Have some pretty flowers dammit!

 I'm in a terrible mood!  This is hilarious because I spent the weekend working on a project involving pretty flowers:

That's a Forget-Me-Not barrette.  They're part of a custom order I filled over the weekend (& did you know forget-me-nots are Alaska's state flower?  Nope...neither did I).  It's very...funny that I'm making such dainty sweet things & yet seething on the inside.  High-larious, kids.

(  Opinions needed... )

Oh boy...I feel like killing something with my TEETH today!  Grr!  WTF??

 Wow.  Today was proof positive that you get out of life exactly what you bring to it.    Assuming this one day is a microcosm of my existence in general, I will have to say this is why I try to have a positive outlook towards life.  Anything less is downright dangerous.

( When bad things happen to cranky people. )

Anyway.  I feel like I'm being tested, somehow.  So glad to see this day ending. 

In other news I have an idea for a new mask design.  Another half-mask like the forget-me-nots only beach-themed.  I want to do a sandy colored mask with a seashell off to one side, maybe a wave foaming towards it.  It'll be like a beachscape or maybe a beach still life scene.   I love seashells.  I collect them & I have plenty of models to choose from.  They're just about my favorite objects...seashells.  I like them better than flowers because they're so tactile & they endure, yet they're organic and as exotic in design as any orchid.   Don't know why I didn't think of doing it sooner.

Doing flower & beach-themed masks is my idea of escapism.   I'm hurrying Summer along, in my own way. 

EDIT:  Well...okay so one good thing happened.   One of my pieces in my Etsy shop ended up in a treasury that was featured on the front page.  In one hour I got over 40 faves...I'm up to almost 800 watchers right now.  That's pretty cool.  ^_^
