things i'm loving right now...

Decided I'll do this every week!

Here's a trend i've been rocking for A WHILE being an 80's/punk rocker lover at heart!

Eye-Popping Fall Trend: Indigo Shadow



“You can do a classic smoky eye and add a little indigo at the center of the lid. Or you can opt for just a flash of color by doing a wet blue dot on the inner corner of the eye. You can also blend indigo eye shadow with a brown one and do a small tick at the outer edges with blue eye liner.”

—Emily Hebert

L.A. Brewery Artwalk

www.breweryartwalk.com

"twice annual open studio weekend at the worlds largest art complex. With over 100 participating resident artists, you will have the opportunity to see new works, discover new favorites, speak with the artists and purchase artwork directly from the artists at studio prices."

i kinda want to live here...went for the artwalk this past sunday, and it was GREAT!
though i must admit the amount of ground to cover was overwhelming to say the least.
all sorts of mediums/styles, paintings, sculptures, jewelry, scarves, buttons, high end glass sculpture sinks, you want it? you got it!

it was very inspiring to be in a community of nothing but idealist creators...happens 2x a year, and i'll be sure to go to the next one in spring! saving shackels now, check!

Okay, Here Goes!

Well, here goes everything!

Creating this blog in hopes of helping my crafting business, dozens of peeps can't be wrong.

I'm uber drained from all the creative juices flowing throw the brain. It's so funny cause they've been dormant for so long and now that the dam has given way, they're flowing like crazy. 

YAY!

...but i must take this moment to apologize to my Halloween costume as I was bitten by the crafting bug about 87% of the way through finishing it and now there's prob only about 5% left. 

I will finish you before Monday! lol
