spring? are you here yet?

oh lord, i am no good at blogging. and so i will...rant. for my own entertainment, i suppose.

i'm working on a piece for my metal casting class right now that involes babies. lots of babies. i'm a pretty proud momma thus far, they're pretty special. uh-like so:



first we have baby: the original. basasdlgkj. i casted this little guy from a little plastic one i found in a pack at hobby lobby (with '1" white babies' as the description...i found that oddly hilarious. i find this whole project oddly hilarious). so with him i made a rubber mold, wiiiith which i was able to make lots and lots of WAX babies. and then i turned into a baby-makin machine last week and spent about ten hours cleaning them up and giving them accessories...






my dear friends, let me introduce you to mustache baby (slightly hard to see), monocle/pipe baby (somei say he resembles mr. peanut. hey, i'll take it), top hat/cane baby (monopoly man much?), propeller cap baby, iPod baby, pirate baby, shades baby, french baby (oui, oui!) and max-ish lookin' baby (kind of an accident...long story. i'm rollin' with it). not pictured: business baby, complete with a neck tie and brief case!

my babies will (hopefully) be in metal by friday, or at least most of them.

in other news: last weekend i went with robs and sand (mom and aunt, for future reference) to the most fantastic vintage clothing store in the hiiiistory of vintage clothing stores. i only bought two things (the cheapest. ho-hum), but they make me want spring time soooooo badly:





apologies for the lame-o picture in my dorm room/cell phone pic. they're awful, i know and the colors look horrendous in comparison to what they actually look like. also, please disregard my cankles :D much oblige. but ooohh my god, vintage high-waisted blue floral skirt? the springiest spring heels i've ever seen? i'm not sure the labels on them or anything too specific, and i'm far too lazy to find out right now. let's all just gawk and admire. the top in the picture with the blue skirt actually came with matching high-waisted pants that looked awkward on me. shucks.

i get too happy and too giddy around wonderful vintage clothing. there was a lot of gasping going on.


oh my, too much writing. i do that. have a lovely day!
