Yesterday my two adorable cousins came over and stayed for a few hours. It was so fun playing with them!

Liquid Sunshine @ HorseFeathers



Favorite season, and why?
Hmmm.... probably summer, but I really don't like it when its too hot.


How would you describe your personal style?
casual. But this summer I'm planning to get some more vintage stuff as well as boho stuff. Love it!


What's one weird thing you can do? (The stranger the better!)
I can flare my nostrils like a maniac ;)


Rain or shine?
A little of both, I think.


Confession time... what's a flaw of yours?
I always leave things till the last second.


Favorite music?
I really like Kenny Chesney, Katy Perry, Taio Cruz, Bruno Mars and pretty much every "Glee" song. Also, I love Justin Bieber songs, I just don't like his voice.


Have you ever made a decision you instantly regretted? What was it?
I've made a whole bunch of decisions that I've regretted. Usually its something I'll say to a sibling ;)


Who do you admire/look up to?
My mom, my dad and several bloggers :)


You've just won an unlimited lifetime supply of... what?
Clothes of every sort. Like, tons.


If you were an animal, what would you be?
That is tough. I'd like to think of myself as a bird, but in reality I think I'm most like a golden retriever ;) if anyone who knows me is reading this, i would love to hear your opinion!


If you knew you were going to die in a year, what would you do with your time?
Spend time visiting every family member I know, then paint a giant mural on a building that has everything I love best about life


You're now a gazillionaire... where do you go to spend your money?
The apple store. And any store that has cute clothes!


Classical music: love it or hate it?
I actually don't mind it that much. I mean, its definitely not my first choice, but if its on I can tolerate it.


Phobias?
I'm totally scared of shadowy figures in long, dark hallways ;)


Hop on a plane and go live somewhere for a year... where is it, and why?
The first place that came to my mind was Paris, but after thinking about it I think I would really love Ireland.


Are you an extrovert or an introvert?
Neither. I'm sort of in the middle.


Would you/do you perform on stage?
I have performed in plays several years ago, but honestly, if I'm going to act I'd rather do it in front of a camera instead of live onstage.

art+me=a bottomless pit of imagination

i. love. art. I really do. It's a part of me that I need to nurture consistently. Whether its watercolors, a ball point pen or just a broken crayon I need to draw or paint at least once a day.

Drawing relieves me of stress. I let all my emotions flow out onto the paper. Writing also a good stress-reliever, but somehow whenever I grab a notebook and a pen to write my mind goes blank. Meanwhile, when I'm drawing I think up tons of stories in my head and usually the people on the paper end up being the characters. For instance....


Meet Jade

DSC_0001

Jade is a courageous, clever, heroin-to-be. With jade-green eyes and a jade-green scarf around her head, she faces the world with a determination only she can have. Jade was orphaned as a child, her father left before she was born and her mother was tragically killed by Queen Isa's knights, as she was accused for overhearing the queens plan for... well, you'll have to find out ;)

Queen Isa herself adopted the baby and kept the secret of Jade's true mother from her.
As Jade grew up in the castle, she noticed how different she was from her mother. At last, she discovered the truth, and another dangerous secret along with it.

Jade travels around the country, uncovering the mysteries of her past. But she doesn't go alone...

Meet Trina

Trina, Jade's spunky companion, is the always-optimistic one of the pair. She thinks plans out carefully before she puts them into action, and often does things better when she wings it.


Being half elvish she has an excellent sense of hearing and smell, and is very light on her feet. She often speaks in poetry and is excellent as solving riddles.


Her only real fault is that she breaks down under pressure. Will this weakness end up risking the lives of both her and Jade? You'll have to wait and see ;)


Along their way, Jade and Trina meet friends and foes, allies and enemies and here is one of each:

                  Meet Ana                                                                                                                           Meet Fawn

Ana is a shy, artistic, caring half-elf. She has a knack for animals and her favorite moments are when she is alone with her pet falcon. She meets Trina and Jade during their adventure and is happy to offer them help when they need it.


Fawn is a quick-thinking, mysterious, beauty. She is also half elfin and brings her mischievousness that is naturally in her elfin blood to a new extent. Her heart smothered in evil, she tries as hard as she can to stop Jade and Trina from finding out the truth of Jade's past.




Well, there you have it! Whenever I draw, things usually end up like that and I'm emersed in my own thoughts and paintings. Which character is your favorite?
