New Ink!





















My new tattoo, and honestly I couldn't be more in love with it! Only half finished as it will eventually be a half sleeve, the roses represent the people who have past my gran and grandfather for example. The bugs represent life and I might just get clouds around it so it would be a garden in Heaven. I got it done at the same tattooist I got my mermaid inked at and to be honest I don't think I'd get tattooed by anyone else!

My tokidoki collection!







Now if you know me personally, you'd know I have a soft spot for anything remotely cute or hello kitty. Out of this strange obsession and yes it is strange when your best friends have to answer the question 'why are you in the kids section looking for a birthday card if she's 19' my love of vinyl toys appeared, specifically tokidoki!






I'm in love with Simone lengos work and 90% of my collection as you'll see in this post is tokidoki! Amongst these I do have a gloomy bear kid robot figure which started my collection, I found it in the window of a charity shop and made my mum que outside for it the next day and at £1 it's the best buy I've ever had! and some skellanimals along with a little mermaid Barbie!





At the moment my collection is mainly based around Unicorno's and Cactus pals! As you have to buy unicorno's blind boxed I have a double of ritmo and bellina as well as dolce, mooka and pepperino I have singly! just 5 more to go till my collections complete, although something tells me i'll never complete my collection without spending too much on opened blind boxes on-line!





So this is how my shelf stands at the moment! I'm putting up another 2 just to compensate on room because I actually have nowhere else to store any more!

No matter how old I get I know there's one thing that will never change.. I will forever continue to collect vinyl figures, it captures my childhood in a heartbeat and I'll forever hold on to that.

Wreck this Journal #4

First blog of my 19th year on the planet,
 I now have a better camera so quality on image's as of this blog will be  a lot higher! 

I haven't really had much time to do anything in my journal once again but I am getting the paint out this week and completing the pages that allows you to get messy, Actually excited to do the finger painting page if I'm honest!  Anyway here's my Wreck this Journal update ; 


Page 19 - press leaves and other found things.


this actually occured by accident I decided to make a circle of leaves, and it reminded me of jesus (sorry all you christians and catholics out there).


This is my Favourite page so far :
           Don't want to give it away tho D:





Page 43 - make a paper aeroplane.


Yeah that's an aeroplane stuck to paper...
I was actually devastated that I couldn't remember how to make one and failed miserably but after a master class off a close friend over skype pretty sure I'm good on the whole making a paper aeroplane again now!





page 90 & 91 - Trace the things in your bag (or pockets) let the lines overlap


Badly drawn Hello kitty overload with a sprinkle of tokidoki and a rubbish phone. This would be what I carry on me 90% of time, No idea why I had hello kitty mints in my bag at this particular time as I'm allergic to them ....





Page 82 - let a child loose on this page!


one of the pages I've added myself, so there aren't any blank pages in my Journal, I let my 6 year old twin sisters loose on this! so pleased they actually listened and didn't go crazy!






The Next instalment will probably be based on the pages that include paint and ink etc although many of the pages I started a while ago that ask you to collect or find stuff are coming along pretty quick now! I can't believe I've almost completed it! there are a few pages I'm terrified of doing so as the book says : 'instructions are open to interpretation' I'm trying to find a way around them!

Welcome April, Have a totoro.



Hello Birthday week! and I'll finally have a decent camera as of Thursday so I'll be able to update more frequently and with a higher standard of photo's. Getting Inked on Thursday too actually cannot wait! It just so happens to be my 19th too, all I'm really looking forward to is CAKE!  for my size you have no idea how much I can pack away........

Just wanted to update quickly because it has been a while and I probably won't get much of a chance till later this week, but after then I will be setting myself 2 nights a week to blog.... about what I have no idea! 

so I leave you with the totoro I made earlier from: www.cubecraft.com
