It's Banana Time

     Well, I don't know about you, but I love bananas. And by that I only mean the amazingly delicious fruit that is extremely healthy for you. When your hungry in the morning, but not enough for a real breakfast, you just eat a banana. It fills you up(: Perfect addition to smoothie, in some its nessicary. I love the consistency and everything about them. So, in that sense I decided to make banana earrings! They did sell at my art show, but I decided to post them anyway(:

  This picture was taken before they were made into earrings, I just think this picture is sorta epicish. (:

Catch a Falling Star.

  I'm going to start this post off by saying that I have an obsession. It is Hayao Miyazaki movies such as Castle in the Sky, Princess Monoke, Spirited Away, Kiki's Delivery Service, Nausica: Valley of the Wind and my current favorite, Howl's Moving Castle. I always said that Castle in the Sky was my favorite, and I will forever love it entirely, but watching Howl's Moving Castle again makes me realize the beauty it holds. I always loved the movie since the first time I watched it. I used to dream about Howl's secret study with all the beautiful flowers. It was a whole Avatar (blue people) experience. After I fell in love with the movie I read the book. It has been my favorite book since I read it in about 7th grade. As some of you may know, I go to Prendie which was on strike for the first two weeks of school. During that time I kept myself busy with my clay creations. But you want to know what movie I watched three times in the same week? Howl's Moving Castle. It was perfect inspiration for painting and inspired me to make this next set of earrings. If you have never watched or read Howl's Moving Castle, you should skip over this nect paragraph until you watch or read it.
  So, a big element of the story is when the main character Howl caught a faling star as a child. This star was later known as Calcifer. Much more things goes into why Calcifer is what he is, and you will only really know it all if you read the amazing book, so I would recommend you to. But also watch the movie, for it is beautiful. So, here is my Howl's Moving Castle inspired earrings. Enjoy(:

Nothing too spectacular, just a yellow star. But I think it's simple & I absolutely love it.

When I get bored I paint my desk, I think it added pizazz to the earring (:

(Did I spell pizazz right? ahaha)

I can see clearly now the Rain is gone.

   We have had such a rainy summer, I feel like I'm in England, just it's hotter. Geeee. We've gone from just random rainfall that decides to ruin every activity and everyone's hair to a hurricane. Fun times right? Just when you thought the hurricane was all the rain we would get and it would have to get sunny, it decided to smight you and keep raining. That's great. The title may say the rain has gone, but I know it hasn't. It's supposed to rain on picture day, my straightened hair will enjoy that...& because of the rain it only seemed right that my next set of earrings is a rain cloud, with raindrops. I tried some new techiques with the jewerly making part of it. (How I added the raindrops.) I'm working on way to make them a little nicer, but I think they turned out really well the way they are! Enjoy(:

I tried to find a clever way to prop them up, I was going to

crop out the wite out and tape, but that's too much work...

But, I think the raindrop look pretty good. I used clear wire to

connect it so it would seem it wasn't. I hope you like it! Thank You (:

Frylock and I'm on top.

 Considering this next set of earrings, I had to make my title lyrics from the theme song of Aqua Teen Hunger Force. It is a show on Adult Swim that I watched a few years ago. It's so funny, if you do decide to watch it, watch the first season, it's much better than the new episodes. If you have already watched it, then you understand just how funny it is. So, these next set of earrings are French Fries. I definitely love french fries. Sad part is that I get sick if I eat to many, like at McDonalds. I usually order a small, my stomach doesn't hurt as much after that. Either way, I figured they would be a great idea for earrings! Not too much inspiration for this than the fact that it just came to my mind. But I think they turned out pretty well. Enjoy! (:

 An angle from the bottom! (:

 Here you can see the fries pretty well.

Tried to pin them on something to show you how it will look. (:

Optical Illusion! -I think?

    So, this net set of earrings aren't really anything in particular. I believe I started with a sort of wing effect, but because I did not add a bigger curve to it, it doesn't look exactly like wings. Either way, I still like them. They have a few different things you can see in them, it's like an optical illusion! If you look closely you might see the head of an eagle, without the eyes of course. Depending on the direction you wear them, they can look like blue clay feathers, that don't quite look like feathers, but have that effect. Tell me if you see anymore optical illusions! (:
      Blue is a favorite color of mine, so I am excited to see that they turned out nicely. I believe these earrings are one of those pieces of jewelry that look better on you, than on a table. At least that is my belief, I hope you think so too! Enjoy(:

I did a bit of shading with it darker in the center and lighter as you go out. 

I hope you like the effect, I think it turned out nicely. (:

Get Ready to "Hit" the Books!

  So, that title was really lame, but I feel like it fit. I want to start this post off by saying I am a nerd, in many senses of the word, but one that may or may not seem very prominent is my Library Nerdiness. Many time I have spent my friday nights at a library. And I am not embarrassed by that, for it's not that I sat there and read with my imaginary friends because I have no real ones, I was usually with my friends. My fellow library nerds, and many of them are my best friends. We don't just chill at the Library and read either, we go to programs that vary from 90s nights, Murder Mystery Program, Ninja Night, Pirate Night, and the upcoming program that we are really hype for, The Hunger Games lock in. Though I don't think it's on a Friday, it is during our winter break. So because of that nerdiness of mine, I had to make these earrings.
   The title sort of represents the fact that tomorrow is my 2nd day of school, considering my first day was about 2 weeks ago. We had to wait through a teachers strike, but now it is over. So now we have to "hit the books". It's kind of a pun I guess? Either way, i hope you enjoy these earrings (: There is another set I am in the midst of making, they are almost finished, and will hopefully be posted later this week. But for now, Enjoy! (:

I think flowers are pretty.

   I walk a lot. I walk home from school, I walk to work, and I just walk whenever it's nice out. Walking is a great exercise but can get very boring, especially when you walk by yourself. So, I always try to find something that will make my walk a little less boring and more enjoyable. Fall is when you step on every leave on the ground or wait for the wind to start blowing the leaves is a circle so you feel like your Pocahontas. Winter is when you draw pictures in the snow. But spring is my favorite. Because most houses have flowers, all over their lawns, and sometimes the flowers are available to you right next to the sidewalk. Now, sometimes I like to pick flowers, but mostly I don't. But I love to admire them, smell them, and just realize their beauty. A lot of the things I make involve flowers, they are just fun, simple, and pretty. So here is a pair of earrings that my mom loves. It's sorta like the typical flower earrings you see, but just clay and a different color than I usually see. Enjoy (:

 Here you can see them from the side. (:

Here you can see them from the front, and see the little details. Enjoy(:
