a toy on his head....

gift guide [fangirl style] part two

Friday, December 13, 2013

And as promised, here is part two! I've been seeing gift guides all over the internet. So here is my contribution... with my own little spin. A gift guide for a few of the biggest fandoms. I won't hit them all (you'll see that I'm missing a wormhole traveling team, and a futuristic dystopian society where they pit kids against kids, for example), but I tried to get some ideas...

Gift Guide [Fangirl Style] part one

Thursday, December 12, 2013

Okay, I've been seeing gift guides all over the internet. I really couldn't help getting in on the action, but with my own little spin. So here is my gift guide for a few of the biggest fandoms. I won't hit them all (you'll see that I'm missing two demon fighting brothers, and a brilliant British man with a purple shirt, for example), but I tried to get some ideas for what I thought...

WIP [Beauty]

Wednesday, December 11, 2013

This piece was inspired by my favorite In This Moment song, Beast Within. I love the concept of the beauty also being the beast, and I liked the challenge of creating something that could be both beautiful and fierce at the same time. I also had a lot of fun doing the really ornate background in the Jane piece, so I tried that again. First time through I sketched this over the course of a day with...

So I was going to do two posts to day (I know, blows your mind, right?), but then I saw that Kehlah Bee from Little Chief Honeybee had posted an awesome post on the artist that I had selected for this week. So I'm just going to leave that link for you here, and move onto the second post idea for today. :] A couple of months ago I stumbled upon a blog post talking about the Snail Mail Collective....

One of my favorite art purchases so far this year has been this jar of Liquid Leaf that I bought from Wal-Mart. I've been painting it on absolutely everything, haha. Many of my newest warrior girl pieces have gold war paint or a crown or anything that gives me an excuse to make the paper shiny. I was going through my project board for my new house, and I found a pin that I'd pinned a long time ago: this...

Library League: Superhero Training

Tuesday, December 3, 2013

No comments
Every other Wednesday we do an after-school program that's a little more hands on than your basic story hour. We always try to think of an over-arching theme that will tie into our summer reading theme, but this year we were drawing a blank. Until someone said we should do something called the "Library League." We instantly decided that it was too cool not to use. city background from Oriental...
