The egg has hatched.......

Well one of them has finally come to life. However I am not happy at all about how they are photographing. I think the pictures are making it look sort of bad, bummer:( Oh well, I cannot fix it until I pick up the darn manual and read how to adjust my camera settings.

The above is one of the 4 birds I sculpted out out of clay. This one is an apple green with brown detailing(which you really cannot pick up in the pictures) I have 3 more still getting worked on, lets see: a red one, a blue one, and a tan one.

I made them all different shapes and so far I am really liking the more simple one like the one I am showing you now. As soon as I finish the rest I will be posting them, so keep a look out for the rest of my little hatch lings:)

Ive got a few other ideas brewing in my head and I hope to play with those later on tonight. I am also going to tackle a project that has been sitting on the sidelines for a few months now, a Strawberry fields mini scrapbook done with Polaroids I took there this past summer.

I am finding tons of inspiration from other artist blogs especially Freckled nest which I mentioned earlier this week. I am really interested in the things you can create, and I have no doubt that I to can make some fun pieces as well.

Another thing that has been catching my eye alot lately is all things Icelandic, Finnish and Swedish. I love the designs that come from these places as well as the music for sure. A blog I found that is full of eye candy would be Camilla...........................and I like to read this blog while listening to one of my new favorite bands Seabear! Me and Will both agree that there seems to be alot of good bands forming over in that part of the world. It must be the magic that surrounds those areas:)

For those of you out there who enjoy a good comic book read once in awhile I highly recommend "The Umbrella Academy". The writer is Gerard Way(lead singer of My Chemical Romance) the cover art is done by James Jean (its amazing) and the inside art is done by Gabriel Bá (not to shabby). In a nutshell 7 children with super powers get adopted by a man by the name of "The Monocle" in the hopes of having them save the world from evil. The story then flashes 20Ty years later, their adoptive father has died and they all have to come together and put aside their differences and get to work on doing what they were suppose to do in the first place..............................SAVE THE WORLD!!! I'm not as good as Will when it comes to writing little summaries of comic books and movies, so go ahead and read more about this series here.

On the cuteness factor I just have to share the following with you. This morning Spike was feeling the Americas Next Top model deal and and posed for the camera for a good 10 minutes. Yes it may look like I have no life taking so many pictures of him, BUT man oh man he is so cute it makes me sick and I usually can never get a good picture of him. So enjoy!!!!
