happy easter!

Happy Easter! I love Easter because BUNNIES (: Bunnies and candy! I haven't updated in a few weeks, it seems. During my spring break I went on a day trip with my dad! It was fun. We ended up going to DC, to the National Gallery of Art. I would have loved to visit other museums, but we only had time for one, sadly.





















I didn't take too many pictures. (My camera battery was low and I forgot to charge it, haha.)  This painting on the right is by Luca Giordano, entitled Diana and Endymion. It gave me some serious Sailor Moon vibes, obviously, haha. I had a wonderful time. (I think my dad was fairly bored though. He's more of a landscape paintings in the living room only kind of guy.) They had a special Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood gallery, which was lovely. I would have loved to have taken some picture in there, but photography was banned in that section of the museum, unfortunately.

The rest of my spring break was (for the most part) spent at work, but I did manage to use some of my free time to draw! The drawing on the right is called Meow. I have always thought hairless cats to be so cute and wrinkly. They need more appreciation! The colors in the background are kind of unappealing, but this was mostly done just for practice/fun. I used colored pencils, markers, watercolors, and a white paint marker. I also made my boyfriend a very *manly* lighter as a gift, haha. I love little DIY projects like this. I also made some of my co-workers some "break time" lighters using stickers from the place we work, haha.

This week, I've been doing almost nothing but go to school/work. I did spend the night with my boyfriend the other night though. We ended up watching a lot of things on Netflix/eating candy. (In which I made him watch Thumbelina with me, haha.) Art-wise, I managed to crank out this sticker/magnet design.

Originally, the rose was to be pink, but I used the wrong shades, so I had to make it red, but I don't think it turned out bad.

I've been printing lots of stickers, haha.
The paper I've been printing them on makes them transparent though, which means I have to place them on a white surface for them to show up correctly. I went to Staples the other day though and bought some regular sticker paper, so we'll see which works better.

So far I've been keeping a log of where I put the stickers to keep up with them. I've only placed three of them on campus, and one of them has already been removed. Bummer.

Lastly, just going to show off this lovely dress I bought! The green/purple colors are perfect! I've never been a fan of this high-low thing? But I actually really like it in this case. The dress is a little big on me, but I think it will shrink in the wash anyways.

I am really in the mood for spring, I have so many things I want to do. I am so ready for school to be over with! (Plus I want to wear cute dresses without having to wear tights/sweaters with them.)

Thanks for reading!
