CREEPY Gee Whized EYEBALLS





So, This weekend, I decided to FINALLY Make what’s been in my Head for sometime now... I decided to make Ping Pong eye balls. You see, I have this Flower arrangement in my guest bath, that, well, Needed a little CREEP... So, I was at the 99¢ store, and picked up a 6 pack. I had them, and instantly got SO excited to execute my vision....



If you’re ANYTHING like me, You hate when something is TOO perfect. Example: Smooth Frosting on a cake, or a perfectly polished finger nail. In this case the Ping pongs were TOO white, and clean.... NOT FOR LONG.






I wanted each eyeball to be different. My own spin. Eyeballs have always been my thing. I LOVE them and they ARE the Window to our soul.

Here they are painted... All lined up and ready to party.





Now, I took my dremel, And drilled a hole on the bottom.





Took some old chop sticks, and pushed them in.


WAH LAH!



Hope you like em’ 





MUCH BETTER Creepy!

Craft Shoe re do!

Hi Ya'll!
I was Fortunate enough to go to this Wonderful event With Mister Mark Montano.

He is extraordinary....Just in case you do not already know. He is a TRUE Gem, and I enjoyed EVERY bit of my time out and about with him.

My journey began on Thursday, March 1st. My travels from Oceanside to The Hollywood area were not the best, but the excitement got me there in no time, Excitement AND the Old school Hip hop I was playing on the RADIO... LET me tell you, I was WORKING it in my car, and Actually came up with some new moves for my ZUMBA classes ;)

So, I got there, and Mark and I had my Very first try at Ethiopian food. DIVINE is an understatement, the spices, the missing utensils, UGH! Sooo YUM!
Next stop, a cute little thrift store... NICE finds. We Thrifted, vintaged, and Jewleryed...  AMAZING! These are the INCREDIBLE Finds I found. I can't WAIT to set up my Dracula.. Reminds me of Monster Squad!

Next up, The LACMA... Where Some of FRIDA'S Paintings Reside! OH my GOD! I lost it....I embraced, I cried, and I took Pictures. I had seen her Whole Exhibit before, In San francisco, However, I can See it again and Again. Her Brush strokes, her essence... AYE It was ALL there. VERY Powerful. If your in the area, I DEFINITELY Recommend see the "Surrealist"Exhibit there. FABULOUS!







LOVE this picture Of Mark. So Serious, and Artisitic!





Time For SHOE re-DO! It was held at ETSY night at the Craft and folk art Museum, and it was a BLAST! (Glitter blast intended....)
