Room Tour!

My bedroom is one of my very favorite places in the world. I recently rearranged a little bit and I thought it would be a good time to do a room tour!

The fake wood siding on the walls used to drive me crazy, but I couldn't get rid of it because the walls underneath are completely covered in glue. But I'm kind of starting to warm up to it... I'm probably just going insane.






















My bureau lives across from my bed. As is evident by the Winnie the Pooh stickers on the drawers (which have proven impossible to remove), I have had it for a very long time.
I slung a scarf over the mirror to hold pins, earrings, and such. I use teacups and this cute tin from Bariloche to hold other stuff.

A few years ago, I covered my side table with pictures of old rave flyers and images from the 80s and 90s. Even though I was only around for half of the 90s and none of the 80s, I feel really nostalgic about stuff like this.
This corner needs some work. For starters, I really need a new desk! This one is way to small to work on and the drawers don't work. Also, I could really use a new chair. I stole this one from the kitchen a few months ago. Shhh!
 These shelves are immensely helpful. All of my supplies for projects are in one place! In the top right shelf is the set of encyclopedias I often use for collaging or just inspiration, and the shelf below has other helpful reference books. My phone, which I found (fully operational!) at an antique store, is also kept here.


On the other side of the room is my closet and bookshelf. I also keep my body form here. It really comes in handy with sewing projects!
My bookshelf houses some book collections, magazines, and, of course, my unicorn collection. Oh-and I have a "message board" behind it where people write random stuff.

My closet looks a bit disorganized, but I know where everything is! I keep fabric and other supplies in a compartment here.


A door shoe organizer has always come in handy to store random stuff, and I keep all of my jewelry on top of a second bureau in the corner. 


I hope that wasn't too boring! Some more interesting photos are coming soon. 
I would love to hear some feedback in comments about what people would like to see or what I could be doing better. Anything helps!

A Rare Sighting!

The other day, my friend Jessica and I were walking near her house and we saw a real-life unicorn! I just had to take some pictures.












 Thanks so much to Jessica and Brass for modeling (and an extra thank you to Jessica for letting me use her camera) !! All clothes are thrifted, dreadfalls are handmade

Montana Folk Festival 2013

This past weekend marked the annual Montana Folk Festival, a 3 day festival with tons of live performers on 5 stages. I might venture to say that this year has been the best Folk Fest so far! All of the performers were lovely and the weather was perfect, not to mention all of the delicious food vendors! I got to meet some of the bands and performers when I volunteered at artist check-in, and they were all very very nice. Possibly my favorite group of performers was Mythili Prakash, a traditional Bharata Natayam music and dance group. The dancer was so graceful. Every part of her body was perfectly choreographed, down to her hands, eyes, and eyebrows. And her outfit was absolutely stunning!! I don't have pictures, but I have hyperlinked their name above to the website. Among my other favorites were Fendika, Debo Band, and Karan Casey. Check them out!

Due to the current camera situation, I only have a few photos to post, but here they are!
 At the "Original Stage". This headframe was converted into a stage that is now used for the folk fest, along with other summer events.

Jessica, Me, and Maggie enjoying the music!
The Original Stage lit up at night-so pretty!

So all in all, this was a wonderful Folk Fest. I hope it will be just as good next year!

Broken Cameras and (thankfully) Not-Broken Scanner!

So I haven't posted in a few days... heh heh... but I have (kind of) an excuse! As I may have mentioned, my camera broke before we left for Greece and I have been borrowing Maggie's since. But guess what? Maggie's camera just broke too, leaving me unable to take more photos to post! Fortunately Maggie and I were able to get a few photos from the Montana Folk Festival that happened this weekend, amd those will go up tomorrow night!

Anyways, for today I decided to show you some drawings that I have done recently. thank goodness my scanner still works (fingers crossed)!
 A super fancy letter R I copied from a picture I found online

 
I sketched this from a picture in June's issue of Teen Vogue... I tend to draw from pictures a lot. But I guess that's the way you learn!
These are a few doodles I did that became the "Coolest Kids on the Block" photos!

 Kitties!
 A slightly lopsided person wearing Indian wedding jewelry
 Some flowers... Right now I would say my favorite flower is a toss-up between daisies and Queen Anne's lace
I drew these at the Acropolis Museum in Athens. Even with limbs and stuff missing, the statues were incredible! These are of the goddess Nike
I drew this at our villa on Alonnosis. My swimsuit and sarong hanging to dry
And a skull


So hopefully I will have access to a camera soon and more photos will be coming. Folk Fest pictures tomorrow!
