I made armandii an earring set recently and couldn't resist taking photos in them (don't worry, I always clean them after). The jewelry pieces I make are my babies, I have such a hard time letting them go! ;-) Oh, and I started an etsy account -- don't have much up yet, but I'm planning on making a bunch of simple earrings because I think they'll sell better. This time I want to keep trying until it works. I made two pairs today, though they didn't turn out simple at all -- one took the better part of two hours and the other took one. *rolls eyes at self*

I have discovered Burt's Bees lip shimmer and my friends, I actually like it! I'm collecting all the colors :D I've always hated lip color because it tastes nasty and feels goopy on my lips, but this actually feels like lip gloss, very light, and tastes peppermint YUM! I usually blot, but I wanted intense colors here.

love how the shadow of the branch falls on my face

I love that constellation of moles (the stretched diamond shape) and almost always try to keep it in photos when I crop. ;-)

I have no idea why I haven't used this stone as a backdrop before.

hmm. I may be too pale to properly show off these earrings.

now they're in shadow, that's better.

*blurry giggles* because who holds still when giggling?

I love how this indirect lighting makes my eyes look so deep

I need an updated selfportraiture icon (new camera, longer hair) but I need another person and another camera for that, argh!
