Hello, hello, hello! It's time I begin updating this bad boy again since theres a huge link to the blog from my shiny new website! (<a href="http://cutenotkawaii.com/">CuteNotKawaii.com</a>) So, the plan here is to expand upon Instragram updates with more photos and details. For instance, I'll be posting all the photos that go regularly unused from the popular #Pretendsday posts. the only way blogging is going to happen is if I keep to a schedule, so we'll see how this goes...</div>

Plastics.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My Father has been an enormous influence on the current state of my creating career. He is an engineer and leader in the field of plastics. He has designed and built machines that mix, pump and spray and variety of resins, plastics, rubbers, and ceramics. As a result plastics have always been a part of my life. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I got into making jewelry there was immediately attraction to the simplicity of Epoxy to create unique pieces. Like most hobbyists I was pouring the resin in a premade bezel to encase artwork or objects, and while the results were promising, I quickly became bored with the lack of a WOW factor. The tiny paintings covered in a glass like seal just didn't do much for me. They just weren't unique. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fast forward a few years and my jewelry portfolio had significantly expanded. The pieces I was producing were selling and gracing Charlotte runways shows, but never really satisfied me. I felt like I was trying to be someone else and that my designs said nothing about me. They looked pretty good, but felt very hollow. I was beginning to think I had lost my passion and that jewelry was just another crafting hobby that I would slowly abandon. Depression was also setting in pretty hard, due to some shit going in my professional and personal life. Designing was a burden, and a chore like doing laundry.</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then, I made something <i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">silly</span></span></i>.

This stupid ice cream bracelet changed my life. How ridiculous is that? Made for a charm project at work it reminded me that not everything had to be so serious all the time!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ice cream charms lead to sketching all sorts of designs centering around sweets. I began to realize that locating all the materials needed to make these crazy new designs would not only be a near impossibility, it would be immensely expensive. The concept of making my own components became extremely attractive, and the sculpting of prototypes began. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Polymer charm artists deserve SO much respect, as they repeatedly create the same shape with remarkably similar results, and hold up quite well. My sculpts were far too brittle to wear, and took way too long to turn a profit. I also found polymer clay to be extremely limiting as a medium. My thoughts returned again to resin, and what I could make that look like as well as it's durability. The world of custom toys, that i had log been attracted to, became another huge source of inspiration both for encouragement to think out of the box, and for picking up techniques. Sketching turned to experiments, and led to classes. I began to wrangle supplies and experiments eventually led to success. Simultaneously, I was learning more and more about the Plastic arts and Novelty Brooch scene that seems to have gotten much of its start in Australia. I realized that not only was there a demand for the type of product I was creating, but that my work was solid, and some of the best looking designs I'd ever created. All this because I had stopped trying to design for the masses, and instead, I just designed for me. I had stopped designing to sell for a while, and focused on redefining my personal aesthetic. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At this time I spent a weekend with my best friends at Dragon Con. I walked the dealer room and then the Artist Alleys, and really felt a bit underwhelmed. Yes, there was BRILLIANTLY beautiful artwork there, but not much if you weren't looking for something to frame. As far as jewelry goes, what little there was only really appealed to a fantasy audience. I realized (with the help of a few very important ladies) that my new project fit the market here and filled niche that had been mostly ignored. And with my past experience with selling at conventions, I knew this was something I could handle. I set my sights on Dragon Con, and put on my blinders. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been building a following on IG I decided to use it as both an excuse to play dress up, and a marketing tool. Every Wednesday I build an outfit based off a character from Pop Culture. My favorites are usually cartoons, but I've pulled from all mediums. I frequently use a costume as an excuse to sculpt something new, and It helps me build stock as well as stay motivated. Everyday Cosplay (casual or closet cosplay, also referred to as Bounding) allows me to tap into skills I rarely get you use, and It challenges me to constantly create new looks. Believe it or not, I actually buy less clothes now, and do more alterations on things I already own. Most importantly is it has helped me build the confidence and inspiration to continue with my craft. </div>

<i> "Iron Man. That's kind of catchy. It's got a nice ring to it. I mean it's
not technically accurate. The suit's a gold titanium alloy, but it's
kind of provocative, the imagery anyway." -Tony Stark</i><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
My final #Nerdvember outfit is the genius, billionaire, playboy philanthropist, Tony Stark, specifically in his Iron Man suit! This dress with the goldenrod tights are about the perfect color combination (though I could, just as easily, been a Gryffindor.) I have lamented on more than one occasion that I don't own an arc reactor brooch, so I may have to remedy that some day but this vintage gold Trifari one played that role job for today.</div>

Mostly this was to get some fabulists photos of my Jason Voorhees inspired outfit. I saved my Mr. Voorhees brooch for just such an occasion. I figure when I get a real website going, these can be used as publicity shots for my new handmade novelty brooches. I love my little Jason and his stupid eats!</div>

Anyway, John was kind enough to patiently snap while I danced in between the trees covered in fake blood. Pitter, patter, splatter. It's the small ones you have to watch out for. </div>

So Summerween Mabel is 100% purchased. I (hopefully) have all the supplies needed to make this ridiculous outfit happen. Now I just have an immense amount of work to do, and not a lot of time in which to do it. WHY DO I ALWAYS WAIT SO LONG??!!!</div>

(Also Dragon Con Prep)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hello world. Trying to get back on the blogging track. I figured what better to do so with than reporting on my current projects! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dragon Con is swiftly approaching. Like, really swiftly. I leave next Thursday night. Do I have all my costumes done yet? Hell no, I do not. This year I will be keeping it simple, quick, light, and most importantly, affordable. I'm completely obsessed with the Disney show Gravity Falls. </div>

And then there's the main characters, Dipper and Mabel. 12 year old mystery solving twins. Dipper is actually a well rounded, interesting character and I like him quite a bit. I would probably watch the show if he was an only child. But then, there is Mabel. </span></div>

I'm trying really hard to make that dream a reality. Or, at least I want to cosplay her at every opportunity. Two years ago at my first Dragon Con, I donned a sweater in August in Atlanta. My super awesome sister happens to also love the show, and quite likes Mabel's brother, Dipper. We are pictured above being completely adorable together. So cute.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So it's time again for the Wonder Twin powers to activate! Form of jar or Peanut Butter! Shape of Jar or Jelly! No really. This is happening. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have all of my materials together and I've come in at under $20 for the supplies. So yeah, I am hitting Dragon Con, one of the most prominent costume conventions in the country dressed as a 12 year old, dressed as a jar of jelly. I'm hella excited. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stsy tuned for more exciting costuming news.</div>

I worked the second half of the day today, and man was it tough to convince my body that leaving the house was a good idea. It was about 40 degrees and viciously pouring rain all day. The kind of day where you just don't want to get from under your covers, but pile on more blankets and catch up on some reading. Although my evil enchanted bed soothingly sang her siren song I pulled apart the sheets and managed some productivity. But not until after a large mug of vanilla tea with honey and almond milk.Or two. :)<br />
I managed a few prototype pieces that will be making their debut at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Beadlush/109971285738233" target="_blank">Beadlush</a> this weekend, though I think there are a few things I would like to change about the ones that will inevitably end up on my<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/corvidaejewelry" target="_blank"> Corvidae Page</a>. I think I'm going to do a more flexible chain for the little galaxy necklaces. I just feel like the stiffer chain looks much better on longer pieces. I may end up with different lockets because I can get get them more consistently, but overall I'm pretty pleased. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
With the Carrie remake being released just in time for Halloween (and me having all the necessities on hand) I decided it would be kinda fun. Since Halloween fell on a work day this year I opted against an accurate costume (you know the really easy one wear you just wear a long beige slip and dump blood all over you) and decided to go for a more stylized or glam Carrie. I still wanted copious amounts of blood, but I just didn't feel like being cold and sticky all damn day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

After the dress, I decided the most important thing for a glamorous Carrie costume would be a dripping blood necklace. It's comprised of basically every red bead I had on hand. I used Czech glass for the bulk of it but there is a significant amount of crystal, pearls, and some vintage German drops. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The make up was super easy to put on and a bitch to get off. The base is a clown pink with cheap bright red over the top. I filled in the darker color from a wound fx set and lightened my eyebrows. For a subtle finishing touch I used red polish to create a drippy mani that I liked so much I may do it more often. And for the dress I took an entirely unworn (possible) bridesmaid dress out of my "to sell" pile and went to town on it. I used a blend of acrylic paint and water to alternately paint and dribble color down the front. I could have stopped there but I felt like I need some sparkle. I traced all the major dribble lines down with red glitter glue, and with my trusty E600 affixed every sparkly red drop or rhinestone I had on hand. I'm rather pleased with the result though I may add more in the future because let's face it, when it comes to sparkly blood, more is more. I love that this dress is something I'm sure to break back out for upcoming events. If I don't finish everything for Dragon Con then Carrie may make an appearance there, and I for see this dress being worn with full Zombie makeup because I have needed an undead prom queen costume in my life for far too long. Poor dress. You are going to get so much more wear now that I've destroyed you.</div>

Year two for this tradition, Jennifer, myself, and our two Johns went out for Halloween Chinese food, and screwed around in the parking lot afterword. She is dressed as Harley Quinn, and I was having major wig jealousy. That thing was lovely. Isn't she just the cutest? So we fooled around for as long as the boys would put up with, and headed home. Both of us had work in the morning, and lots of makeup to scrub off. My bathtub is still full of red glitter. </div>

Even though this year was a pretty light one (for me anyway) costume wise, I still had a great deal of fun just screwing around with my friends. For the first time in 2 years I went out on the Saturday before halloween. The night all the drunk 20-something's celebrate. Brittany (who rarely ends up on my blog costume-less), my sister, I decided this year we were going out with the masses. We ended up at the Music Factory for a rather large, loud event. It was so loud and distracting that I failed to take even one single photo. Ah, well. We crowd watched, took in the costumes, and had 1 beer. We are party animals. A bit after midnight the decision was made to head uptown and grab a bite to eat. Fed and watered exhaustion was settling in, bit we couldn't go home without some photos! This church front was nicely lit, so the three of us goofed around and snapped some lousy photos. </div>

The leaves are just starting to really get their Fall on around these parts. I visited Asheville, NC just a few weeks ago and it was weeks ahead of us. The tops of the trees there were ablaze with the seasonal changes, and I found myself really wanting our trees to get with the program. When we snapped these photos some of the summers last flowers we just blooming, and I couldn't resist posing in front of all that pretty purple. I hoped it would accentuate the burgundy hue<a href="http://www.ilovebrains.com/stylists.html" target="_blank"> Tony</a> had added to my hair that morning (along with temporary cute crimps). I love showing off his handiwork whenever I get a chance.</div>

I don't really do movie reviews here, but with Halloween around the corner I thought it might be a fun <strike>filler post that doesn't require any real work </strike>change of pace. As I mentioned in my last post, I've been having sort of a rough time right now. As a well adjusted adult, I tend to bury my problems in a deep hole of denial and movies. Some of my very favorite are horror flicks. I adore slimy creatures, zombies, gore, violence, and the frequent ridiculous situations that arise in some of the less serious fare. Now don't get me wrong, I really get excited by a true, unique (well as unique as horror gets) movie that has a great deal of care and effort put in, but that doesn't mean I don't crave some terrible brain candy from time to time. For that reason, I will occasionally watch something with terrifically bad reviews, just to see if everyone missed the point, or at least missed the chance to laugh. "Parasitic" was one such a movie. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1704201/?ref_=nv_sr_1" target="_blank">It boasts a whopping 2.1 on IMDB</a>, a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes, and some of the worst reviews I had come across in some time. The premise however seemed terribly intriguing, or at least terrible and intriguing. As it turns out, the majority was absolutely right on with this one. This movie was such a perfect storm of bad acting, terrible writing, and the director knowing just enough to get himself in trouble. If he (Tim Martin) hadn't been trying so hard to control everything here,(written,directed, and effects by) perhaps he could have stepped back and turned a critical eye on his masterpiece. From what I can tell Tim made this as a way to showcase his fairly impressive practical effect skills. However, this could have been achieved better by almost any other means rather than to release<i> THIS.</i> </div>

I really try to find the positive in stuff but there was slim pickins here. Let's break down the problems. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Terrible sound quality, no lighting, and bad directing. Abysmal acting. Some of the worst I've ever seen. One reviewer I read said that they made him appreciate regular bad acting and I couldn't agree more. That being said, they could have had Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Helen Miran, and Don Cheadle, acting their asses off, and this script would have made them look awful. The premise was weak, even for a virus, parasite, zombie, stripper movie. SPOILER ALERT. I'm just going to spoil the whole damn flick here. You'll thank me. Bitchy goth stripper stereotype orders sushi. Sushi (which is green) is full of parasite. Bitch eats parasite. She gets sick and removes her bra (which I wouldn't think was that unreasonable if it weren't for the rampant misogyny throughout. I mean barfing in an underwire can be awful) Things grow out of her. She turns Zombie and begins to share her affliction with her equally quality human coworkers that she has trapped in the night club with her. For stupid reasons. She has that only key. She locks in her coworkers and none of them have friggin cell phones. Also the windows are barred in case the idea to bust one out crossed your mind. Useless crap happens, people die, people turn, guy commits suicide with a bic lighter, and then these absolutely beautiful practical creatures grace the screen for maybe a combined 1min, 30 seconds. The main monster at the end is huge, scary, and beautifully crafted, but only on screen for the last ,poorly lit, 30 seconds. Watch the movie on Netfilx, but ONLY the last 30 seconds. It will (almost ) spare you the experience of the rest of the movie, but you will get to see Tim's do what he does best. And in all fairness, he does it well. Just don't quit your day job Timmy.</div>

I'm sorry to have been away for so long, as well as so sporadic in my
posts over that past year or so. I desperately wish to make more of this
blog and to become more committed here, but I've been having a
seriously rough time in the recent past. I do what I can to keep things
light and professional in the blogosphere, but sometimes shit gets kinda tough and makes it hard to
want to pretend. I work in customer service all day so it's exhausting
when the day has ground me down to nothing to come home and write a
perky story to please readers. I feel like I have to always deliver a
wittily written, beautifully photographed post or no one will care.
Perhaps need to learn just to be a bit more honest. Perhaps this can be a
place for me to unload some of the weight I carry around, even if I
don't get too specific. Sometimes you just need to spend a few days (at a
time) watching horror movies on Netflix. I think you guys can probably
understand that.</div>

Have you herd of <a href="https://www.gishwhes.com/index.php" target="_blank">Gishwhes</a>? That stands for the Greatest International Scavenger Hunt the Worrld Has Ever Seen.Started by Misha Collins (of Supernatural fame) it has run for two years. Last year it shattered two Guinness World Records: one for the largest
scavenger hunt ever, with more than 14,000 participants from 69
countries and the second, for the most pledges to commit a Random Act of
Kindness (over 93,000 in 94 countries!).<br />
People register are assigned to teams of 15 (they
can also assemble their own teams). They then wait patiently for the
hunt to begin.Once the "List" is posted the event commences and there is one week to complete as many tasks as the team can. We had a two part team consisting of the (east coast) Aataleptics (us) and the mid west folk, the Hufflepuffs. We split as much of the list as possible (which is hundreds of items long BTW) and frankly, pulled off quite a number of them. This post shares some of the items that we managed last year. </div>

We had a positively MAD experience. It was a completely unforgettable experience, and one that I have signed myself up for yet again. In 2 days and 19 hours, the shenanigans begin. Keep us in your thoughts as we dedicate all of our spare time to making complete fools of ourselves in public.</div>

I kind of enjoy rushing to get photos. Sometimes the added energy brings a little bit more to the shoot. Today was not really one of those days. John and I are trying to work out some problems we have when shooting. Mostly, that I'm a huge control freak and want to see the photos every ten shots so I can correct what I don't care for, and he just wants me to stand still for godsake. He says it's like shooting a wild animal. Anyway it's been had to get photos here, because if I have the time, and he has the time, it's been pouring rain. POURING. The minuet I have to be somewhere, or he takes a nap, sunshine. it's driving me bonkers. So we snapped these after lunch the other day in a 25 minuet window of sunshine. Seriously, it was pouring 15 minuets later. At least all the rain has been good for the plants. All I know is I need some rain boots in my life. </div>

When I was a kid I LOVED the 4th of July. I'm not always the most patriotic person. (I'm especially mad about some of the current goings on in our local government. Get it together NC) but I love the idea that our county was built upon. Also the 4th was a holiday that always meant time with Dad, and explosions. Usually at the same time. Dad would get his hands on a mini display of (il)legal fireworks, and we'd hang out in the back yard as he set them off. He'd set off the bottle rockets, roman candles, fire crackers, ans single shot mortars, all while Mom scolded us from the kitchen. Then we'd pull out the fountains and sparklers and Mom would come out and join us. All four of us would twirl around with tiny showers of star emitting from the wands in out hands. Sparklers never fail to make me smile. They are just a simple, nostalgic reminder of what it felt like to be tiny me.</div>

If you were thinking that this outfit looks just a bit springy, you would be 100% correct.You are looking at my St. Patrick's day garb. Yeah, that's right. March 17th. I have had these guys stuck in Lightroom unable to post them for months. I have no idea what went wrong, but when I loaded the photos into my computer initially, I somehow missed half of the file. I still lost about 1/2 of the photos, but managed to re-upload these. Yay! So you guys don't have to miss out on my kindergarten teacher cardigan after all. Let's see if I can remember what we did that day...<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
We met in Plaza Midwood to move a table into the new building for work. Then we hit Common Market for a few beers. The rest of the day gets pretty fuzzy for some reason. I guess if you can remember all of St. Pat's you weren't really celebrating.</div>

We are gearing up to celebrate July 4th this Thursday. Hopefully I'll be able to snag some obligatory sparkler shots. And who knows, maybe I'll even get those photos posted before Halloween.</div>

So at about 5:20 today I was researching the Charlotte blogging scene for a project at work when I came across<a href="http://www.thecharlottesocial.com/p/about.html" target="_blank"> The Charlotte Social</a>. This was exactly what i was looking for! A blogging group that links Charlotte bloggers and the social media savvy to each other and to local businesses. Now that I had found them I just had to attend the next event, which turned out to start 40 minuets later! Lydia (Boss) was kind enough to let me scoot off a bit early to catch up with this lovely group. We met at<a href="http://www.nodabrewing.com/" target="_blank"> NoDa Brewing Co</a>, had a few beers (well I had one. I'm a LIGHTWEIGHT), enjoyed some delicious tacos from <a href="http://www.thetintruck.com/" target="_blank">the Tin Kitchen truck</a>, and were, ya know, social. Or, I tried to be. I basically tripped all over myself for about 10 min before getting quiet and fumbling with my phone. After getting my beer (NoDahito) and my taco (potato and honey encrusted Halibut) I relaxed a good bit. I met some sweet ladies that I hope to see again and am quite excited about cross promotion possibilities.</div>

I'm finding Myself completely obsessed with yet another pair of Seychelles. This time its the <a href="http://seychellesfootwear.com/Home.tpl?page=singleitem.inc&cart=130612708616&sku=turning9ss&H_P_Special=turning%20point#" target="_blank">"Turning Point" heel. </a>One part sandal, one part low heel, total perfection. While I have a deep and abiding need for all of the colors, most likely I will break down and purchase myself a pair in green. I just feel like my summer won't be complete with out them. I' m probably being a bit overdramatic. Probably.</div>

I am a HUGE Fan of <a href="http://www.republicoftea.com/Honey-Ginseng-Green-Tea/p/V00647/" target="_blank">The Republic of Tea's Honey Ginseng Green</a>. It's smooth and sweet on its own, even for a sugar fiend like me. I discovered it about 7 years ago working in the Books a Million cafe where we carried it. while the other Republic of tea blends are quite nice, none of them were ones that I felt the need to continue to purchase post employee discount. Unlike most green teas I find it allows for a few extra minuets of steeping (which works well for me as I frequently forget when I have a cup brewing) and doesn't immediately go bitter. If you would like to give it a try, and I highly recommend you do, without the full tin commitment, most Panera Bread shops (at least in Charlotte) carry it as a hot tea option. </div>
