I feel like I'm dying.


I dyed my hair red last august 2011 and it's been a natural bright looking red and a natural dark red ever since. Last night I decided to dye my hair an unnatural berry bright red. I also was curious as to how it'd look if I did my eyebrows as well. (I'm actually thinking about shaving them off completely in the future sometime. Notice my artwork*) So here I am with the dye sitting in my hair. I'll upload some pictures of how it turned out later.

(Please excuse the weirdness that is my facial expression.)

*update* So it came out really bright at the top of course where my roots were and it gets darker the further it goes down, which is kind of nice, I like the gradiation from bright to dark. The eyebrows I was a little worried about but they actually look quite nice. This very bright red really brings out the pinks in my cheeks and lips I noticed, and there's not as much emphasis on my eyes.

Honey, I've got problems.

 I've been very very busy with school recently, only eight days left though! So I've fallen behind on this years goals. I plan to make up for it later. For example, I'm writing on two "Honey artists" instead of one this month because I didn't have time to write one last month. So here's a bio I pulled off of CallowLily's website and some of her artwork along with a short paragraph of my personal thoughts.

(P.S. I usually just pull already made biographies off the artists website and add a few personal paragraphs as well. I do not claim any of their words as my own.)

Everything must end.





“It is important to look at death because it is a part of life. It is a sad thing, melancholic but romantic at the same time. It is the end of a cycle - everything has to end. The cycle of life is positive because it gives room for new things.”
- Alexander McQueen, Autumn/Winter 2009-10

Dark bloom


Last weekend I went antique shopping as you may know. My sister and I revisited some and also looked at a new one (new to us). There were a lot of really neat things at all of them. I only wish I had enough money to buy everything I wanted. The idea was brought to my attention from my mom that I could buy some antique frames for my artwork, so I'm really looking forward to doing that.

I ended up buying a very adorable old black velvet hat with a veil and a pleated ribbon design in the back.

Mood swings


So over the weekend it was very warm weather, I wore t-shirts and shorts. Monday there was a cool and rainy afternoon and just yesterday it was in the 50s and raining/snowing. Today it's back to nice warm weather, short sleeves. It's funny and slightly annoying how dramatic the weather changes here.

Rain when I woke up yesterday morning...

What's even more annoying is how they'll close the schools when there's hardly any snow and then keep them open when we actually have a reasonable amount of snow. We probably got more snow yesterday than any other snow day during the winter.
