Rainbow Lion

I finally finished my lion painting. I'm pretty pleased at how it turned out... now I need to start on my paintings that have deadlines attached to them...

Thrift Shopping Finds

I found this adorbs purse it was originally $25 but the lady ended up selling it to me for $10! Originally it had this really ugly small strap for a handle but I cut it off and replaced it with two necklace chains connected together. I love love love it.

        I also found these green army type pants and a Chinese Karate jacket it's wicked awesome but just a little more than a tad bit too big; which lowers its awesome level. 

    
 I am in desperate need of a job and I just thought of the most fantastical idea- to work at a thrift shop! Only problem is I would have to wait until the summer because of the three thrift shops in my sorry ass town the latest it stays open is five :/. Another problem is since they are measly little thrift shops they don't pull in that much money especially with their hours so they might not be able to support another employee. However, it would suit me more than working at Subway or Dairy Queen.

I fed a giraffe!

Although this wasn't on my bucket list... it should have been! I wanted to pet the crap out of the thing but I was afraid that lady over there would have liked smacked me or something... Isn't he cute? I love love love quirky different animals and I am strongly thinking about becoming a zoo person but I'm not entirely sure I believe in zoos so maybe a Safari person...

I wish so bad that this was a real elephant

The fam and I (minus two)... yes the tiger is part of our family.

Just me in my awesome pants on top of a van. 

This elephant will one day be mine... well not this exact elephant but an elephant nonetheless.

I milked a cow!

I can now cross number 32 off my bucket list. 

It wasn’t exactly how I imagined it would be, milking a cow, and it was quite difficult. After I finally kind of got the hang of it my hand started getting really sore. So if you’re a cow milker I drop my hypothetical hat to you. I have yet to try the milk that I collected but I’m told it tastes the same if not better than regular milk. However, I was woken up at 5 something in the morning to retrieve the cream from the top of said milk and apparently I’m supposed to shake that until it turns to butter and all this other junk. Anywho I will say that even though I’m not too good at milking cows I can see a cow in my future. Milk is expensive and it’s always super annoying to wake up in the morning to an empty jug of milk… plus cows are fun!

YouTube, Pants, Ice Cream

I kind of just made my first YouTube video (click here)... it's really very random and for some reason I'm speaking in a British accent which I guess would be cool if I was from England or at least acted like I was but I say I'm from Texas at the beginning so I kind of ruined it but enough of my rambling you should check it out.. I would post it here but I was stupid and put it under a different email address and I don't even know if that matters but I can't figure out how to get it on here so you're just going to have to click the link thingy...

On another note I'm in head over heels in love with my new pants! However I've already managed to get paint all over them :/. (& although it looks like a big pee spot on the floor it's really just a paint water stain...)

And on a completely different note- I finally painted my ice cream cone and I used watercolor suffice to say I think my water color skills might still need some work but I'm still happy how it turned out.

Wicked Awesome Somewhat Boring Day

Yesterday I went to an art group thingy here in town. It was mostly filled with oldish weird people but I got an awesome artist friend to go with me which was good because it would have been WAYYY more awkward if it was just me. I wasn't sure what to expect.. I had zero expectations. I'm still not entirely sure what it is were supposed to do but we all brought some of art. I haven't really ever shown my art to another artist other than my wicked awesome friend but I got some good feedback. Anyway were supposed to meet again next month with a new painting or whatever. The theme is Ferocious animals which naturally I came up with. And we might get some kind of gallery thing to display all of art to get people inspired and what not. We still have to find a building which shouldn't be too hard considering half the buildings in this sorry town are run down and empty. I guess it's kind of nice to be apart of something even though I do feel way out of place. I'm so awkwardly shy but I think this will be good for me. It is kind of exciting to think that my art might see the light outside my bedroom windows. And I'll get to learn from all these great artists that are way more experienced than I and have been doing it for way longer. I guess it is kind of strange that I only started doing art last year. I was a terribly drawer up until now but I've always loved art and the idea of creating something that's never been done before.
