I've been doing some tattoos on people for money lately, and I thought I'd share some pics.
Devil Girl Tattoo: This one is next to a bride of Frankenstein I did a few months back. The colors are intentionally faded looking because that is what the guy wanted me to do.
Dragon Tattoo: This was the guys first tattoo, so I think he was brave getting it across his back.:)

I've actually been selling some stuff on Etsy as well as making some money through tattoos, which is super awesome!! I tried my hand at some regular types of jewelry this time. Was thinking these pearl beads look kinda elegant as well as fun. I found this pearl heart pendant at Michael's craft store, and used it as my main idea and went from there. I don't usually wear pink, or pearls but I would totally wear this jewelry set I made.

| Koala Bear Earrings |
[17 Jun 2011|01:57pm] |
I made these cute koala bear earrings to use for my blog,( http://bireaux-asaucerfulofsecrets.blogspot.com/2011/06/making-and-baking.html ) and then I thought they were so cute I decided to sell them. I like koala bears and it is a super simple and cute design, so I thought it would make a good how-to blog entry. They are much smaller then they look in the picture, so I need to get some pics on someone's ears to more accurately represent how they will look on someone.
I love these koala bear earrings and I hope someone else likes them enough to adopt them. :)

It has been forever since I posted on here, but I need to get back to it. After all I have such brilliant and insightful things to say about the world. :)
Anyway, what I have been up to lately is learning to tattoo and making miniature sculptures for earrings and necklaces and sometimes just for fun!
Here is my blog I just started about making stuff I only have one How-To post so far because I just started it today! :) There will be many more posts on how I do stuff as I get more pics taken and things created.

[11 Jul 2010|06:20pm] |
I have been on a trip back to Florida visiting my family and friends and it has been interesting coming back after being out of the state several months.
I have been having an amazing time staying in NM with Gilbert and his family; they are wonderful and fun to live with. I am getting so much done out there. I have been drawing and painting a lot and I am exploring different types of sculpture, porcelain and stone. Mostly enjoying life and relaxing.
While in town, I have had fun going to the beach, a ball game, and visiting my friends and bringing the gifts I made for everyone.
Generally it has been a fun and semi-relaxing trip.
However, I am posting because I was just so disgusted by something my parents just said. It was so ridiculous. I was sitting here and they were talking about the prison where people have to live out in tents in Arizona and how, “all of them should be like that”. Then I (foolishly) proceeded to get into a useless discussion with my mother about why it is wrong to treat human beings like animals and how I believe treating them in such a way is only making it more likely they will get worse while in there. The she was like: “THESE PEOPLE HAVE AIR CONDITIONING AND GET TO WASH THEIR CLOTHES” then I was like: what about all the innocent people that are in there as well? She says: “THEY GET TO BUY BRAND NEW SHOES WHILE THERE ARE CHILDREN OUT THERE STARVING” I say: I would hate to be in there if I did nothing wrong. She said: but with all the new technology, if they would pay for it, then innocent people could be released. Then I said: well, I know some people get out now after wasting many of their years in prison because of DNA testing, but I am so sure there are people incarcerated unjustly, and people in there on drug charges make me sick. There is no reason to be in a cage because you, buy, sell, or use drugs. Then she just kept saying stuff such as how I should go visit a prison and “see how good they have it”
I love my parents and am happy they raised me, but it is so difficult to relate to people when they say things like that. They are basically nice and caring people, so it weirds me out when they say things like that or racists things. I know they don’t mean it because they are really caring, like I said, but I think it is just ignorance. Well, I just needed to bitch about that.
It also freaks me out when my mom does this thing she used to do when I was young. She will seem fine like the day is good and everything is going well, and then suddenly and out of nowhere she will get enraged and totally pissed off at the world and everything in it. She will just start yelling and harshing my mellow all over the place. I like to live a peaceful and relaxed life with minimal getting worried or upset about things, so this environment is not good for me. I have had fun visiting; however, I can’t wait to get back to NM. I really wish she could be happy like I am. I was sitting around thinking about my parents’ relationship and it made me think of something interesting.
I was thinking about how even though Kenneth and I liked each other still and were very close in the last part of our relationship, if we had tried to stay together out of habit or fear we could have ended up like my parents. That is scary to me. I am so lucky Kenneth finally had the courage and wisdom to break up with me, allowing both of us to find a relationship that could bring us happiness in our older years. I am so happy now; however, that is not to say I wasn’t happy with him. Our relationship was perfect for both of us when we were young. He was the sweetest kindest first boyfriend any young girl could ever have. He helped me in so many ways that contribute to my happiness to this very day. He gave me the courage to be myself and to try things, and discover who I am and want to be. He taught me how to be a kind and good person like he is, and this allowed me to make more friends and love people. I didn’t grow up in an atmosphere where people showed their feeling and emotions much, so I wasn’t great at doing this until he showed me how great it could be. It is funny to me when people think I was emulating him or trying to be like him, because to me we were just so similar because of how long we had been together and how we grew up together. I don't really expect most people to understand what type of relationship we had, because from what I have discovered most people don't get such a great relationship in their whole life, much less their first one. I am definitely grateful. Though it does seem like the more you live with someone the more similar to them you become. I could tell him anything at all, even now, because I know how won’t judge me over it, and beyond that he will offer me good advice and his opinion. I wouldn’t change our time together for anything at all ever, but when you grow up things change and people change. I think it is so important to be honest with yourself and to not be controlled by fear. When I observe how my parents interact and how one can tell they love each other, but not in a way that makes either of them happy, it makes me so sad for them. :( I am grateful I didn’t make the same mistakes in life because I am very happy and I truly know what it takes to make me happy. Gilbert treats me very sweetly, like I deserve to be treated; I love him.
I miss Gilbert so much it is terrible. I want to go home right now, but I have to wait to have enough money to get there.
I guess that is all I feel like rambling about for now. :)

| What is up with me |
[24 Apr 2010|12:45pm] |
I am currently living way up in the mountains in New Mexico, and it is really beautiful here. When I left Florida it was getting hot already, but here it is super cold still, especially at night; in fact, the other day it snowed all day long. I am not quite used to the cold yet, but I love it!
I love Gilbert's family and they apparently love me too. Actually his mom said I could stay even if he moves away, which I think is funny as hell. :) I am having fun with his sisters and brother and they have been really nice to me. I taught his younger sister how to make powdered sugar in a coffee grinder when she was low on it and making a butter cream frosting, which everyone was impressed by, and I helped her with math homework, which she was grateful for. Sometimes I like feeling useful and I didn't realize I know so much about stuff in general. I am getting our trailer fixed up to make it even better, but it still needs some awesome curtains and crazy paintings put up.
I have discovered that out here I can get lots of cool thing to create with. His mom has a kiln and is letting me use some porcelain clay she has, which so far I have made a chillum shaped like a flower out of. I was liking carving pipes out of wood, but this is so cool I think I may make a few more. I also began stone sculpting the other night. I am really excited about this because it has been a thing I wanted to do for a long time. I am working in a relatively soft stone for now, but I plan to work my way up to hard stone like marble sometime soon. I have been told I can get it pretty cheap.
I have tools already because Gilbert's step father, Dave, is a silver smith and makes jewelery. He said he can teach me, so I may learn about that too. I like hanging out with him, he reminds me a lot of me personality wise, so of course I am gonna like him.
I really love his mother. I spend a lot of time just talking to her in the kitchen about whatever. The other day we were discussing art and literature. She writes college papers for a living (as well as sculpting), so she knows about a lot of things and I find talking with her to be really pleasing. We don't agree on everything which makes it fun to talk about. I think she is super great and now I have a third mom. I am collecting them like stamps! :)
I may do some landscape paintings of out here because it is really something to behold. No matter which way you look it is just amazing, especially the other day with all the snow on the trees and all.
I am having a great time living with Gilbert. He is really sweet to me and tries his best to make me happy, which he is succeeding in doing. We really get along so well. We talk a lot and share ideas for the projects we are working on and it is a lot of fun. We haven't fought over anything yet, but I am sure if we do it won't be anything major because we seem to be in the same place in life right now, and we talk about everything.
Some things I love about being with him include: I like when someone does things for me without expecting anything in return (not just sexually but in all aspects of life), and he does both of these quite often. I love talking with him till the early morning hours about whatever we want to talk about at that time. I love watching him cook me a meal and his doing the dishes while talking to me about some ideas he had that day. I love taking a relaxing bath with him with all kinds of candles burning and just enjoying life. I love our cozy little place and just sitting and listening to music in there while "chillin". I love watching old VHS tapes with him and having to take them out to tighten it up so it will play. I really love getting high and talking to him about what I am thinking and not feeling self conscious at all. I love going to bed with him each night and having him keep me warm and cozy, and them waking up in his arms. I am sure there is so much more, but I am just waking up for the day so I will have to list them later on. :)
I personally think I am the kind of person who could love living anywhere I go, but I will have to say this place is really awesome, and I am happy I decided to come stay here, and everyone is making me feel at home. The only down side to being here is how much I miss my friends and family in Florida. I know that in life changes cause you to be separated from people you love, but knowing it doesn't make it any easier to deal with.
All in all, I am happier than I had imagined I could be, and enjoying the hell out of life!

| A Dream I had :) |
[15 Feb 2010|07:13pm] |
|
I have made up my mind that as soon as possible I am going to try and visit Italy or Spain. I would definitely like to go for the culture, but I also believe (because it happened in a dream) I will find some strong and sensitive man to take care of my "every" need. He will, of course, have long dark hair, a strong manly face, and drink a lot of wine. Maybe he will be a stone sculptor or work in a factory, doesn't matter to me. We will cook together and he will show me some of his mother's recipes from his childhood. We will spend many days going about the city, listening to music and caressing each other by the fire, and laying on the bed, I in his strong warm embrace. Then, when my days there are up, he won't let me leave and I will be too smitten to want to; in the end, I live the rest of my days in some beautiful country with an amazing handsome man who I will love forever and have two children (one boy one girl, naturally). The last thing I remember of the dream was my standing outdoors in a gauzy dress with the breeze blowing through it and the sheets I am hanging out. There were rolling hills and vineyards in the background, and I was singing. :)

There are so many things I miss about today, and memories I have that are making me sad and happy all at once. I think if I write about it, it will make me feel better. I miss painting and designing that red heart frame then making the drawing for it, I miss cooking heart shaped chocolate chip pancakes and trying to serve them quick before my heart shaped butter melted, I miss sewing those flowers to the polar bear's hand during my lunch break, I miss those kissing kitties, I miss making a new and cuter card each year, I miss puppies, I miss not the candy, but the way it was given to me and so much more. It hurts a lot right now, but I know with each year it will get easier. This is not a pity me post, it is a try to relieve some pain post. I need to write about how I am feeling more instead of keeping it all in.
