If you're a regular, you may notice something

As you may notice, I've made some changes to the blog template. If this was a proper blog with some meaning to it I wouldv'e made some other changes to but for now, as I am in the middle of high school and still figuring out what I want to do with my life, this is all that's changing. Tell me if you like it or if you don't. There is a poll to your right ----->
Or you can comment

Also I've been becoming more and more interested in studying other blogs and how I can improve mine. But now I must sleep so I will tell you tomorrow...

Fox drawings

Browsing the web the other day and came across some cool fox studies and how to draws, as well as logo-like designs

It kind of looks like a kangaroo to me ;D

I found these 'how to draw's a while ago but I thought I should share them because there's nothing nicer than being able to confidently draw an awesome fox. A feeling which I do not yet know...

My Fashion Designs

If you don't have My Style Studio by Klutz then I definitely recommend you get it!

It is the easiest tool for drawing your own fashion designs as you will ever come to. You just stick the ready made designs onto the model template. Then put on a sheet of already cut tracing paper and trace your design. It's so simple and so easy to use.

 At first I started by copying the designs that they had created because I was new at it and didn't know what else to do. After a while I began to put together my own outfits and gain confidence as well as practice in my drawings. Copying the drawings became easier too and my hand became steadier.

I have now started steering away from the patterns and started to hand draw my own unique designs (shown above).

I will show you the designs I have already done. So far I have done 46 designs. I figure that's too many to show in one post. So I've decided to show you two every....day? week? I don't know, I'll see how I go. I really want to just show them all to you now but I don't want to run out of fashions to show you too quickly. Of course I'll keep making them and posting them but I think it would be a nice weekly task to take on.

A blue circle means the drawing is partially original. This means I've copied some of it or most of it from the book but added my own touch somewhere (e.g. different shoes).

A yellow star means the drawing has been completely copied and no part of it was of my own creative initiative.

A red heart means it's one of my favourites. I have a lot of favourites which I have not put a red heart because I've either forgotten about it or if I'm not sure if it deserves to be in the top favourites.

So here are 3 today:

I will show you 2 more next weekend. I will call this ongoing series "Fashion Fun".

Also I ordered an extras kit from the Klutz website. Unfortunately it has to be shipped from America and the shipping costs almost as much as the product itself so that is very unfortunate but it didn't stop me from buying it ;D

While pinning on the very useful Pinterest I found this blog which even though I haven't found many pins I find particularly inspiring, I find the blog itself a little inspiring and also that it's is run by a young student (like myself I suppose - except she is a much better blogger) which you don't see many of these days I'm afraid. They seem to all be run by young women or mothers :) Which is fine of course.

Oh so here's the blog: http://yourstrulyg.com/

Galaxy nails

Hi there, gee it's been so long. Every time I try to get on to my blog I just can't be bothered so I'll start with this:

 So I really wanted to try galaxy nails so I went out and got some white nail polish, glitter nail polish and some sponges.
There are lots of tutorials for this and here are some links to tutorials and also some pictures of galaxy nails other people have done:

• http://www.nail-art-101.com/galaxy_nails.html
• http://www.blogenbeaute.com/nail-art/galaxy-nails-2-kiko-dark-heroine-fall-2013

So this is amazing of course and looks nothing like mine ;) - I do not own this image

And then here are mine:

Here are some of the cool nail polishes I saw at Target:

 

 So anyway that was the Thursday before the holidays.

On Friday of the first week of the holidays I went to Luna Park :)

Then on the following Sunday we (My grandma, grandpa, my brother and myself) went up to the Snowy Mountains and stayed at a ski lodge in Perisher :)

 And then last Sunday I had my birthday party because this Friday I turn 15 :D

And I got nail polish as one of my presents

My nails...

Well today was Tuesday and it is the last week of term so we got to do our summer sports today, which for me was ice-skating. The good thing is I can go straight home from Macquarie Centre. Which means I caught the bus at 2:16pm and got home at 2:42pm which is great because I usually have to catch two buses in the afternoon and don't get home until about 4.


Also I painted my nails yesterday. As you know I've become obsessed with looking up different ways to do nails so I just was in the mood to do my own :) I want to buy more nail polish but my birthday is coming up next month so I don't want to buy anything beforehand. I don't know if I can wait though. But I also want to save up my money for other things so I don't know what to do...

Also I'd just like to say that Miley Cyrus was a childhood singer/moviestar not so much idol but my cousin and I used to listen to her music but now she's pretty much a slut. Her music videos are basically pawn now. I'm sorry this paragraph is recommended for mature audiences but I had to get it off my chest. And her music is also no longer good. I mean, I didn't mind when she turned from Hannah Montana to Can't be Tamed in fact I even when to her concert but this is just ridiculous I don't what's going on and I'm not forcing her to change I'm just saying that it's past the point of recovery.
