Runner Bean

Just a few minutes ago I was browsing etsy in the local artists section when I stumbled upon a company called "RunnerBean." So I clicked on one of their items for sale, thinking it was a wooden figurine or something, and then BAM! I looked closer and realized that it was a tiny little toy made entirely of rolled up paper. The company has a few jewelery pieces, some figurines and some cards and envelopes. I am super impressed with their paper paper dolls. You have to see this.

Bucks Rock

So this summer I am going to a sleepover camp for a month. It's called Buck's Rock. Hopefully this one will be better in comparison to the YMCA summer camps (ick). Here's the good part-the camp is a performing and visual arts camp! They have tons of different things to do from digital photography to painting, making jewelery, acting, or spelunking. Yeah, so I'm pretty excited. They also have a sewing shop, which is awesome because I want to improve my sewing skills. The thing that makes bucks rock unique from other art camps is the freedom they allow campers. When you wake up in the morning you have a choice of any one of the 30 or so shops (activities such as painting, sewing etc.). I can't wait!

Savage Muse

So today I was looking on Etsy, this amazing site that hosts DIY designers, and I found this designer that sells jewelery. They have sort of a grunge/industrial style. Their jewlery is really unique though. Their items are made of anything from hemp to real bugs. It's pretty sweet. The designer is called Savage Muse. They have an Etsy and a Myspace.
Hope you like it!

Postlapsaria

Ok, so I will probably be posting a lot of clothing sites on here because that's just what I like the best. Having my own business is my goal one day.
So I found this site a little while ago. Their clothes are very clean cut and simple, but they still have amazing style. "Postlapsaria.com is dedicated to creating and distributing products that stimulate an aesthetic appeal in people who appreciate sub-culture." I have never bought any clothes from the site, but I still like just look at them for inspiration.

Softies

So a few months ago I was browsing through the craft section at Barnes and Noble's when I cam across this book called "Softies." Apparently Softies are the latest craze in Japan. They are tiny handmade plush toys. There are a ton of websites and blogs that are just for Softies. I would definitely recommend this book. Plus, it comes with a bunch of patterns in the back so you can make any one of the Softies included in the book!

Oh! And you should check out this blog all about Softies

Winter Ball 2 (The morning after)

So it's now 12 hours after winter ball. My friends have already left and I'm stuck at home, pretty much alone, listening to music and just hanging out. The dance was amazing. They mostly played hip hop music-ick-like all of the other dances. Oh! and that cotton eye joe song, and the redneck woman one. Ahhhh, only in Vermont. But they played some good music, like that What is Love song-love it. Pictures will be up soon, I have to upload them or get them from other people.

Winter Ball

The winter ball for my school is tonight at the Sheraton. So far I have gotten my hair done and my dress all picked out. All that remains is to wait for my friends to come and get dressed. I'll probably post pictures in a few days.

Bored?

I found this game a while back. The site has a bunch of games like this Grow Cube one. It's all about actions and the reaction. It's pretty interesting to watch what happens after you make certain moves in the game. The site is called Eyezmaze, and they have a few other games you should check out also.

Need Inspiration?

I have the perfect site. deviantART is a site dedicated to helping artists of all kinds show off their work. There are thousands of artists who do anything from photography to cartooning. I go here a lot for just inspiration, or maybe using a picture for a school project instead of using those crappy clip-art pictures. :D

Official.

I'm now and official blogger! woohoo!

Hi, my name is Zoie.
This is my first blog. I am interested in fashion-y art stuff. I find a lot of websites that are dedicated to art, fashion, or just awesome little gadgets and whatnot. So why not share it with you, right?
