Dressing up like Sandy Olsen from Grease

No one should disagree if I said that Sandy Olsen at the end of the movie Grease looked sexy and gorgeous! Danny Zuko was head over heels for this girl. With the tight leather pants, shoulder to shoulder shirt, the red heels and the big teased curled hair with of course...the red lipstick to top it all off. For Halloween I'm planning on being Sandy. Finding a Sandy Costume is actually quite easy. They do have outfits at halloween stores but they look pretty cheap and are expensive. I went to Forever 21 and bought leather pants for only 7 dollars! Then a shoulder to shoulder shirt for 5 dollars. CHEAP. I had the red heels and well the hair..thats a different story. It takes a lot of practice to get hair like Sandy. I really don't think there is any way to get her exact hair unless you use fake hair or a wig. I just put rollers in my hair and and hair sprayed and teased it like CRAZY. For make-up just apply some dark black make-up on the eyes and bright red lipstick. Lastly, don't forget the hoop earrings :] If you can try and get your boyfriend or a guy friend to be Danny Zuko. I'm getting my boyfriend to be Danny, I CANT WAIT :] Hope you all have a good halloween!

Joni Johnson Godsy Wildlife Art

http://www.jonijohnsongodsy.com/

I love this artist. She is sooooo talented. I did an essay on her last year of college and I had to paint one of her paintings. It was quite hard. She puts so much detail in her work, so much time and patience. She has traveled everywhere and painting was just one of her hobbies and it turned out to be something she loved and it turned out to be a career. She mainly uses acrylic, which to me is weird. I just don't see acrylic being a good medium. I feel like you can do as much with it but maybe I'm just not as experienced as she is. I prefer oil just because you can mess up and its no big deal, you can do different techniques and i think it just paints easier. It is messy but thats just something every artist going to have to deal with. 

Joni uses her colors quite nicely, with a good amount of cools and warms to balance the paintings.  She went from working at hallmark to just being an animal lover and then starting to paint. She soon quit her job and became a full time painter! How awesome! Plus she has traveled to such beautiful places, what a life, yea? 

Hopefully one day I will be just as good as her :]

Butterfly costume

I cant wait for Halloween, it’s the time to decorate the house, make or buy costumes, get scared, hang out with friends and eat a lot of candy. A lot of people usually just buy their costume, which is fine, but a lot of the costumes seem a little cheap and well…skanky. I’m a sophomore in college and I want to be a butterfly, haha. I am going to make my own butterfly wings. I’m an art major so this is probably a lot more fun for me, unless you enjoy painting. But I am going to decorate my wings however I want. Wear black tights and a black cute top. The going to do EXTRAVIGENT makeup all over my eyes and just go all out. Then I’m going to curl my hair, or re-curl my hair and tease it A LOT. So ill be like an exotic butterfly. It will be cheap, cute, unique, and fun!
