Yaaarrrgh! This ACEO was inspired by good old fashioned pirates and old school tattoos.
I’ve always really admired that style.
In other news it looks like we’ll be moving house soon although nothing is set in stone yet. What that means is that we (might) be going from having the space of a 3 bedroom townhouse to something much smaller so I’m trying to condense all of our stuff down.
What does this mean to you?
Well I’m going to be selling a lot of stuff over the next few months starting with… my ACEO’s. Yes they’ve been for sale for a while but now they are only $5 with FREE SHIPPING. Click on the pictures below to be taken to my Etsy site or if you don’t want to go through Etsy (or you want to pay in AU$) just email me at [email protected].
Hopefully next week I’ll have all the measurements and photos I need to put all the Lolita etc clothing I’ve moved on from up for sale so look out for it.
Don’t worry I’ll still be doing normal posts too so next week look out for:
Hot Roller/Updated Hime hair tutorial (with no teasing involved!)
Crafting adventure- how to do hime style on a budget
A special video that’s being made… ooow suspense 😉
Today my gift voucher for winning that Nuffnang competition arrived and I can’t decide what to do with it! Any ideas? So far I got the suggestion that I should use it to make a $10,000 ball gown for the Nuffnang awards XD If I manage to get in I totally will! Any other suggestions?
Also special thanks to everyone who nominated me for the Nuffnang awards, nominations are almost over so we’ll find out soon ^_^
Ah this little ACEO doodle is how I am feeling right now!
You know those days that just draaaaag on? The main difference between me an the cute little Lolita above is that I have a packet of Timtams next to me. Who ever invented Timtams needs a medal. Or a commendation from the Queen. I wonder if the Queen eats Timtams with her tea? I like to think she does! I bet she has an unlimited supply too. Damn lucky Queen.
To distract myself I’ve been thinking about what I’m planning for this weekend…
Trying to finish the new Blue Crane Design website… which is what I’m doing now.
Decide on a design to deco my new phone case.
Photos for 2 hair tutorials- hot rollers and kitty rolls
Dye hair (if I have time to do the above tutorials!)
Start next website for work.
Try to physically leave the house and go shopping!
Do something crafty
Sleep for a decent amount of time
Download a bunch of new iphone apps to play with and find a cute screen saver
Do at least 5 more lessons of Japanese coach, write 2 entries on Lang 8 and try to learn some more kanji
I went through a phase of painting nothing but Geisha for a while. I like the stark contrasting colours. This was a quick watercolour warm up exercise ACEO.
I bought some really cute clothes this week including a little beanie/beret thingy which actually doesn’t look terrible on me! Pictures to follow next week 😛
What have you all got planned for the weekend? This is my weekend list: -Make a dent in the new Blue Crane Design website -Maybe visit some markets tomorrow -Finish making my first 75 kanji flash cards -Eat yummy food -Re-do my nails -Think about changing the side bar layout of my blog and then not get around to changing it.
Time for breakfast!

Yes this is one of those annoying times when real life gets in the way of internet life. So what’s getting in the way? Well work mostly. We’re at a crazy point right now with a lot of projects finishing and starting at the same time so I’ve been working for like 15 hours a day, not very fun even when you have an awesome job. At the same time I’m learning to code iPhone applications (which hopefully you all will eventually benefit from!) which is hard work but fun. And on top of that for a limited time only I’m taking very cheap art commissions for some extra play money (interested? Email [email protected])
…so as you can imagine I’ve been a bit out of the loop!I’ve got a backload of posts and photos to put up here and I dyed my hair even blonder last week so I have to show you guys that too! Oh and Greazefest was last weekend too so photos photos and more photos! Argh getting a little stressed just thinking about all of this hahaha!
Tomorrow I’ve got a bit of a break in the storm so I’m going to get down to it and make some posts!
Also I’m still reading everyone’s blogs I just don’t have time to comment as much sorry!
Morning! Well it’s actually afternoon but morning sounds so much more cheerful even if it’s incorrect 😉
I didn’t have time to get an ACEO Friday post ready as Susie came over again yesterday and we spent the whole day baking and doing deco. It was an awesome day and we even took photos for the tutorial I’m making on how to make Mochi… mmm mochi.
Anyway I thought you all might be more interested in some of my cuter artwork. I drew this last time we were up at Mooloolaba when it was my birthday. As you can see it’s a typical Lolita birthday 😉
Sorry for the lack of updates this week, I’ve had a tummy bug! I’m so sick of being sick but oh well *_* There is super big news at the bottom of this post too!
So today ACEO Friday is being replaced by a special event! The lovely Vestque has done some artwork of me, how exciting! She’s taking commissions where you send her a photo and she will draw you as an anime character…
So now my major news.. I DYED MY HAIR BLONDE! I’ve never been blonde before so this is kind of scary for me, it’s kind of caramel, think Ageha with red-ish. And the black/brown tips are the same because bigen never dies *_* You all have to help me decide whether to keep it or dye it back red again! Stay tuned for photos soon!
