Moth And Vine...new mask
Ever busy. Last night I was pining for a spot of green. Spring can't come soon enough for me this year...I really hate February with a passion. So, to make myself happy, I thought about the color of Spring. To me it's the color of new green & wet earth. That's where this mask comes from.
I'm calling it "Moth And Vine"...original, neh? Everyone seems to love my luna moth, so I just used the same luna moth that I use for my large barrette, & put it on a brown mask. It needed balance though so I did this cute little vine on the other side...
Like a little viney eyebrow. It's not anything I researched...just a cute little green tendril with gold buds on one end. I used two different kinds of browns, for the base mask color. I wanted a rich wet chestnut brown & I think I got it.
I put it up on Etsy already, for cheap! $50 for a prototype...but I'm okay with that because I want to make many more of them. I drew the vine freehand so it'll be fun & different every time. It occured to me, as I made it, that I like the combination of brown & new green almost as much as I like brown and turquoise together. It just makes me happy.
Speaking of brown, I ordered the cutest top for myself from Anthropologie. It's just a simple dark brown gauze baby doll top with fluttery cap sleeves...it looks like a mini dress but you wear it over jeans. When it comes, I'm going to embellish it with brown/gold/turquoise paisley baroque trim (I already bought the trim). It's going to be so fun & fluttery. ^_^ I'm a Bohemian in my dress style, if not lifestyle.
Char is finally feeling better. That's a good thing. She's had the flu & has been coughing & sneezing & moaning & sputtering all over the house. If I don't get sick it'll be a freaking miracle.
My Brother is in Brussels again, with Franco. He'll probably be heading to Greece with him again. Later next month he's off to Hong Kong. I am so...conflicted when I think of that. I'm feeling proud/jealous/excited for him all at once. What an awesome adventure his life is.
Well...my life is busy enough right now. I think though, once Char is in college, things are going to change for me. My business is taking off, too. I want to travel & see new places & spend more time with my family (I miss my brother & sister so much). Why not? There's so much out there to see & do. I should be seeing it & doing it.
EDIT...I just hit 600 "hearts" on Etsy. Six hundred people have faved my shop, as of 11:30 AM. That's freaking amazing!
