Taggy McTaggerson

So, whilst I was away, Kiki tagged me for Cassie's Therapy Video which is an extremely interesting blog tag hosted by Erimentha of The Little Blog of Happiness.

The annoying thing is, I couldn't access the video... (Here is the link that I was given, apparently it has been 'blocked in my country' for some reason or another) so I kinda just had to guess what it was about :)

From What I understand, you have to fill in 12 likes, one love and 8 hates, link back to Erimentha and pass it on to three other people. Oh and you must include the bolded things :)

Also, I thought I'd make mine a little more interesting by infusing it with some amazing artwork by Mark Ryden (more about that later :p )

Abracadabra, Wow!
I like boys with winklepickers and girls with winklepickers.

I like food.

I like busy weekends.

I like watching loads of movies back to back.

I like contradicting myself.

I like discovering an amazing cultish band and feeling really clever.
I like having a dorky English accent
because I like being able to say, 'cheers,' 'ta,' 'cripes,' 'top of the morning' and 'cheerio,' without sounding like a COMPLETE freak.

I like llamas.

I like thrifting.

I like your face.

I like most things, really.

I love SLEEPING.

Today I am going to charge my ipod. I must not. Forget. To charge. My ipod.

In some ways, I love everything.
Its less, its less of a thing to like, its less distinct, its less particular.
I like things that I like but I love everything.
There’s more choice in like cos even the worst things have things you love in them.
I don’t know what you mean about things I hate.

I hate when the bottom of your foot is itchy (grr.)

I hate having my photo taken (hah, how hypocritical does that sound! I don't mind seeing photos turn out good, but I hate the process of taking them. It's kinda awkward and false...)

I hate taking my own photos, because I feel vain and scene.

I hate clothes decorated with shitloads of hearts.

I hate broccoli.

I hate fighting. *halo appears*

I hate myspace.

I hate ....honestly I can't think of anything else. I didn't sleep enough last night.

I hate this, wow...

Sorry.

I. Heart. Cassie.

Sorry if my life is incredibly boring. Now I just have to pass it on to...

Fashion Narcotics because it is a new blog and deserves some recognition :)

Tegan on Toast because it seems like the kinda thing she would be good at

High Voltage because it's an awesome blog and hasn't gotten any awards in too long :)

The paintings are by Mark Ryden, an amazing artist who I stumbled upon a few weeks ago. If you liked them, check out his website. There's tons more fantastic stuff in there which would have made this post way too long :)

Solange Azagury-Partridge

My mom was atually the first person to tell me about Solange, she has an eye for quirky jewellery. Every piece is just so clever and really inspirational... And she has a collection called 'random.' (Ah, randomness....) If you're like me and have had a stressful week which has been divided between homework and searching (in vain) for typewriter ink then it's probably about time to look at some interesting jewellery.

Anyways, I wanted to pick out my favourte piece.
......
narrowed it down to the top ten :]

ONE

the 'Real Fakes.' Reminiscent of my red diamond necklace, no? Perhaps it's the monarch if the real-fake diamond community :]

TWO

The 'Hearts of Gold.'

THREE'Bacchus'

FOUR

'Big Fringe' go on the website and see the fringe pieces moving :]

FIVE
'Mirror Box'

SIX

'Union Jack.' This is a contender for absolute favourite. I'm a sucker for Union Jacks :)

SEVEN

'Mardi's animals' I love the bee :]

EIGHT

'Hotlips' These are some of her most famous and super gorgeous... I love all the different colours.

NINE

'Mercury'

TEN

'Cherry Stones'

Not only this, but she might just have the most amazingly artsy website I have ever seen. There are loads of little animations and you can actually see the jewellery in motion, cause it is full of hinges and tassles and trapdoors and teeny marvellous detailish things! Have a look :]

And her catalogue is pretty cool too... it's a proper hard-back book!!! :o (I'm guessing I'm the only one who's mind is blown by that....)

Losers get More out of Life than Pretty People

London Eye

animal heads....look how it sits on the hand in that incredibly canine way :)

Wow, those wings....

'bird bones.'

these are inspired by New York skylines~

one of my favourite titles :p like?

Anyway, the pictures are from Jessica McCormack, one of my favourite jewellery designers. (I admit I have a slight obsession with edgy and overpriced jewellery!) All of the pieces seem to be stories or characters, true works of art :)

But I'm not in a particularly wordy mood today, which is why I cushioned it with all the pictures :p believe me, they look a lot better on the website.

She even has a blog (:D) of her inspirations. Fascinating! This is one of my favourite pictures:

And she does some amazing sketches and watercolours.
find them in her blog.
