Spring Bees Body Paint & Art
We all have things we're allergic to. Some people are allergic to specific foods or can't handle certain things (nuts, gluten, lactose, etc.) and then there are those that are allergic to other things (pollen, dust, animals, etc.). I fall into the last group. I'm allergic to bees. Not to a deadly degree, but if I do get stung by them or wasps or get any other kind of bug bite my skin balloons ridiculously. Add on the fact I'm allergic to the medicine commonly given to deal with that swelling, it's a fun combination. Since Spring is returning, that means bees are going to be coming back. So, I thought it would be fun to body paint them this week.…
View PostI Tried Following a Bob Ross Tutorial Digitally
I decided to follow a Bob Ross tutorial digitally today on stream. But to give myself more of a challenge, I was only allowed to use "weird" brushes. So, not your typical flat brush, oil paint, or line brushes. I had to use the artistic ones. Those that have weird textures or designs. This also went for any smudging or blending that I had to do. In addition, to keep with the traditional style art I could only use one layer. The tutorial I ended up following was Tropical Seascape from Season 12 Episode 9 of The Joy of Painting.…

This month I've been kind of offline, mainly as A LOT has been going on. Since, I haven't done one of these in ages, I thought I would share what's I've been up to.…
View PostRoad to Rediscovery: Revisiting Old Hobbies
Something I've been trying to do lately is getting back to my old hobbies. After high school I kind of left them behind mainly due to limited time and poor mental health. These hobbies being drawing, writing, and reading. Now I also paint, which I have not stopped though I do so sparingly as I don't need a million canvas especially right now while I'm in a tiny space. And as much fun as makeup is I don't want that to be my only hobby. So I'm revisiting the ones I left in the past to see if they interest me again now that my mental health isn't as god awful.…
View PostSunrise Lake | Paint Nite with my Sister | AD
For national sibling day, a previous Paint Nite blog post I did got shared on their main page so we got free tickets to any night of our choosing. So we agreed upon Sunrise Lake, which looks rather complicated but a lot of fun. If you've never done a Paint Nite, I highly recommend it. Not just because we got free tickets to Paint Nite but because I love going to these. To be honest, my sister and I were already planning to do another one anyways and the free tickets just made it so much easier for us.…
View PostGuillermo Del Toro: At Home With Monsters Exhibit
Last night, my roommate and I went to the Guillermo Del Toro Exhibit at the Minnesota Art Institute. And I was insanely excited about this as I love horror, art, and movies from Guillermo Del Torro especially Pan's Labyrinth. And one thing that I love is how this is all from his Bleak House, which came about because his wife didn't want one of the pieces of art up in their kitchen so he ended up buying a whole new house just for his collection. And now going to lie, Rose and I have been trying to make our own exhibit to our favorite things in our townhouse quite similar to this. Maybe not to the same extreme but yeah.…
View PostPlaying With Makeup, Recreating Look by Kandee Johnson
This is an extra blog post for the day just because I got bored and decided to recreate a look I saw Kandee Johnson do. Sometimes getting better at makeup and developing your own style is just to play around with makeup. I used the Urban Decay Full Spectrum palette, Ciate London Fierce Flicks eyeliner, and Tanya Burr Matte Lip in Christmas Stocking. The only way you can get better at doing makeup is just messing about. One thing I tend to avoid are bright colors, but I got the full spectrum palette so I can start creating those types of looks. And I hadn't messed around with it, I just left the palette in my makeup organizer until a day I thought of some look for it. When I saw this look by Kandee Johnson, I decided I should take out the palette and mess about with the colors myself.…
View PostDIY Bauble Christmas Wreath
Last year I made my own Christmas Wreath using tissue paper and some ornaments. And so I thought this year I would make another one, but this time I'm making it out of a wire cloth hanger and Christmas bauble ornaments. Which is probably the easiest wreath to make but looks so good!…
