Some Drawings

I am still alive if you are still wondering.  Here are 3 drawings for your enjoyment(I hope :P )

The first one is a drawing I did with a micron pen..no pencil!  I think I may start drawing more stuff with a micron pen, it's like you need to make every line you draw count.

The next two drawings were done with a standard pencil.

I totally had an UH-DUH moment a couple of days ago. I was supposed to post a DIY project that I did, but I had a moment and posted it on my other blog.  So if you want to check out my DIY muscle tank project, click.... here !

Sparklers+Camera

I hope you all had a great & safe Fourth of July.  It felt so weird this year because it fell on a Wednesday, all I had was pizza & a strawberry pina colada(SO GOOD).

Fourth of July to me means sparklers.  That's pretty much the only "firework" that I will come in close contact with.  Many years ago in St.Louis I lit some type of firework, turned around to run away and BAM!  Ran face first into a pole, I cried so much.  It's laughable now though haha.

But let's go back to present day, here are some pictures I took from me playing with some sparklers =]

Make sure you all check out my photography tumblr , I will update it more, scouts honor.

(I look crazy right?)

New blog launch!

I stated this on my last post about my new blog venture.  Well now it's officially up and running! Click the link to head on over there to check out what I wear on a daily-ish basis :]

Am I Fashion-able ?

And always come back here for the more "artsy" crafty stuff .

Inspiration:Crystals

I have recently become interested in crystals, from their appearance to their healing powers.  Have you ever taken the time to really examine a crystal up close?  There's so much detail & it takes a great eye to be able to draw one, let alone paint one.

I one day will master a drawing of a beautiful crystal.  Practice makes permanent right?  Here are some photos of crystals & crystal drawings/paintings that are currently lighting up my soul.(click the photo for source)

Oh yeah, I have this blog.

What do you do when life takes over?

You neglect your blog :(.  Sorry I haven't been posting for awhile now.   I'm actually about to start a new blog, a personal style one to be exact.  But don't worry, this blog will still be around.

 I want this blog to be focused more on art, music & my DIY projects.  My other one will be more about "fashion"..you know, outfit postings & thrift store goodies.

Thank you to those who have been visiting my blog & checking out older postings.  I will be up and running with everything shortly.  Sit tight :)

DIY Studded Denim Vest

Another quick project, nothing too special.

I've had a denim jacket in my closet that I got from the thrift store for over a year now & I have yet to wear it.  There was something about the sleeves that felt a little bulky to me.  So, if there's something you don't like about an article of clothing..fix it!

I decided to cut the sleeves off & make myself a simple studded denim vest.

You can buy studs from ebay, I made the mistake in not paying attention to where the studs were sourced from.  I had to wait a month for my studs to come in the mail because I ordered them from..CHINA!  Oops!  Well here's the final product, & an outfit post too!

Oh! I must say that I also have this sick obsession with going to the thrift store, you can find so many goodies there!  I go to my local one about every other Sunday and always get a bunch of stuff.  I want to start looking for more homeware trinkets for my room.  

If you follow me on instagram(_Jessicatee) you've already seen my thrift store finds.  I'll probably make it a regular posting on this blog..if I remember.  But almost everything in this outfit is from the thrift store.

Music..Tuesday

Dropped the ball again with the music monday.  Sorry guys!

Why is it that artists from the UK are so freakin' talented!?  There must be something in the water...  There are wonderfully talented people here don't get me wrong..but there's just something special with UK artists.

If you have seen the new Microsoft commercial then you were probably wondering whose soulful & powerful voice you were listening to in the background.

It's none other than Alex Clare!  Once I heard that song I was so pressed to find out who it was.  Everyone should definitely buy his album, I love him.

Now I must stalk him to see when he's going to be doing a US tour.

Enjoy!
