ZOMFG ALIENS!!!!! O[]O

Okay, i have decided that i'm going to cut everyone some slack and not write so much :):)
So, it's prolly going to be hard for me :):) lol. but, here's a project post. 
it's very wonky and flimsy.
It's a girl if you can't tell. It looks like E.T. prolly like the girl version xDxD
I can make her do almost everything OoO
Here's a little story i wrote staring... TEH E.T. GIRL :):)
She's got super powers :):)

The power of invisibility OoO
*peekaboo*
She is also very flexible OoO
(much more flexible than me)

Okay, it wasn't much of a story, but. it was fun :):)
WASN'T IT? O[]O

P.S. This isn't the project to celebrate my awesomeness

Joey says mooo~!


Lol. [why do i always start with lol?] Yes. Joey. this is pretty much a dedication to you :):) i have no idea how cows are relevant to you, but anyhowws like i promised [not really, but] i made a cow :):) [and i proved my mom wrong. even though she didn't accept it.] so on the left is the cow made with regular white thread, and the one on the right is made with fishing wire. it turned out to be a very mad cow.
speaking of which, i did a science project about mad cow disease. it was rather very enjoyable [which is very weird.] i used a really resourceful resource: A BOOK. [wow.] no kidding. it was very good. i actually understood it. then again, i think i really enjoyed mad cow disease which made everything much easily to absorb.
It's called Mad Cow Disease[very creative, yes] by Barbara Sheen[i think]. There's a lot of good information. yes.
anyways. back onto what i started on. lol. This baby is pretty big compared to my other ones. it's flat also. took me approximately a day to complete the whole thing. because of the many rows, it was very floppy, loose and the whole thing just didn't look right held up. So, i had to thread the rows together. There're many knots so it doesn't look as good as the pattern as it wasn't made from that fancy japanese beading wire. *cries* hopefully, i can lay my hands on some very soon. :):)
so, lessons learnt from this project: if making a beaded piece with many rows of beads, use the fancy japanese wire, or keep the rows with the same number of beads. [notice how gold row the right side of my cow sticks out by one bead.] okay, one bead, may not be much, but one little bit adds up to a lot. ooh~! and the lines that goes down, is very noticeable. visibly crooked which isn't a pretty sight.
anyways. i think i should restrict my projects to weekends. i really have a lot of work to do. grr. it's very annoying. i'm really blocked on my work. grr. anyways. i don't think you'll see much of my projects for the week :):)
<3 ya all :):)

Project Completion!! Cupcakee:):)


I actually finished this project last night, but i felt tired so i didn't put it up :):) It was pretty simple, but there were many tries to get it just right:) Anyways the gold bead is meant to be a cherry, but i didn't have a red bead that fitted just right so i used a gold one:)
The bottom bit was easy, and then the white cake bit started getting harder. I took a few tries for colours and sizes. I tried making it all to the top, but it didn't really work so i just ended up putting a cherry bead instead :] My thread ran out :( so i had to tie a knot and start again from where i left off. In this baby, there's at least 3 knots, two are very very visible, the last and final knot is actually invisible o_o
It's pretty fragile, but then again, everything i make seems to be very fragile because it's so precious to me:)i was very happy when i finished it lol. it's very small.
Problems: The bottom:
[Check out my pedo cat:):)]
anyways, the shape of bottom of the cupcake is easily changed -> therefore it is very fragile. which is sad. the threads show at the top, but apart from that i think i'm pretty happy with it :):)
Next time, i'm going to use fishing wire instead [to prove my mom wrong-> she keeps on saying that if i made it with fishing wire, it would be better]
and i'm going to try and make the pattern 2 times as large because it's tiny atm
Like i said before, i am very happy with my cupcake, beading is very much more enjoyable than cross-stitching as it doesn't take as long. Except the result you get from cross-stitching is much more promisingly pretty :):)
