Fairy kei time~

hello lovelies!

i haven't posted in a while because i'm so busy with school ending, tests, finals, studying, ect.(and my last anime boston post that was a mile long)

i ordered a new wig from bodyline so i'll do a review some time

i also had time for decoden, i made a phone case , i'll be doing a post about what steps i went through to make it. I made it maybe a week or so ago, AND IT'S STILL NOT STANK'IN DRY!!! well, it's a little soft and i'm afraid of it getting messed up or poping the outside and having it explode like a pimple, if that makes any sense~ but yesterday I finally said screw it and just put it on your phone so yea, i'm trying to be careful not to ruin my work. Now on to the fairy kei.

craft update #2

YAY! Are you ready? it's the second craft update!

I have been working so hard on art lately (wait, am i?) because i went to to open studio events in 2 towns the past 2 weekends and saw about 100 different artists? very inspiring. I even learned about things like ecaustic... it's bees wax mixed with resin, i think i might try it. It really gives a vintage feel. 2 mixed media/ collage artists used it over old styled photos.

back to my crafts now

        1. plushies                                                                      

a pink cake 

dorian the dog

a green tea bag

i ended up using a more forest green to make this because i didn't have the right shade >^<

BUT, after i made it I went to micheals to get other things and saw THE PERFECT SHADE!

RAGE!!!

oh, also all these plushies are made of felt and are featured in the book Softies

2.lolita hat

ugh, I hate, as you all know, that it can't seam to import photos the right way!

2.giltter signs

one of my favorite words

done in martha stewart rainbow glitter

done in martha stewart pink and green glitter

4. cat ears

I made 3 pairs for the convention, one for me, my mom, and my aunt.

I FREAK'IN LOVE THIS FABRIC!

However I will not saw where i got it.

*it's fake fur by the way*

I was so honored.

At the con some guy asked my mom:

"Where did you buy your cat ears? I love them!"

them she said

"My daughter made them"

oh my god, *O*

4. crochet sushi roll

I recently just learned to crochet so this was my first project

That's all for now!

audiopathstudio review

Audiopathstudio review

hello lovies!~

taking a short break from reviewing fairy kei, pastel, stuff.

but today i will be reviewing the origami paper and straws i got from

http://stores.ebay.com/audiopathstudio

Ratings

shipping: 5/5 free shipping

quality 5/5 origami paper is shiny and embosses with wavy and star designs, straws are thin and easy to work with

value 5/5 i ordered about 100 pc of both the paper and straws and it cost under $5

pictures

le package

if i remember correctly, the straws and paper were wrapped carefully with 3 layers of bubble wrap :)

what i wasn't expecting is that they gave me a sample of a straw star! very pretty and nice, too bad they're hell to make! but if yoou go to their ebay page they have posted 2 videos with subtitles showing you how.

several colors

next up 2x2 shiny origami paper!

star embossed

ok, before i go on, here are some cons about this paper....

1. i found that the colors of the paper did not match the listing picture

see? http://www.ebay.com/itm/80pc-2-inch-Korean-Shinny-Glitter-Origami-Paper-6701-/330499872597?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4cf353d755

i don't know if it was the lighting they took it in but it's not like i'm sad or anything. also to actually find this listing on ebay i searched "2x2 purple crane paper" or something like that, but the pack only has white, blue, yellow, green, and pink. while the photos shows something like purple, pink, green ,white, peach, and yellow.

2. the number of colors where uneven, say, blue had 40 pc and white had 25 pc

3. also there are 2 different embossings, stars and wavy lines, so it takes extra effort to make cranes match.

back to photos~

bodyline review #2

Hello all \o/

It may seem strange that this is called bodyline review *2*

It's because I have ordered already from Bodyline and I am going to do a review later on

anyway~

Ratings~

shipping~ 5 of 5~ Relativly fast (for the $10 shipping rather than the $20 one)

Quality~ 4.5 of 5~ Recently the butterfly glasses I ordered broke, they weren't foldable glasses so they were hard to store, however I was able to fix them with glue. Also my mother's mouth glasses came with half of the gems broken off.
Value~5 of 5~ very inexpensive glasses, clothes are fancy, kawaii, and inexpensive!

Pictures~

haul

The 2 on the left were orderd by my mother, since she's a dentist,
while I ordered the butterfly and geek glasses for myself

As you can see some of  the gems on the mouth glasses have broken off;

but they were only $3 each! The butter fly glasses cost a little bit more

Next up are arm covers!

They were about $4 i think?

*Wait....... why did it actually import the right way?! omg it actually imported a vertical image!*

Next up are these $5 lacy socks, I saw a picture of someone on tumblr wearing them with black converse. I thought that I could add that little flair to my shoes too!

Me modeling the socks at the weirdest angle imaginable

*Gah, now it's messing us horizontal photos*

Lastly i got a jumper/romper! it's so pink and lovely.... originally I was planning to get it in yellow but I saw there were several listings, all in different colors, so I changed my mind

(I'll say how much it was at the end)

It fit like a glove, I'm so happy!

Heart shaped pockets

faux heart shaped pearls and lace trimming on the edges~

And how much did this romper cost?
$20 !

YES! SO LITTLE FOR A LOT OF CUTENESS!!!


Unfortuneately, I have no modeling photos of this right now. We checked for mail at 11 PM that night  and that's when we discovered the package had came. I'll edit this when I do get photos of myself in it!

that's all for now!

XO,

shipping~ 4/5 took about 2 weeks, but it was from Singapore, so it was expected to take that long :)

quality~ 5/5 cabochons are not painted badly, solid plastic

value~ 4/5 one cabochon is about 70 cents roughlly (small ones), but one is all you need to make a mold for your self :)

The pink package!

the cabochons were then put in a envelope printed bag (next photo) and wrapped in THREE layers of bubble wrap! very safe packaging!

(bottem right corner: little paris stamp decal) :3

i ordered: 1 hello kitty cookie, 1 chocolate drizzle glue stick, 2 heart biscuits, 1 pink rilakkuma/bear candy, 1 pink fruit tart, 1 oreo, 1 brown chocolate bar, and 1 waffle.

my mom ordered: 1 pink baby shoe charm *in honor of me :)* , 1 packet of gold eye hooks, 1 pink cat cameo, 1 dark pink skull biscuit, 1 small skull with a black bow, 1 big skull with a red bow, and one pink heart with wings
