Remember my Gossip Girl binge? Yeah, over that. I'm watching Once Upon A Time now thanks to this chick and just finished the first season last night. OH MY GOD it's exactly how she described it- like it's one of those 'bad good' shows. It's cheesy and bad in the beginning, but you let it take you in and then it just grips onto you and you can't stahp. You can't!
Someone else at work got so excited that I started watching it, and was asking me where I left off. I told her that last night I finished the first season, and was devastated that Netflix only has the one on there. lol She's like I'LL GIVE YOU MY HULU ACCOUNT INFO. WATCH SEASON 2.
She did. And oh...
I will.
UGH THE WORST CLIFFHANGER
I have a lot of work to do though, outside of my job. People at work are ordering charms again, and there are a lot that I need to get started on today and also throughout tomorrow.
Also... I've decided that I'm gonna start selling them online since so many people are interested. I feel bad... I WANT to sell them it's just... I'm literally mentally fucked up to the point where money means absolutely nothing to me in regards to the post office. LITERALLY NO. So how is this going to work? Well... there's a drop off box at the end of my street.
That's it.
All I need at this point are bubble mailer thingies and stamps. And baggies. and maybe some shit to put in there so they don't move around and break or something. Thing is they're fragile and can break; they're not made of cement! So I worry for that as well. But I did get some things yesterday from my trip to Michael's that will make my charms and crafting of better quality.
x. Soft pastels
x. Rubber grip taklon brushes (purple and cute as shit. Wtf is taklon tho idk)
x. Dotting tools
x. Sandpaper
x. Jump rings
x. Paint trays
x. Amazing super fancy glue that Rot wants to get his hands on again!
x. Storage case
Also, my new tub of glaze arrived in the mail the other day. Oh happy day :D
I was using my old bento boxes to mix paint in. lol Kawaii and ghetto, that's me. Ew, lol psyche.
These should make mixing SO much easier x_x omg... it was the last one, too!
Not only are they pretty... but they're pretty. And the grippies ^_^ heee
And they match all my other purple stuff :B HEE
THESE.
I'm so happy I got my hands on these. They're useful for pretty much everything and I'm an idiot for not acquiring them sooner. Dotting tools are just... omfg. PRAISE JESUS
Shading is something I've never been good at, but I'm slowly trying it. The most recent shading I did that turned out alright was on my Grey Rock Worm. It's got a shit green tint on a grey-ish brown textured body. The shading was done with acrylic, but I'm sure if it had been with pastels it would've come out so much better. So... here we go.
Peemps.... NO.
:3 All of these were also in another one of my bento boxes. My little Korok's cello head broke off from clanking and stuff so much against the other charms. Now he shares a little room with the Piranha plant ^^
And it's kind of stupid how relieved I am to have sandpaper. Working with white clay is BLEUGH.
There's always some little hair or dust shit that ends up on it no matter how many times you wipe everything off, and even use scrap clay to collect dust from your fingertips and mat. IT JUST IS A DIRTY LITTLE JEZEBEL picking up everything it comes in contact with and not letting go. So...
I'll sand the dickens out of it so it cleans it up after baking. :D mwahaha! Makes it way easier lol
The funny thing is I never really was a crafty artsy type person. All this creating stuff is like lolwtf, and happened at random. My soul motivation to start it was because I want all these toys but am too cheap to buy them, and I can't always find exactly what I want. Where the hell am I gonna find a cute little vinyl drider doll? DO YOU KNOW? CUZ I DON'T.
I did find this really awesome sculpture of a Mind flayer on Etsy for $125.00. Was pretty bad ass... in fact...
Like... who in the world doesn't want that? AMIRITE? It sold years ago, but I flirted with the idea of purchasing it for myself. Ugh. I regret.
POINT BEING: yeah... I can make my own damn adorable cute little guys and stuff, and like... make little things for them and stuff. I LIKE DOLLS, STFU.
So yeah... I dunno. It's probably the only craftsy thing I can do, or even care to do. I used to enjoy drawing, but I was never good at shading or color, just outlines. Kinda useless. Unless you're Marco Galli. But I assure you, I am not Marco Galli. Nor do I wish to perfect the patience he has mastered in his skill of doing absolutely perfect line art that probably took FOREVER. I dunno.
I guess it's just weird to me. Never really have I felt I'd be the kind of person to end up at a crafts store... at will.
Honestly though I think it's just because I don't want people to think I'm a hippie.
dreadlocks + crafts = (hippie)?
Ugh. Gross.
I really like this picture. See? Hippies, albiet dreadlocked, do not have smooth legs or clean white socks. Let alone animals on their feet. They probably don't even believe in beds. They're too busy sleeping naked in hay somewhere, making out with frogs and eating shrooms and not shaving.
This picture has absolutely nothing to do with anything at all.
Rot just came in here and put his head next to mine, and started shaking it. So I did too. We're like convenient store bells when someone walks through the door.
