Adopt A Totoro.

I'm a terrible hoarder.

 I've been keeping this guy in the drawer

and he hasn't seen the light of day.

Not cause I don't like him,

I just tend to wear the same few pieces

over and over again.

Time to give this Chibi Totoro

to a good home.

Say

Mummy, can we get the Chibi,

please please pleeease??

and Bag It!

Don't forget the puppy dog eyes.
  

Dead Breath.

Deadlines.

Dead blog.

Dead tired.

Dead bunny, anyone?

Inspired by this YouTube video

Kat sent me last week.

Awakens violent tendencies

to squeeze the eyeballs outta those fur balls.

Scream a bloodthirsty

Bye-bye Bunny!!!!!!

and Bag This Bead!
 

I Sent You A Stinker.

Dear Aneesah and Taka,

Finally, some breathing space!

 Sorry for the delay in the post department.

It's been hard to find time to work on Bead Breath.

  

I finally got around to packing Ele and Octopaul.

Here they are, snug as bugs.

  

I was really paranoid they'd get destroyed in the mail

so I put them in hard plastic boxes,

and padded the insides with

bubble wrap, foam, and tissue.

 

Yes, the ribbons serve a functional purpose too.

They keep the boxes shut tight!

 

I'm just really worried I'll end up sending Ele to Austria

and Octopaul to Canterbury instead!

Fingers crossed I got it right.

I only checked about 1,679 times.
 

See Ya Later, Ele!

Auf Wiedersehen, Paul!

 

Snap Happy.

I'm mad in love with polaroid cameras
but could never have one because the film
was too expensive.
 
Glad to see old-school cameras making a comeback!
Hopefully, I'll get my grubby hands on an instant cam soon.

Have included a tiny hole in this design
so you can peep through the viewfinder!


 
This design is based on the lovely Holga.
Entirely plastic. And stunning in red.

Also check out the awesome 3D version!

Yeah my Holga's 3D too.
Well the lens is anyway, hehe.

Have a Holga!
Say
Snap!
Oh crap!
I blinked!
first
and Bag This Bead!

What other lomography-inspired cameras
would you like to see?

Octopaul.

Check out the Wikipedia article on Paul the Octopus.

It's hilarious! Includes his illustrious

career, retirement and legacy.

 May his talented tentacles
never cease to amaze!

And they shan't!
If he makes any of these
grrreat career moves:

 

Paul the Octopurse.
He is, after all, the best bet
for your money.

Paul the Moptopus.
Leaves your floor predictably clean
every time!

Paul the Porktopus.

Posing as a pig strangely and greatly
increases his odds of survival,
what with all the death threats
and octopus recipes floating about.

Bid for Paul!
Say this as fast as you can:

Paul Pizza

Paul Pasta

Paul Paella

Paul Pork Pie 

Paul Porridge

Paul Popcorn

Paul Pudding

Paul Pancakes

Paul Papadom

And Bag This Bead!

Extra points if you can cook up

more P-P-Paul recipes!

Germany Gives it to Argentina in the Butt.

Slaughter on the World Cup Safari. 
4-0, woot!

Germany's incredible gameplay

made Argentina look

clumsy, slow,

and rather blue.

Germany is so owning right now,
they should call it
Ze Vorld Cup.

On a side note.
Bag a Bead is back!
Anybody want an Ele?

Say it loud and say it first:
Preeeet!
This Ele belongs to me!
  

Accidentally in Love.

Something to help you
Bead the Blues
this Monday morning.

This design is up for grabs!

Accidentally made these lovebirds

while trying to make a grumpy blue bird.

Put this on a short chain with a snap clasp.

Must confess I've worn it a couple of times
to test the strength of the design -
and it's all good!

Get in Line! It's Mine!
