I've been rapidly cycling between hypomania and depression yesterday and today, and I needed to let off some creative steam. I felt the need for some art supplies, so after work Patrick and I took a jaunt down to Ballard's
Dakota Art Store, and I stocked up on canvas, itty bitty easels (2x2"), some more acrylics (red and black) and a red pen. I'll show you the results when I'm finished if they aren't terrible.
Update: here is one result: Update #2: here is another one:Update 3: I'll stop doing this now, I promise. |
| This one kind of sucked, so we turned it sideways and I'm pretending it's Cthulhu in tree form. With sharks. Pretend with me. |
While we were there, we decided some cupcakes might be in order, so we stopped by
Cupcake Royale and got ourselves a few. I had a babycake on the spot and ordered a Deathcake Mocha. Yes, there
is such a thing. It was very tasty. We also got four to go, and they are currently biding their time on our kitchen counter. We may manage to wait a while before scarfing them, but it's looking doubtful.
I also decided a wander through
La Tienda was in order. It's basically a shop with stuff you don't need and most of which you don't want, but it has a few gems in it that are totally covetable. One such: a necklace made out of an iridescent butterfly wing (don't worry, it died of natural causes first; the natives collect the wings from the forest floor and it provides them with income). It is stunning, and I love it.
