    lots of time in the sun drawing in the sketchbook . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖ . ݁ and finishing the panda stamp :3

    i was killing time during my mid-week lull and got into a little pre-shower makeup, so thought I'd share ^^

    the makeup i used was not ideal for face painting at allll - i mostly used lipstick, eyeliner, and a white foundation corrector. I liked doing it so much, though, I'm kind of currently looking into face paints to use when i feel like it. Maybe I'll post more who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    okay i also drew and colored my face this week <3 I never do self portraits, but i felt like she really emulates me and i love her


    she is marker and oil pastel on cardboard and I'll probably put her in my bedroom somewhere or something

    & here's the reference picture <3


    i like her so much maybe i'll make a small army of big mouthed me's

    This was kind of the little project I was referring to in my past post? My initial idea was to use this reference picture and make my face into a 3d paper mache piece or even a mask, but the thought kind of overwhelmed me. I haven’t finished my chuck e cheese project, and have barely started my unicorn project :,) so I guess this idea can wait? Idk that hasn’t stopped me before, we’ll see what happens D:

    kicked off the weekend going to my favorite bargain store and got this top. It was $3 and I love it a lot but the front is blank, so naturally I’ll be adding a little something :D I got a plain white spaghetti strap too, but I have plans for that already. (you’ll probably see that next week :3 )

    Of course, more hula hooping in the park- I was there for like an hour every day this weekend and it was glorious. I’m walking/hooping like a maniac and I’m much better at hooping on one foot. Maybe sometime I’ll actually learn some tricks and cut it up in the park on the field all summer 

    When I got home I flattened some cans for future projects and trimmed the can pieces from the stained-glass inspired Tulip I was working on last week. I thought the pieces being so close together kind of made everything look kind of busy, so I wanted to space everything out a bit instead.

    ｔｈｉｓ ｗｅｅｋ： new shirts / sketchbook

    I’ll be customizing my new shirts from the discount store this week. I want to do more drawing because these last few pages have kinda felt like duds :/ I’m putting all the cans and such away for now, I think. I kind of thought about trying my hand at a mobile like I had mentioned before, but now I’m re-thinking the whole thing.. .. .. . .. . I’ll check my half-finished project pile and see what calls my name

    Thank u for stopping by I’ll miss u wanna kiss u


    Til next time

    more doodles, aluminum can art, & hula hooping

    Good evening and happy Monday !!

    I had a full week last week

    ᗰOᑎᗪᗩY

    I decorated a little trinket shelf for my wall <3 

    TᑌEᔕᗪᗩY & ᗯEᗪᑎEᔕᗪᗩY

    I caught up on some reading: I’ve finished up Lord of the Flies and Clockwork Orange and have now started on Make room! Make room! By Harry Harrison and Tender is the flesh by Agustina Bazterrica.


    I also did some drawing in the sketchbook

    ((last one is old, i just felt like re-visiting))

    TᕼᑌᖇᔕᗪᗩY 

    I finished painting the chicken purse strap!

    I spray painted grey stripes onto my hoodie’s hood. I think I’d like black better, though, so I’ll be spraying it again when I get the chance.

    I also added more faces to the yellow maxi dress. I’ll probably replicate the design on the back and add another pattern along the left side to better conceal the stain D: 

    VVVVV the song that carried me into the weekend / great hula hooping track


    ᔕᗩTᑌᖇᗪᗩY 

    I inherited more cans from Miriah today!! (thank you again <3) My cup runneth over with cute materials so I’ll be using them every chance I get. 

    I tried something new to me, and used a few cans to put together a framed piece using a stained glass pattern. This is the first time I’ve done this and I think I like the outcome? I feel like it could be a little more structured in its’ appearance, though. I was thinking of adding a black outline to the individual shapes with a marker. I also considered trimming the pieces so that they’re not touching- so then it looks as if it has a white outline. I think that may look more cohesive. I might try the latter

    I also cut up a few cute monster cans in what I hope turns out to be a cute set of earrings and maybe a little charm bracelet? I love the designs on these in particular. I have some ideas, but will definitely be experimenting with materials ^^ I made a few little butterflies, too - those will need some work aswell but I think they’re cute so far ♡ ♡ ♡

    ᔕᑌᑎᗪᗩY

    Had so much fun hula hooping at the park. It was hot and beautiful out and I’m getting so much better at walking back and forth while I hoop. I can also hoop while I stand on one leg. It occurred to me that in my first blog post I reference that ability as a goal of mine! Consider it achieved :,O

    When I got home I made this small panda stamp. I still have to carve its’ outline but I think it turned out so cute. I’ll definitely be adding it to my tote bag.


    ♡

    ᴺᵉˣᵗ ʷᵉᵉᵏ: new project? More can art and better drawings

    I have a new project idea and I really want to start. It’s another paper mache piece, and while I do have 2 I’m currently working on. . . I’m probably still gonna start it (: will update with progress if I make any ⋆｡°✩


    I'll keep cutting up cans too, and give some new ideas a try there.


    I want to do more drawing as well - ideally drawings i like better because i didn't love what i got from last week :|

    diy holidays & upcycled crafts: can art, garlands, etc.

    canart diyart upcycledart

    Hey!!! I missed you ♡ hi again ♡

    My last post wasn’t a typical update, but instead a small tribute to the La Mesa Chuck E cheese location ( if you’re interested c: )

    Aside from that , I did work on some clothes too

    I spent plenty of time adding to the stay a while page too ! It just keeps getting fuller and I love it. I added a craft tutorial for tall can roses to the page if that sounds fun :-) I really like to try and share unique upcycling crafts, and this one is super doable with stuff I just had around the house.

    On the subject of upcyling, I also got a chance to just touch the surface and brainstorm some fun holiday DIYs for myself <3 I want to make a few cute garlands for the apartment and decided to use some materials I’ve had sitting around. 

    Image description
    Image description

    I plan to make a few from fabric scraps, felt, and thread and the others with chip/cardboard and oil pastels. I don’t want to go overboard and overwhelm myself with a little season side project, but thinking up different themes was pretty fun. They shouldn’t take too long, so I’ll probably finish at least the cardboard ones in the next few days or so. Of course, once I do, you’ll be seeing them. :)

    I didn’t do any painting last week, and haven’t for the past few weeks. I don’t think I’ll force it. It’s not even that I don’t want to, I just feel a little frozen in place when thinking of putting work into a canvas. I hope I thaw out soon. Other stuff ‘til then.

    ᴺᵉˣᵗ ʷᵉᵉᵏ: ᴴᵒˡⁱᵈᵃʸ ᴰᴵʸ & ˢᵗᵃᵐᵖ ᵃᵖᵖᵃʳᵉˡ & ʷʰᵃᵗᵉᵛᵉʳ ᵉˡˢᵉ ᴵ ʰᵃᵛᵉ ᵗⁱᵐᵉ ᶠᵒʳ

    I’ll be doing more holiday stuff this upcoming week J Working on the garlands, and maybe looking into other holiday DIY ideas? I hope to get inspired for new stuff to try, and will probably put together a short little list to add to the stay a while page. I hope you decide to give a few a try this holiday season if you need heartfelt gift ideas <3 or if you decide to take a look at some of the small businesses I have linked there too!

    Additionally, I did lots of drawing on apparel projects, but would like to stamp a small pile of personal pieces when I get the chance.


    As far as personal projects, I also hope to make a trip to the library this week and will see what it would take for me to borrow/ have access to a sewing machine! I think that’d be a really cool resource, and will get back on that. If you don’t already, I highly recommend getting a library card at your public library for a myriad of reasons. As if free access physical media wasn’t enough, a lot offer tools and resources that are also available for free. I’d check the website for yours to see what they have to offer. Library bookstores are also pretty much my go-to for purchasing my books when I decide I’d like to own. With paperbacks starting at 50c, you really can’t beat it. support your local library.

     

    Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a lovely thanksgiving however you plan to celebrate.


    I’m thankful for my loving partner, Pina (happy 18th birthday!!!!), the roof over my head, and the car I drive. If you are reading this, I am thankful for you too. If you're not, I'm most likely thankful for you anyway, because other people probably are too. I’m a lucky lady. I’m also thankful I have a working body and eyes and the ears I need to hear this holiday classic. 

    Happy days

    Til next time
