Accidents happen

Hmm, I first thought that I'd just update the first post a bit to a less self-glorifying form, but ended up rewriting it completely. For some reason it doesn't show that it has been edited, which confuses me a bit. Well, anyways.

I'm back, just like I hoped I would be.

I've been sick for few days now. (That's what you get for sauna and running around naked. Alcohol was involved but not harmed. Just used.) I don't tend to get fever and this time was the worst ever.

But since we don't know eachother well enough for  you (not saying there was anyone reading this) to be interested in my feverish nonsense.

Speaking of which (interests) I'll continue with the list:


Baking

The first one I ended up naming 'Two girls and way too many cup(cake)s', because I made 24 of them and the other girl (or my dog, you could say too) was forbidden to have any. So I had to eat my way through them alone. I won, but haven't baked anything sweet for a month now.

Sorry about the crappy picture, but it's my first ever ryebread. It turned out quite well, I must say. It was delicious.

But then again, I'm not much of a baker either, I love it. But I do it only once in a while, so not any clever tips to be expected from here. More like "yay, I didn't burn these cinnamonrolls". I normally burn at least half of what ever I'm doing when it comes to baking. I can't just sit and wait in the kitchen and watch the stuff in the oven and if I do something else too, then *kaboom* they have burned before the time's even up.

Random activity, crafts, what ever you want to call it:

Because of my love for photography, I can't say how bad I feel about the quality of these two following pictures, but because of the lighting in the location is horrible, I couldn't do much. I could have taken it out too, but it would have been quite a lot more difficult to represent the usage.

The story is simple. One evening I got this idea of giving a new life to pair of reindeer antlers (I didn't yet have). At our school canteen I asked if my friends could search for a pair of those for me while shopping second hand (which they are very fond of too) and in the same moment one of them told me she had just seen a pair in a local place. So, bought, some polishing, spray color, some glossy spray varnish and ta-dah! The backgroung (sorry, forgot the word in finnish too) was made at school, it's aluminium and was made with sand casting (if that's even the right word, feel free to correct). To be honest it wasn't that fast project as I made it sound like. It would have been, but sometimes I get bored with some stuff and then it takes a while to return my interest.

And by the way, all you haters. If I didn't warn you already, I'm a mink lady, I don't have anything against using vintagefur. First of all, it's old, burning it wouldn't give the animal its life back. Second, it's way more ecological choice (cause it's second hand) than the syntheticmaterials that people wear so much (and it does actually decompose too, your acrylic sweater that is usable for two winters doesn't do that).

So, if you must tell me how horrible murdered I am, feel free to. I'm planning to take my dog hunting too. And I prefer my meat as raw as possible.
And, oh, yeah. I don't stop wearing fur if someone throws a paint bucket on me (hasn't happened yet, I'm glad). I'll just search for vintage boutiques and average second hand shops for a "new" one. A fur is best vintercoat I've ever had. It's warm, it breathes and if it has lasted for 20+ years already I'm quite sure its not the worst choise for a wintercoat. So, all you vegetarians wearing leathershoes and vegans using materials that don't ever decompose, look in to the mirror. I'm not a saint, but don't pretend that you are.
And I think I'm trough with the listing, at least for now. I think I'll try to open up my list a bit better in the next post.

For the closure, the jewelry. Obvious things for Miss Obvious Prime like me:

To create and to be and to do-be-do-be-doo.

Do you have to be annoyingly depressed person to be able to create some real deep shit?
 

So, I put this blog up in fall of 2010. Back then I had the idea of updating here about my "creative projects". I'm not sure about the creative-part anymore. To be honest. I'm not sure about anything at all.
I'm not even sure if the language should be finnish or english. In the name of fair game I should probably give swedish a chance too. I mean. No matter what the language is I'll be known for the mis-typings and nonchalant behaviour of my own spelling. So I'm quite sure that depending on my mood the language will change, many many times.

Back then I was overwhelmed byt the fact that I had started to do stuff again. And less than a month later I stopped it, again. Once more.
Now I'm re-writing the opening for this thing that is to be called A BLOG.

In the name of honesty, I'm a mess. To everyone else my life is a mess too. So is my home. And everything I have got anything to do with. So I'm quite sure that if I'm able to start blogging even somewhat regularly it's going to take quite a while to figure out what kind of a blog this ends up being.

So, maybe I should list down the stuff I'm into to get a more clear view?

Photography


But then again, I'm not one of those who are into cameras. I've been using the same lens/objective/what so ever (see what I ment?) that came with my EOS 1000D when I bought it (summer 2008 was it?), the one with Image Stabilizer. So it's more like I'll be filling this blog with photos more than talking about photography itself.
When it comes to photography I don't 'belive' into photoshopping. Cropping is the only thing I do, if I do something. In my opinion a photographer should learn to take photos that look good without 'shoppin' them. And when it comes to portraits, well, I feel like we've seen quite too much of "a bit re-touched" portraits.
What I appriciate in digital cameras is the fact that I can learn to shoot where the actions happening, no need to try and hope for the best. I can see right away if I was right at all about the position and the lighting. Hmm, seems like my listing is turning out as ranting. So to the next subject. Maybe I should just list stuff here, and then do update about each part and how it affects my life etc?


Yeah, that I'll do.

Clothing (vintage, fashion, what ever, you name it, I'll rant. Again.8D )

I tried to search for a photo that would work as an example of my realtionship with clothing, but realized that there wasn't only one photo to describe it. Except me, smiling. Because that's what clothes do to me, make me smile.
(Btw, if you are against leather etc, please, leave now. I'm the person who eats meat and rather uses fur, since it's way more ecological than fake materials.)

Under this "category" goes too making new ones (I have to take a decent photo of my graduationpartydress that I made last month) and modifying old ones. I've done that ever since 7th grade or so. Biggest problem seems to be taking before, w-i-p and after -photos. But here is the result of my latest one, inspired by a trip to Great, Stunning America a bit less than a year ago and as you can see, fashion too.

And in the pic up above you can see small part of that next interest, a 5-year-old dachshund bitch.

I'm not much of a dogperson. I'm not that much into pets at all. I do like animals, but didn't plan to have a dog of my own at least not n o w. She just surprised me a bit less than year ago by stealing my heart. Not saying that it has been easy road to become a person with dog but haven't regretted it at all. But, she has become something I tend to call Liebchen, daily.

And this is getting out of my hands no.8D No one will read a post this long.oO So I'll end this one here and think about this stuff for a while. Hopefully I'll return to this within a few days.


Today is a good day to start, if you didn't start already. So live.
