Even a monster needs LOVE

Heart Monster Pin!  I wore it today and got many compliments on it. It was a very simple make.  Poly clay shaped in to a heart.  I used a knife to cut out a mouth.  I used a black bead for an eye and broken glass beads for sharp teeth.  The pink texture is made from colored, rubber caulking. Finally, I glued on a pin clasp. It all just came together so quickly that next year I'm going to put some effort in to making some for fam and friends.  He's cute, he's crazy looking and lets others know that love comes in many forms. Happy Valentines day!

Film work.

With some of the free time I've had, I've been working as a film extra.  I've been averaging about one gig per month over the past six months. All my extra work has been done in Atlanta.  I do see celebrities, but that doesn't do much for me. I think I'm too in to myself to have time for a movie star...but a musician, well that's a different story.In this post, I'm including some awesome pictures that my friend was able to snip from the film work I've done.  By awesome, I mean that the pictures are of a  high clarity.

The Following which premiered on the Fox Channel

My claim to fame! I worked 8hrs that day for only 1 second of show.
 

This is from the trailer to Scary Movie 5...yes they have made 5 of these movies! I think it has a theatre date of June. I'm the half face, center, fourth row back.
 

Yeah, so I'm pretty much a movie star.

Reflecting on Reflections

One year ago today, I met the drummer for The Cure that I had had a crush on at the age of 14.  The meeting happened, and for a couple of minutes I was in Heaven.  Great memories I'll keep with me until my end of days.  Thank you JC!

Monday, Monday...

After I sent the Niece her cupcake bra (for her Cabbage Patch), I got a call from her requesting the glittery bottoms.  The bottoms were super easy to make.  I got a pair of denim baby shorts at the thrift store and covered them with blue glitter.  The glue I used (regular Elmer's glue) made the shorts a bit stiff and didn't really hold the glitter well.  I found that a coat of crystal white glitter fabric glue made an excellent sealant without adding additional stiffness.  The completed shorts are being sent off this week just in time for the Niece's 5th Birthday!  

I never overlook an opportunity to be crafty,  so I added a little flair to the inside of her birthday card with a pug cut out.

  

Homie Halloween

During my middle school years, some of my classmates were collecting little, plastic figurines called "Homies".  The figurines were only a couple inches tall, came in both male and female and were dressed in the fashions made popular by movies like Mi Vida Loca.  So here it is, my best attempt at having a Homie Halloween 2012.

Yola The Drummer

One of Adam Ant's drummer (he has two), is a petite blonde named Yola. It's hard to ignore the attractive woman in the baby blue leather cat suit. Anywho...I want to be her when I grow up!

Cupcake Palooza

A couple hours north of Atlanta, there is a town that has a Cabbage Patch Hospital. It's a very cute place.  When our family last visited the CPH, my niece adopted a CP toddler which she named after one of her favorite singers, Katy Perry.  I don't know too many Katy Perry songs, but I did see/hear the song, California Girls. From the California music video, I did take a vivid memory of the cupcake bra worn by the singer. I think you can guess where I'm taking this....I wanted to make my niece's cabbage patch doll, a cupcake bra. The craft turned out to be quick and easy. I crafted the cake part of the cupcake from poly clay and stuck that on to the lid from a Poweraid bottle. I used some food dye to color silicon chalking, pink.  Sprinkled the whole thing with glitter and of course, topped it all off with poly clay cherry! I had some extra cupcakes at the end of the craft so I stuck one on a headband. The finished projects are so realistic looking, I'm going to have to remind my four year old niece, "Do not eat!"

They look yummy but do not eat!
