DIY pencilcase

I cant believe it. I have actually sewn a thing that you can use in real life !!! Well I shouldn't really take that much credit for it: my best friend helped me (a lot) with the sewing part, but the design drawn on the textile is actually mine ;) and I think the finished work looks great and its also practical for the new school year.
By the by my school is starting in 10 days and I'm so freaking out cause, hell I'm scared!!!

Family remembrances

I spend some time looking through my grandmothers old photos. Some of them are really random and could even pass as art. Here are some I liked.

Moulin des nonnes

I came back a week a go from my trip to France. Just with all the school stuff that overwhelmed me, I hadn't had a minute of freedom to post these Polaroid pics I made of the "nuns". Sorta creepy, but fascinating as well.... The women we met said that the place she lived in used to be a mill that belonged to some nuns therefore she decided to set up these...sculptures(?) of nuns all around it. 

Anyway since I have holidays this week I will try to post some more stuff

Sewing

 

My new master piece! I'm actually starting to learn how to sew and it turned out that its not THAT hard... although... the book said that I would only take an hour to make the skirt. It took me six hours, but here is the result of hard consistent work and I love it even if I cant ware it now (because it will hang on my wall) it will be a remainder that I can do anything if I try hard enough.

Winter fruits

Mmmm...I feel like some one smashed my brain. I feel like all the energy and creativity have left my body. I don't get it why its just so damn hard for me to DRAW. I love drawing, but sometimes I just feel that Ideas look way better in my head than in real life. Great,  I want to be an artist, but I'm too lazy to draw or think. Plus my work is rubbish, why  even bother then? I don't know maybe there is just this tiny little spark of hope that I'm not completely talentless! ha! Hope always dies last, well in that case I will be spending my life doing nothing else than garbage, oh well guess I will just have to deal with that. Great, now that this is out of my way lets talk about the pictures. 

More or less I had this post idea that I just couldn't  really rap up since last week.  It was freezing cold in Lithuania and we drove to the country side to visit my grandmother. That's what turned out of some old decoration I found and a tree in my grannies apple garden. Hope you like it and I'm looking forward to the day that my creative juices return or I shall end in a flat with a bunch of cats that I'm allergic to. And die. from an allergic reaction. And my corpses eyes will be big and red and puffy and...ok ! I'm stopping right now.

Comparing walls

I have been to the Fluxus exhibition (again) because my other friend really really really wanted to see it, but she didn't want to go alone there. So helpful as I am I just went along. I didn't  really expect to see something new, but there I stood in front of a wall which was once blank that had all sorts of stuff attached to it. Apparently I had missed a sign before that said:

And just then I got that strong feeling of deja vu because it seemed that I had seen such a wall before not a long time ago at my home!

Polaroid Art

Celebrating independence day

 Recently I have been looking through some of my polaroid pictures and I thought that I could actually post some of them here. They look sort of older then they really are. I own my polaroid camera for maybe 3 or 4 years and I really like taking pictures with it since you never know what will come out.

Love

   

  

Monsters seem to get me going. I made this one quiet a while ago, but never really got to post him. I know the name is everything but original, but it makes sort of sense. My friend saw the collage and thought of it. She actually recited some lines of a famous lithuanian poet, Sigitas Geda:

" Mane užliejo jaudinančios vilnys,

aš prisiminiau spalvas tavūjų žodžių "

yeah...Im not gonna translate this now, because Im really sucky in translating stuff, but the point is that this monster is in some sort of ways cute, but also creepy and sad and so much more. And thats what love is. Its a mixture of many different feelings and it makes us cry and laugh and jump out of the closed window. I think you will see more of those sort of monsters in the future so prepare and enjoy 

Little Monsters

This years X-mass cards turned out sort of crazy, but I like them because in a sense they reflect me.
They maybe don't have that standard X-mass spirit, but thats why I actually like them. So I decided to post a couple of them. Hope you enjoy :)

When I don't know what to say.....

....I mostly say random stuff, Like:
Elephants are cute...and I like them.

Even more pears...

This is a copy of a watercolour that a famous american artist drew...painted..How do you say it properly in English?
 Do you draw a watercolour or do you paint a watercolour...thing and is it then a drawing or a painting?
 This question is bugging me already the whole afternoon. Really.

A small history lesson

Friedrich the great, whom I drew rather unsuccsessfully ( rigth, that's not Washington over there, although I must admit they do look similar) for those who don't know him (personally), he was the....I think it was emperor....of Prussia.

Life happens to make jokes. In many cases they are more or less life saving. Ok no clue what I'm talking about. Anyway what I wanted to tell you was this:
Although I have no clue of when and where it happened I was fascinated that something like that happened.
 As Friedrich  was always present in the battlefields, sooner or later the enemies soldiers started trying to shoot him. One of those morons actually managed to hit him straight in the middle of his chest.......but as life tends to make jokes Friedrich didn't die. He was saved by a medallion he had worn that day. Random things happen randomly to random people and random babbles you can read and comment in this random blog.

ramblings

Writing isn't something I'm good at. Mainly it's because you need grammar to write just abpout anything.
I wanted to write something about the world, but everything that pops up in my mind about this subjects is really cliché like "...according to wikipedea it's estimated that on earth live about 7 billion people ...." really now?
I guess the earth it self is an enigma. I mean how do you really know that the earth has a hot, dense kinda fluid-ish lava-ish thing as a core ?
We don't. There. I said it.
If I would live in the middle ages I would probably be dead by now.
 Good that if people from the middle ages would live nowadays they would be dead by now as well. Our air sucks. :)
