new piece

i haven't done a finished piece in a while. i'm kind of sad this turned out so well only because i wish it was a hundred times bigger. giant poster size? yes please! i'm all about that. oh well...small pieces are nice too. enjoy!

a visit.

i recently returned to rexburg to celebrate a bfa show, join in art night and indulge in good friendships.
this is my third time visiting since i've become an alum and i must say i don't quite like it. rexburg and the spori just isn't the same anymore once you've shed the title of student.

happy happy easter

i got my egg decorating on. happy easter weekend! stay tuned...more easter fun to come! 

in good celebratory fashion i post these paintings by dear goya. i saw these two paintings in the prado and they’re remarkable! happy birthday francisco jose de goya! how truly romantic you were!

birthday

i baked a lovely cake last night for a friend's birthday. a vegan cake and surprisingly delicious. hazelnut cake covered in chocolaty coconut whipped frosting. nomnoms indeed!

spring

yesterday was the first day of spring. last week's weather was beautiful, but this week it's been quite cold. despite the fact that it could possible snow today, i'm happy that spring is finally official. or maybe that should be depressing. eh, i'm hoping for the best. happy spring all!

recycling bottles

my husband and his brothers are big coke drinkers. and not just any coke, the cokes that come in the glass bottles because they have real sugar. since chirstmas i've been collecting all their glass coke bottles and more, hoping that i'd find a way to reuse them. three months later i finally found some use for them. check it...

 supplies: glass bottles, spray paint primer, spray paint (black gloss), gold leaf, and krylon crystal clear

i'm so excited to decorate my little apartment with these. i might hit up ace hardware for different color spray paint. mint, pink, or white? yea please!
