Dreamcatcher Day 1

hey again :)



anyhoo, my friend Xin suggested i take Day pics of how my embroidering is going for my textiles assignment and i thought, why the heck not, this would be fun.


So for all youse who don't do textiles, our assigment is pretty much to make a cushion but embroider a picture onto it.


My idea is a dreamcatcher with a real hypster kind of feel- with all the feathers and chains- and I have been spending loads of my time thinking about it and making it perfect because I desperately want to enter it into the easter show. Really really do.


Okay so we have to add in 3 different elements onto our cushion, and I'm doing more than that. Other than embroidery, i have stencil painting, light wash, and I will be adding on feathers and buttons.



ok so here's how it looks now. For now, I've already done my light wash (the yellow background), the stencil painting and I started the embroidery. I wanted the background to be more lighter - though you can't see how dark it is by the photo- but, other than that, everything is a okay :)





For stencil painting, I used silver fabric ink for the base and lightly mixed it with blue and paint fabric ink to create a galactical print. I think it looks wonderful :)


For the middle, I will put a button onto it, which has a pearlie texture to it, to represent a hippie kinda feel. the middle stitches are couching stitches and the circle is made by blanket stitching I'm not sure what to do now though...because I haven't chose the colours to make the other stitches yet, and I don't want to ruin the whole embroidery because of my sucky taste in colour. So, any suggestions. Thanks smanks.


i. am. done. :)

MY JAM 1.

I'm going to start a jam segment. YEEEHAAARRRR.

okay, so I've been adding HEEEAAAPS if new songs onto my ipod. And i have to tell you something, if you haven't heard about August Rigo yet, you have not lived. He's a producer, composer and artist and, for all those JB fans out there, he co-wrote U SMILE.

okay, if you're a rnb lover, he's the best one out there. Here's what I mean by awesome.



Kill Me- August Rigo.

I have been jamming to this song all week, and it's my favourite song out of his mixtape, Too Big To Fall. Here's another one for y'all.



All The Way- August Rigo

AND THEN THERE'S JACKIE BOYZ. ohmygodohmygod their new song came out!



It's only a snippet though..but ohmyfck it's so good, I LOVE JACKIE BOYZ.

and, on another note, i was looking through fb and my friend Jessie recommended this.



Pierce the Veil- Just The Way You Are. Pretty hype right?

Kpop wise, I have been off mainstream and right back at hiphop. Tablo, my bias, is having his comeback so I have been listening to him the most. I think I'm just intrigued by his music and his lyrics and that puts him as to why he is one of my faves. I mean, he doesn't need the face or the popularity- even though he has it all- he's just really talented. His songs Bad and Try are the ones I love right now, as the lyrics are so meaningful and has so much depth.

And then there's Zico. My friend JASMINE let me listen to 2 of his songs from his mixtape and I loved it. I hate it how he's in a rookie group since he deserves much more than what he has now but his group suits him. He did a cover of BOB's Billionaire and it was blasting, you guys should deffos check it out when you can.



Anyhooooo, I will be back to Golden Hour Djing as I will DJ for Birthday Golden Hour- 2NE1 Dara on Novemeber the 12th- ohheck, that's the kpop fest right? oh wells, if you guys are hanging at ANZ stadium and want to listen to something with your internet, tune in at HELLOKPOP RADIO.

my jam. is. done ;)







it's a thursday rant :)

I need money. like seriously.
My mum won't let me get a job or something, it's really stinky.

But...SHE'LL LET ME GET ANOTHER PIERCING. fck yeah. I've always wanted to get another piercing...but i have different places where i want to have it. obviously she won't let me get a bellybutton, so that'll suck.
I want one on my cartillage at the top of my ear, but my friend says mine needs to mature or i might risk breaking it. I don't know, i seriously want it and i know people my age who have it. And i do want one next to my other ear pierced holes. I was thinking, one cartilage pierce on my left ear and one second one at the lobe on the right? I don't know, I don't know if that's weird or not. But i like the idea.

I've been thinking a lot of shaving my head as well. Like, half shave it and shave an infinite sign on it. I don't know! It's going to make my unsharp jaw very obvious though. haha.

Okay, let me ask you something? Do you really think about what people think about you? And not just the way you dress but like..the way you act in public? I have this friend who's like: "Omg. i didn't want to carry ______ around where i live because it's embarassing; I don't want to go do this, do that, because it's embarassing."

I think like that..but only to an extent. I don't know, i feel like she's too worried about what people think about her, and I don't think she'd should think like that because there are more people who are in a worst position than her or don't have the money to dress themselves properly. She, on the other hand, spends lots of time and money to make her look appropriate...but for who? I understand if she has a boyfriend or something but she's too...I don't know.

And she's very judgemental as well. If someone would say something, she'd be like: "
Ewwwww...that's so weird." She's very judgemental about things even and it's too blunt, sometimes to a point when it's just very mean. But, how am I meant to tell her this? And someone did actually say it but she's like: "Yeah but I have to tell her so she knows." Knows what? That she likes something that you don't? That she finds something cool and you don't? Is that a bad thing?

And, whenever she sees something on someone that she doesn't like, she disses them. Like...if someone wears an accessory that she thinks is gross, she judges them; judging their clothes, their face, their hair.

I don't know what to say. I honestly do that but I know when it's the limit to stop. And plus, judging someone/telling that they're ugly doesn't make you any prettier.

Anyhooooo. New's on Luke. This: I SERIOUSLY AM OVER HIM.

OMG REALLY. LIKE, egotistic? Mean? Ignorant? My sister told me that he still bullies her bf and, although I've sided with Luke everytime, i think i can't anymore. He's too much of a biotch.

I. AM. DONE.
