My Temporary Body Art.

I had a great time yesterday at the Canadian National Exhibition with the boyfriend. It’s become a yearly tradition for us, and this year was fantastic as always.

I found a booth at the International Pavilion that did temporary tattoos and I decided to get one. My tattoo is made of black jagua, which is applied like brown henna, but appears blue-black like real tattoos. The difference, though, is that when brown henna flakes off, the tattoo is at its most vibrant colour, while jagua appears faint after 2 hours, but fully develops after 24-48 hours.


Taken 5 hours after application.


Taken 24 hours after application.

I also got a pair of earrings that are made of real leaves dipped in sterling silver. It’s pretty amazing how crafty these people are!

I’m kinda nervous about going back to school tomorrow after working on my internship. I know school will kick my ass but I’m up for the challenge. :) Hope everyone had an amazing summer and labour day weekend! Now here’s to an even better fall season!

I am a Frustrated Artist.

Aah it’s a lazy Friday. It’s been a lazy week actually. I finished my internship last Friday, and I’ve been bumming around the house a lot.

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it before, but I took an acrylic painting class last Fall. I love artsy fartsy things and I always wanted to take up an art class (beyond school). So after 10 weeks of 3 hour sessions each, I have 2 paintings to show for it. I know it doesn’t sound like much, but my attention span doesn’t allow me any more than that! lol.

Anyways, I’ve decided to share my paintings with the intarwebz! They’re not originals though. I copied paintings and photographs that I like.

I hope to do a lot more… I just need inspiration, a stop to my laziness / ADD, and time!
