Egg-cellent Easter Eggs

Yesterday in the spirit of Easter my mother and I painted some easter eggs.

This egg I splatter painted in the spirit of Jackson Pollock


We used painters tape to create the designs on these two eggs.

This last egg is my favorite. To create the dots on the egg I wrapped the egg in a paper towel and dripped different colors onto the paper towel.

One Year

Well today is the one year anniversary of my blog. If I could I would have celebrated with Charles Phoenix's Cherpumple but sadly I didn't have the time to make it. If you don't know what a Cherpumple is, it is a three layered cake with a whole pie inside each layer. Well for all of those new bloggers out there I cant wait to be celebrating your anniversaries. Till then

On the Rocks

Sorry I haven't posted anything up in such a long time. Between the end of my first semester of school and the holidays I have been busy. One of my New Years resolutions is to be more consistent with my blog. Above is a picture of me at Vasquez Rocks. I went there on Monday and found it funny when I opened up my Teen Vogue and found this Marc Jacobs advertisement

Well here are some of my pictures of the rocks.



Here are some pictures I took of what was growing on the rocks. I love the contrast between the red of the rocks and the bright green.

Under the Big Top

Cirque du Soleil is a Canadian circus company famous for its shows with dramatic affects, new age music and talented performers. Kooza is one of its newest shows in which the company decided to go back to its roots and focus more on the extreme talent of its performers. This show is considered one of there best because of the truly incredible human feats displayed in the show. Flips on stilts, dancing unicyclists and incredible contortionists make you heart stop.


I tried getting into the spirt of the circus by putting on some colorful tights. Best photo quality I could get with an iphone.

The Dude

Last night I went to Gustavo Dudamel's Inaugural Concert and Gala. Gustavo is the 28 year old new conductor and music director for the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
Although it was a black tie event inside the beautiful Disney Concert Hall, they offered free tickets to the public by lottery. I was one of those lucky people who got to watch the concert by live simulcast in the Dorothy Chandler less that a block away.

The first piece of music that the Phil performed was City Noir by John Adams. This piece the third in a group based on the California experience. This 30 minute symphony was based on late 40's early 50's Hollywood film noir. It was absolutely wonderful. Dudamel was was so much fun to watch. His movement and facial expressions were so energetic and charming. At the end of the end of the first movment of City Noir he got this grin on his face because he knew that he had done a great job. This
picture above I took with a delayed exposure so you can really see his movement. I also like the picture to the left because you can see his passion for the music and his energy that he gives the orchestra. If you want 2 free downloads of some of Gustavo's best performances check out this website.

LACMA

This scarf I made by my self and I will be adding a DIY soon.

This is a picture from a exibit about Joseph Beuys the "German Warhol". This picture is of the artist who was wrapped up in felt by his friends as soon as he arrived in New York. Then they put him in an empty gallery where he was stuck with a coyote and all he had was a cane.

The Jeff Koontz sculptures were also pretty amazing.

Brown Boots

Here are some pictures of what I wore today at school.

These are some great shoes I found in my mom's closet... Always raid your parent's closets, you never know what treasures they might have.

This is a great bracelet with watch faces that I got in San Francisco
