:-(

My boyfriend broke my parent's digital camera(which later electrocuted me) so there aren't any pictures today. The beading on the dress only about 2/3 of the way done. It's taking forever to do, because I get really bored and stop. It now fits though, and has an actual waste to it. I tried it on today and realized I really need a necklace, and I have nothing to make it out of. Here is the tux that Brendan is wearing. I still have to get a boutenniere, which I know is spelled wrong. I saw this cool gesso technique on someone's blog today, so I'm going to try it out. Here's the person's blog. I also ordered a copy of the catalogue that they used for the page from here: http://www.anthropologie.com
It's one of those days were I'm being PMS-edly obsessed with chocolate, ice cream, loud music, and mood swings.

I stole this quiz from my mom:


You are a mixed green salad.

You took this quiz by mistake. You don't drink
coffee. You don't even know what it smells
like. You should not be allowed in coffee's
presence, for you would profane its mysteries.
You believe in UFOs and everything that you
hear on TV. You are shifty-eyed and
untrustworthy, and you are plagued by strange
dreams. You want to be on a reality TV show.


What kind of coffee are you?

Prom Dress and Kansas City

I've started the beading on my prom dress. I've got one week to finish. Here's a picture of what I've done so far:


I'm using size eleven sead beads.

Heres a picture of most of the top to give you an idea of how little I truly have done:


Here's the whole dress and me wearing it:


We are going to be doing a few more things to it. We are taking the straps off. It still needs a waistband and needs to be hemmed. It's got that funky gap-under-the-arms thing from the boning, so we are going to Penny's house tonight to fix that. I have also gotten a haircut since that picture was taken. There is really more yellow at the top of the skirt than this picture shows.
It's made with hand dyed silk organza and black silk dupioni.

Here's one of the pictures of the sunset that I took in Kansas City from our hotel room window:

Digital Collage

This is my first digital collage. I'm going to try and use it for my xanga background. I will upload pictures of my newest projects soon.
