Being An Artist 101

  So.

  This may be a bit crazy.

  MUWHAHAHHA!
 
  We shall begin.

  *cracks knuckles*
 
  Alrighty.

  Being an artist takes work.  It's not easy. You just don't take up a pencil, slap some paint on a page, and BOOM!
Art.
 It's sometimes a painful process. BUUUTTT ...

 
ART MUST HAPPEN.

 
 
Yeah, yeah, I mean the whole staying up till 3 A.M. to finish painting that piece of art that could rival the great Leonardo de Vinci himself, people!!

  But then you wake up like this ...

 
AAAAAAAAAand if you have the tendency to use coffee as false courage to face the world ...
 
 
Thusly, after the caffeine takes hold ...
 
ART!
 
So, you sit. And sit. And sit.
 
Back cramps, anyone?!?!?!
 
Ok anyways.
 
So after sitting, and sitting, and sitting, and sitting, you get up for a snack all like ...
 
 
Kidding.
 
(let's face it, if most of us tried that, we'd all be in the emergency room ...)
 
Wait, where was I going with this one?
 
Oh, snacks.
 
 
STRESS EATING!
 
And did I mention coffee??!?!?
 
 
 I did ...
 
Eh, we need another one by now.
 
So, after walking around the kitchen and eating hordes of food ...
BACK TO THE ART!
 
 
Ok.
 
Let's talk about ...
 
 
THIS.
 
Yes, your eraser (like rubbed off yesterday) just put a nice, fabulous black streak
across the paper.
 
And do people even know how unsafe it is to try and talk you when you're
"in the mode"?
 
 
Then you ...
 
 
Follow me?
 
 
 
Last but not least (yeah here it comes) ...
 
*drum roll*
 
When someone looks at your art.
 
*horrified screams in background*
 
Ok. So we all take a sense of pride in all we do, yes? Hmm. It's not that we don't
want people to see our work ... it's just ... we don't? Is it a protective thing? What?
 
But either people do this with your art ...
 
"Oh .. you draw."
 
Or this ...
 
"I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT!!!!"
 
!!!!!!!!!AND THEN THEY THUMB THE PAGE!!!!!!!!!!
 
And you sit in silence looking something like a baby hawk waiting
 for it's mommy to come back with breakfast ...
 
 
(see what I did there? no? ok ...)
 
LIKE. SERIOUSLY. THOUGH.
 
 
And then the famed ...
 
"Why don't you draw me?"
 

 
IT DOES'NT WORK LIKE THAT.
 
*breathes*
 
So, after a long day (and possibly half a night) you fall into your fluffy pillows, like the
near-dead artist you are.
 

 
 And that, my friends, is being an artist as told by moi.

Birthday loveliness


 So, my birthday was this month ... :}

*clears throat

"A VERY MERRY UNBIRTHDAY TO MEEEE ...!"


OK. I'm sorry. :}

Alrighty, sooo ... my dearest friend Hannah (at Hannah's Haberdashery) pulled together a crazy party for me, my sister (who has a birthday in this month as well ... hehe!), and another friend. :D They both are just the best, kindest things on this planet. So very blessed to have them!





*high-pitched squeal*

JUST LOOK AT ALL THE DARLING PERFECTION?!?!?! I could hardly pull it out of it's bag when she gave it to me, honestly!!! He has the most soft, fluffy hair ... it's loveliness!!

 *completely goes into giggle fit*

And, prepare, my friend (she knows who she is). :} I'll convert you.

If you want to see more of Hannah's amazingness, go here.



This was me when I got home with it:

 
(honest... O.o)
 
.
.
.




 And for those who don't know ... yes. I am an absolute fan of Disney's "Beauty and the Beast".
So when my friend handed me this I was completely ecstatic.

I've seen soo many crayon melts but I have never tried it. LOVE it so much! Thank you, Elizabeth. It went straight on my wall, by the way. :D

Blessings!

The Abilaine being ... The Abilaine





 

Me working away on whatever ... I do actually tend to sit on my bed quite a bit, creating beauty. :D


Half the time, this is me ...







I'm a drama queen, people.

*cheesy grin*

What can I say??


HUGS!
