Tokidoki Limited edition.

I'm probably a little late blogging about this I found this website a while ago and fell in love with almost everything on it! Especially the Limited edition tokidoki Item's, if someone fancies buying me any of the items on here I'd marry you in a heartbeat. no seriously. 

This has to be my favourite piece! Not only for my love of cherries but this would look adorable anywhere! I'd kill to have this is in my living room, with a few Tokidoki plushes sat on it! This is currently not on the website for sale.

This is amazing, not only does it incorporate most tokidoki original characters but the tattooed female which Tokidoki represents (hence the tokidoki Barbie). Also I have to say the fact Latte is a fair size on this chair makes it even better for myself, It also has the cactus pals, Adio's and ciao ciao, Dounutella, unicorno's, Royal pride, skulls, diamonds, swallows and vampire lips.

Now if you don't have £1,595 to spend (which let's face it most of us don't) there is an alternative item's a lot cheaper but still as adorable, they tend to sell out pretty fast and because there Limited edition there's no saying how many will be made. 

The 'Tokidoki pillow' incorporates every tokidoki character like the chair above minus the tattooed beauty, so from the Moofia to the cactus pals everyone's favourite is one here!








The 'Tokidoki Singapore pillow', Has everything the chair has, different pattern of the characters with the tattooed beauty. I love the way Tokidoki portrays woman, so much so one day I will have one tattooed myself!



Tokidoki tea time! From what I can see this is the item that sells out most frequently, it's currently sold out and I know why it's to adorable to say no too! covered in Tokidoki favourites it's a must have for any collector!

http://www.clickforart.com 

search Tokidoki, although I'd happily buy almost one of every collection they have on here! 

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

Wreck this Journal #3

so seems as my previous wreck this journal entries have gotten a response I wasn't expecting, Here's the third part of my wreck this journal Journey. I have to admit some of the posts In this blog are a little disappointing to the perfectionist inside of me but the whole point of 'wreck this journal' is to test yourself as well as the book and see how far your creativity will take you. so here we go: 

Pages 158 & 159 - Glue a page from a magazine, circle words you like.


so I demolished my Company magazines and ended up with this; So clearly the page has the Beautiful Lily Allen and Rihanna but the main focus was the Zooey deschanel Interview from company <3

'Make Tea not war'

Pages 24 & 25 -

Scribble wildly, violently with reckless abandon. 

Says what it is on the tin, scribble.. scribble. 

Pages 4 & 5 - stand here, wipe your feet. 

Yeah I actually hate feet and I hate this page! but yeah, wiped my Vans on here before i ended up with this can obviously see the damage they created? no. 

Page 29 -Glue, staple, or tape these pages together. 

Pointless placing of this page next to the tear strips, rip it up page really isn't it? 

Page 27 Tear strips, rip it up. 

Page before the last entry see the problem now? completed this at stupid o'clock in the morning hence the little imagination. Might redo this page eventually! 

so yeah part three and hopefully the worst entry of this series! Really need to get my creative flow going again to make the journal the best it can be... before I destroy it by taking it in the shower. (maybe). there should be an update within the few days along with a small update on 'this is not a book' because I can't even explain how disappointed I was with it! but I will complete it, just not document it like this! 

Wreck this journal #2

so here's part 2 of my 'wreck this journal - Keri Smith' Journey! starting to get a little more daring as I go along in this book, even if I did freak out after spilling tea on it. As I stated before it defiantly is testing my perfectionism ways to the full, but it's the perfect remedy for being bored! I ordered 'This is not a book - Keri Smith' last night so I can't wait till that arrives! just giving me that extra boost to get my journal finished!

Page 33 - Fill this page with circles.

pictures self explanatory, I've had a drawing to bubbles since I was little so incorporated them into this! with a bubble blower at the bottom. All the seemly shaded parts are miniature circles too! 

Page 37 - Chew on this *warning do not swallow* 

yeah didn't fancy chewing on the page... 

so cut out a kinda bite mark out of it. 

so took the meaning and changed it... 

Page 11 - Draw fat lines and thin 

you can probably see the lines underneath, started it then changed my mind then ended up with this! Actually pretty pleased with how it turned out even if it did take over an hour to complete! 

Page 151 - space for negative comments 

(*what is your inner critic saying*)

actually scared me how easy I completed this. and how I'm struggling with 'page of good thoughts' i pray that I escape this rut soon! 

Page 148 & 149 - create a non stop line. 

yeah this page actually took the piss!

Not completely happy with how it turned out but what can you do! Maybe should have done it in black and white. 

Page 7 - pour, spill, drip, spit, fling your coffee here. 

so yeah I'm not a coffee drinker so I used tea which doesn't stain as much as coffee but it was enough to make me freak out, looked perfectly normal of me hair drying a book.........

And lastly the back page of my journal! 

added a photo of Audrey Kitching I had laying around and obviously a Hello Kitty too, would be wrong if either of these weren't incorporated into my journal somewhere. I also used a piece of Disney pink ribbon to use as a bookmark on the page I'm working on! 

so yeah, that's what's completed so far I've got 4 pages in progress! and now I'm actually prepared to 'Wreck this Journal' I'm sure there will be another update really soon! Not allowing myself to start 'this is not a book' until 90% of the journal is completed.
