23rd birthday!

My 23rd birthday was on may the ninth of this year, and I had a lovely magical time.

I really like celebrating... holidays and birthdays are things I really look forward to. That is why every year I try to squeeze as much birthday activity as I possibly can.

We had the family party on sunday: Takeout sushi, box of chocolates, silly birthday hat, magical rainbow my little pony cake.

My boyfriend is so sweet and understands how important my birthday is to me. He took me into the city so I could go to all my favorite places, we ate sushi for lunch, and hot pot for dinner. We had bubble tea, went to the comic book shop, got beads at the bead store, cake in chinatown, and he drove the whole time so I didn't have to be stressed in traffic.

 Looking at these pictures again is making me hungry

 

Hot pot with friends! Hotpot is so delicious I can't handle it 

 

Thanks to everyone who celebrated with me or wished me a happy birthday! Lets do it again next year.

Cabin on the Ocean

Summer 2010


I should have done this post back in summertime when it actually occurred, but I was too busy living a vagabond lifestyle.
But I'm sure these pictures can still be enjoyable now.

cottage times, right on the beach!

Squeaky room

Antique store

Sorry buddy :(

seashell shop


beautiful beaches all over the place

Did I mention this was on Cape Cod? Spent a week in a cottage on the beach in a town right next to P-town. I've been going there since I was a little rosy-cheeked young girl.

spring 2010

Spring is here! I base this not on the calender but on the fact that I saw flowers for the first time today. So I decided to go walk in the woods, and I took my camera along with me.

I love the natural patterns on this stump

even the slimy mucky pond is pretty today

trash :(

ahhhh.. this makes me want to go swimming.



I'm glad that it's finally warming up.. this was such a nice day compared to the week of rain that came before it. I hope that it continues to stay nice, I want a long spring!

Its been a while..

I need to post regularly! I actually spent a long time not even using the internet except for email and an occasional search. It had a lot to do with being busy, and having a computer that was so slow from 4 years of junk. But it's been wiped clean, and I am ready for action once again.

So commence with images!

"Hydra" mixed media collage

Contact sheet from class. Digital printed on gloss

Unfinished drawing. mechanical pencil

And a picture of my studio! (a small little table at school.) This shows my paint pallet, and a painting in progress, along with a few other experiments

polymer clay LEDs

I had fun trying to replicate LED lights, and a LED board. It's all made out of different colored polymer clay, with only a few pieces of jewelry wire as the prongs on the individual LED lights. The board is an actual replica of a board I saw online. I have no idea how it actually works, or what it does, since I've only ever soldered a board once in my life (very successfully though)

Winter birds

I hope everyone had a good holiday season, I have been quite busy but managed to find a little time to relax in between. Today especially! I set out a couple of day old biscutts and some sunflower seeds, and Sat quietly by the window with my camera waiting for some hungry birds.







Photographing these birds was difficult, as they quickly flew in, grabbed seeds and then flew back high up in the trees for safe eating. They know we have a cat lurking around somewhere, but I was wise enough to keep the feather -lusty beast inside today.

Hawaii photos, round two

I did a lot of snorkeling on the trip, as Hawaii has some very beautiful clear waters. However the cheap underwater cameras managed to only take cloudy pictures that didn't represent the beauty of the ocean. We stopped at the Maui aquarium where I took some clearer photos.
