so kawaii

I am obsessed with the kawaii culture

everything is cute and shiny and cartoonish.

I wish the whole world was kawaii.

Kawaii (かわいい [kaw͍ai.i], "lovable", "cute", or "adorable"^[1]) is the quality of cuteness in the context of Japanese culture.^[2][3][4] It has become a prominent aspect of Japanese popular culture, entertainment, clothing, food, toys, personal appearance, behavior, and mannerisms.^[5] The noun is kawaisa (可愛さ^?), literally, "lovability", "cuteness" or "adorableness".

The root word is "kawai", formed from the kanji "ka" (可), meaning "acceptable", and "ai" (愛), meaning "love". The term kawaii has taken on the secondary meanings of "cool",^[6] "groovy",^[6] "acceptable",^[7] "desirable",^[7] "charming"^[8] "non-threatening", ^[8] and "innocence".

I've always loved hello kitty and even in high school my side kick was blinged out with a huge obnoxious cellphone charm. 

Ive recently been lusting over  kawaii whipped iphone cases. 

like these

made by xanadujulie

so I've been determined to make my own, after lots of googling I discovered that people make the little pieces themselves with clay so I went an bought a BUNCH of clay and spend hours watching tutorials on how to make different things. 

this girl socraftastic is no joke,

watch her videos and she will teach you everything.

then I watched this girls whipped decoden tutorial video.

and I made....

obviously xanadujulies is better, but Im a beginner. 

BUUUUT I am pretty proud of myself for hand making all my little clay pieces!

watch tutorials on how to make waffle molds, chocolate bars, flowers, bears, cupcakes. 

and its super fun, when I get better at it I am going to sell these in the etsy store

interwebs

fun posts that I liked enough to drag on to my desktop and share with my 5 readers, (maybe 2?) 

things in my little Arizona life are stressful, Im like a month behind in my computer class. I wish it was like the movies and tv shows where you can hire some nerd to do all your work for you

( nerds... email me ;) )

Dreamcatchers!

With the street fair ending this weekend I got a random spurt of creative energy.

I saw a bunch of dreamcatchers at the street fair for 70$ and up. So I went and bought my own hoops and taught myself to weave a dreamcatcher!

tomorrow I plan on buying a small hula hoop

and making a HUGE dreamcatcher. 

:)
