Comeback PT 1

So, lately the world has drained me dry of all my creativity, stamina (if I had any before), and tolerance. I even went so far as to take a mental health day today. One of the things I wanted to do was bring this baby back to life. I don't know how I let my writing and my love for writing slip so far down the hill. However, I do have a bunch of collages stacked up in powerpoint that you may be seeing soon as well as some of my newest creations.

Now, to Prom as I am sure some of you know about. Lemme just say that this class below mine that hosted this dance, well, richer doesn't make you better. The DJ sucked epically, the organization was a bit...odd, and it was just boring all around. Except for the food. The salads and the pasta (which I had) were I think restaurant quality. Which was nice. I also loved wearing my dress again as well as my mother's (My Bead Journey) Bracelet she made for me and another Bracelet made by Lori of Out of the Flames! Can I just say; SPARKLE!

This was some of what I took with me to prom!

On another note, On Easter I received a craft storage box from my parents that is total win and also very inspiring. It looks chunky and like it wouldn't hold everything. However, it does! <3

It has one box in which I have put my stash of findings and beads that I have collected as well as bead bits that I have made. I even put a couple boxes in the biggest row to add some flare as well as organization. The second box holds my stash of polymer clay and the third holds ALL of my tools. This thing is amazing. Sometimes I open it all up now just to look at what I have. LOL Oh and there is a compartment at the top of the box. It is so big it can hold my bead rack, travel cases, and my stash of boxes. However, it is now holding what I have collected so far for my dorm room which I will tell you about soon.

For now, I bid you all Ado! Sorry for my absence YET again. XD

Gotta Love Gloomy Bear

Come on, you know you love that little homicidal bear! I do! Though he is often covered with blood he is still all kinds of adorable. That is why I couldn't help but try my hand at polymer clay Gloomy Bears when I saw some on Etsy.

Here are some pictures of Gloomy from Google.

And here are what my polymer Gloomy Bears look like. They are quite crude for Gloomy, but I think they are adorable nonetheless. LOVE THEM! >:D

It would be so awesome if I could do chainmail with these hanging off of it. Well, that's all I have about Gloomy (........................................today). For now, Ado!

P.S. Remember that online community I was in? Well, I'm back INNNN!!! I am very happy! <3

Dream Lolita Outfit............s...

So La Vida Frills has this contest, I was not sure if I should enter or not because I am only an upcoming Loli, but I sat down at my computer and came up with two outfits that would fit me and I would SOSOSOSOSO wear! Though, lacking in any sort of Lolita clothes and accessories, makes it hard for me not to get attached to the idea of actually owning one of these outfits. But anyway, I want to display them on here before I enter the contest (which will be like three minutes from now.)

Well, through a couple months of research, I have learned that if I do become a half or full Lolita, I would defiantly turn to Sweet and Punk Lolita. At first, I was going to go for a Gothic/Sweet style, but it always seems to come out more Sweet than Gothic. I have found myself in love with that style for its way of emulating who I am and what I love. Here is the dream outfit for Sweet Lolita!

This outfit basically brings my favorite little things from when I was young. I loved Disney movies when I was a kid and still love them to this day. I also find plush totally squee worthy! I love festivals and malls, especially those ones that still have to GOREGIOUS carousels, hence the headpiece. Clovers too are a symbol of another thing I love, the United Kingdoms and Ireland! I would love to go there one day!

The second outfit is a Sweet/Punk Lolita mix. This is a more modern version of me in an outfit. I love media (be it movies, food, brands, art, music, festivals, and so on)! I love it as a hobby and an obsession nowadays. I also have rediscovered my love for Wonka Brand Candies and discovered a love for Hello Kitty. I also have found a soft spot for monsters of all levels of cuteness, found two sushi types that I want to try, as well as rekindling my love for the Renaissance, hence the puffy collared shirt.

Quickly~!

Sorry I don't have a lot of time to post today. I am going to be at work and then taking an escape in my room with Disney movies, my shopping goodies, and my kitty-boo. But I wanted to show off my plates!

But first, the plates and the start of my ikibana vase! My plates came out if the kiln as I was starting my ikibana. I don't like my ikibana much but t is only the beginning of it. My design was to make a vase that made it's plants flail out and even show the water in the pool. So it can be decorated. I also added a spout that should have ended up looking like a dragon or a wolf, but it ended up looking like both! I introduce to you DUMPLING WOLF! xD

Annnnnd now my plates! These will be going to show hopefully and have taken up a home in my schools showcase for the time being. Unfortunately for me.

I also found out that I am one of the winners in a contest held by the wonderful Juls from Julsbeads! I bought a focal bead that is so cute and is based on an Indian Blanket. I used to have three indian blankets growing up and would love to have another again. Their not the softest things ever but they sure are COZZZY! I shall show off a picture of it once I get it. Thank you so much Juls-luff!

Well, that's all I have for today. For now, ado!

Fun Clay

Oh my gods someone get me some IRISH CREAM! @_@ I woke up this morning feeling very ill, but I still went to school. Thank gods that the school has coffee and Irish Cream Creamer. Though, I would love to have had the mix that one of my guy friends came up with which was Coffee, a tiny bit of Baily's, French Vanilla Creamer, and Sugar. Yummy! I only had a itty bitty sip so I was a good girl. xD

Anywho, I have been working on a lot of clay stuff in school. We are working on a Japanese related dinner set basically. We are to make a set of small sushi plates, some tea ceremony tea bowls, and an ikibanna vase. I have my plates and bowls made and they are ready to be glazed!

This is the white clay I used to create one of my four plates. Yes that is my chubby tiny hand.

 This is what it looks like after it is fired! Pretty yes?

 This is Mocha Clay, which I love. Such a pretty caramel color when it is fired. I ought to get a picture of that when I get the chance. But this is the general shape of the tea bowls...

These just got fired today, so I will get a picture of them before I put the glazes on. They are so fun to hold. They are like little hard pillows for teh hands, yes!

Well, that is all I have for you today, sorry that it is not much but still. Until next time, ado.

A Little Bit

Welcome to my second ever Blog! My first one failed badly, due to me putting a subject on it. Soooooooo...this one obviously will not have an objective! Yayright?! I hope you like what you see!

So a little bit about me, My name is Shelby Nicolae Demona and yes that is my name. My favorite alternate names are "Shelbs," "Shelbymonster," and "Shelbyvonne." (I may, or may not, have made those up for fun hinthint) I don't mind nor care if you just call me Shelby or one of those. I am a seventeen-year-old-crazy who dwells in one of the most amazzzzzzzing states in the Americas, New York. I love the New England states and that is pretty much it. I care not for the government and know very little about it, instead I care for adventure. I would love to travel in the New England states, Britain, Scotland, Ireland, Holland, Romania, New Zealand, and Japan. I am also an artist of many talents! What do I do? I make Chainmaille, like the medieval armor yes, jewelry, ceramics, and other misc craft projects as well as sketches (mostly werewolves until I perfect humans), and write fan fictions, poems, and random writing pieces. Yes, I make a lot of art! Art is a way of life! It is addicting like the drugs other people my age spend their time doing, but much more healthy. All in all, I am an over decorated and hoodie kinda lass who loves making and collecting art, cute yet bizarre things, adventure, writing, and jewelry.

Well, that is enough about me, I am going to go eat a bagel now and get back to this later! I hope to see something come of blogging in round two! DINGDINGDING!
