Bottle Cap Planets

I really like making art out of things that I usually throw away. I looked through my recycling bin and decided to collect plastic bottle caps and make something out of them. I have a really bare wall in my room, so I decided to turn them into a wall decoration.

Loving the different shapes and sizes.

I painted them a colour I already used throughout my room.

I like to pretend they're planets.

To stick them to the wall, I'd suggest using either pins, sticky tack or tape. I think I'll end up adding more caps to my wall, I really like how it looks. I also read that most places don't even allow plastic bottle caps to be recycled.

P.S. I was amazed by all the other things people have turned plastic bottle caps into, after Google searching it.

Bird Machine

wingbirds

Today in my head I imagined what it would look like if birds created millions of tiny birds from the feathers of their wings as they flew. I can't really draw well enough to show you, but this sketch will have to do for now. I just want to go grab a butterfly net and catch them.

My Window Talks

I've seen people post photos of messages in windows for a while now. I've wanted to do it myself for so long, and I finally got around to it. The only problem was that the tape doesn't stick to the window mesh, so I had to tape it all on the glass. If I open the window, half of the message moves! I'd love some suggestions.

Edit: I think I'll keep it on the window instead of the mesh. This way it won't get damaged by rain.

windowletters
I used two different fonts. Can you tell?
windowmessage
I'd love it if it could look the same inside and out.
lovelife
The final result. :) I think it turned out fine!

Family Members

In case you don't know all the pets that reside in our home, I decided to photograph them today. Of course, I give you the most detailed and precise photographs you could ask for.

nori
Our maltipoo, who gets mistaken as a mop often.

dragon
Our mountain horned dragon who is very clingy.

bubbles
I've never held the tarantula. I'm too scared.

story
My beautiful moody chameleon, on a constant PMS.

velcro2
The stinkiest rat on the face of the planet.


Yesterday my hermit crab was trying out new homes.

Looks like she decided on this shell instead.

A Hand Worth Five


armhands

Sometimes I pretend that my fingers are tiny arms.

I drew them on my hand to see what it feels like.

Then I wondered what it would actually look like!

Maybe it would have looked better if my arms weren't so thin.

Please excuse my horrible photoshop skills!
