Artist I Love - Illustration

Rose Wong! Her style is just amazing, I'm so in love with her illustrations!

Hand Drawings

Here are a few of my older drawings. Hands are my worst enemy. When it comes to drawing, anyways. Besides not being able to draw them well I have nothing against hands.

Also, here is a weird finger.. thing.. drawing that I did, because I really like drawing fingers.

Bloglovin'

Follow my blog with Bloglovin!

I just made a Bloglovin' account! Woohoo! I had never even heard of it until I started dipping my feet into the Blogger community, and I still really didn't know anything or understand it so I figured the best way to find out what it's about is to make one, so here we are!

Artist I Love - Embroidery

I recently came across dozeydotes' Photostream when looking through Miss Indie's blog one day. Mandy posted a picture of one of her embroidery pieces and it was gorgeous, so I had to go check out more! All I have to say is: Swooooon!

My First Blanket!

I almost have three-quarters of my very first crocheted blanket done! I'm so happy with it so far and I can't wait to finish it! The color pattern I have going is 1 2 3 2 1 2 3 2 1, and I'm on row 12 out of 17. Now don't look too closely or you'll see all its flaws. I started this blanket after knowing how to crochet for about a week, so its definitely far from perfect. I think that just gives it character though :)

Moss Graffiti

I just recently heard of moss graffiti, and lets just say my mind is blown. It is one of the neatest things I have, or ever will see.

(Images have click-throughs to source)

What's the coolest part about moss graffiti? How easy it is to do!! You need a blender, and I don't have one or I would have made SO MUCH already and posted a DIY. But This website has nice instructions on how to do it yourself!

River Arts District

In the city, there is a place called the River Arts District. It is exactly what it sounds like, too. It's a little area that is filled to the brim with artist studios and galleries and old abandoned factories, right off the French Broad River. This is my favorite place in the entire world. It's covered with color. Even the houses in the neighborhoods in the area are bright purples and greens and blues and every other color. Even almost every shop has a mural painted on it. And there are a dozen abandoned buildings that are extremely old. One of my favorite parts of the River Arts District is this heavily graffitied spot where I took some outfit photos at one day.

I have a feeling you'll be seeing the River Arts District a lot on my blog. It's amazing.
