3 Things.

#1. Leeloo turned 2 yesterday. Happy birthday beautiful beebee!

Only 2 months here.

Now a days.

Oooooo. I will scratch your chin your ugly-cute-ugly thing! *gritting teeth*

#2. I started another crystal faceplate...but my order got messed up so the company is sending my last crystals here so I can finish it next week...bummer.

A plan has begun.

MUCH better set up this time...Instead of sitting on the floor and doing it on the coffee table, I used the real table. (why....why did I do that last time...) Also, I flipped all of the crystals to make faster transfer into the glue that sets up really quick.

Cupcake...the backround fades from a white crystal out to an iridesent crystal. And the 'cherry' is a pink opal.

#3. I QUIT MY JOB! AND WE ARE MOVING BACK TO PITTSBURGH IN JULY! (all caps- yea baby!...and bold non-the-less, Im going all out for this news.)

Goodbye storageclosetforanoffice!

So now I get it...

Now I understand why those darn gosh crystal covers are $400...THEY ARE DIFFICULT TO MAKE!

So one may think that you just grab some glue, some tiiiny crystals, and do the dang thing. Well...I would tell that person that they are WRONG and that it is not what it seems! haha...all jokes aside, this was a tedious and time consuming project I took on today. It took about 3 hours of solid work time...and about 3 of those hours were annoying. At least the end product is so SPARKLY!!!

Calm *insanity* before the storm...

Figuring things out to the best of my ability

Color pods

Here I am starting to think,

"Is this worth the hassle

...now I get the whole price thing

...gee, my fingers hurt...I am so dizzy

...'E-6000 contains a chemical known to the state of California to cause cancer' WAIT, maybe I should open some windows

...nah, it is still 90 degrees outside

...maybe I just need something to eat..."

FINALLY finished!

Swirly wirly!

Treasure trove

My eyes are buggin' from the chemicals, ya'll!


Treating myself to some vanilla bean ice cream with cream of coconut drizzled *poured* on top with chocolate chips.

YEAH BABY!

Also treating myself to the fuzz fest furry fur freak, Leeloo

I think I am going to go to bed now... I am dizzyzyzyzyyy.

P.S. Give me some comment love.

More crafts.

My cell phone had recently celebrated its 2nd birthday, which means I got to replace it...and so I did just that- with a new pink palm centro :D It is a dark reddish pink (which makes me slightly sad since they just retired the light sparkly pink one). Anywoo, I have been looking online for a pretty case that accents the pink of the phone...annnnnd I just have not found any. This is what I did find...

-extremely tacky covers, Exhibit A

-extremely awesome, aka spending $250-450, NOPE! Exhibit B and C




So I had a situation on my hands. And whenever the world wide web fails me, I must take a good long look back at myself and figure out a way. Well! I did it! I made a plan. I ordered about 3,000 swarovski crystals (seriously...three. zero. zero. zero.) from a bead wholesale store and went to the drawing board (I also ordered 4 clear cases from ebay for 10 bucks) sweet.

Here I made a stencil of my phone and went for it. These are my 1st drafts, which I am pretty content with...

Then I took some crystals I had in my bag-o-tricks and set them down to see how they would work out.

P.S. The colors on the swirly one are going to be a little different but I had to use the markers I had in my office at work.

...Oops. Did I just admit that I designed my cell phone covers when I should have been grading drawings...*shrug* Its art, right?


Ah, and I bought some more printer ink last week and got the pics all posted. See yourself in there?

Now I just need to wait...until the rest of my crystals and my cases come in the mail. I will show you pictures when I get these babys finished :D
