More items made by Tiina from Rogue

Kipeänä ollessani tulin myös kuvailleeksi Tiinan minulle tekemiä enemmän ja vähemmän uusia asusteita. Kaulakorussa on Rogue by Tiina Ulkuniemi logo ja korviksia koristaa kärpäset. Pyysin kustomoidut lukot korviksiin, koska nuo tavallisimmat koukut pääsevät aina tipahtamaan omista korvistani pois.

Necklace and earrings Rogue by Tiina Ulkuniemi. Earrings have customized hoops since the usual ones always pop out of my ears!
I accidentally ran over the chain on my chair after dropping the necklace on the floor, hence the random silver bit on the right... -___-

Tuonne TAFFiinhan Tiina väkerteli silloin erilaisia hatukkeita myyntiin, joten teetätin myös itselleni yhden. Ankh, lepakko, miniruusut ja ketjunpätkä löytyivät omista varastoistani, muu on itse Tiinan käsialaa.

The loveliest little fascinator! ♥ The ankh, bat, silver chain and the smallest roses were from my own stash, otherwise it's all Tiina's handiwork. :)

Uusin Tiinan käsialaa oleva vaatekappaleeni on syksyiseen säähän hyvin soveltuva kevyt hupullinen neule. Kankaan olin ostanut alkuvuoden Tallinnan reissulla ja se olikin sattumalta samaa, kuin mistä Tiina oli jo yhden paidan väkerrellyt. Omaani tuli lisäksi huppu. Kuvissa meikitön flunssanassu sekä uusi Black Milk Clothingin pöllöhame. ♥

Mirrorselfies are cool, right? -Not! ;P I ♥ my owlskirt, even though it rides up high on the waist when I move

TL;DR: Was sick, took pictures. Jewellery & fascinator & hooded blouse made by Tiina, owl skirt is by Black Milk Clothing, Australia.

DIY projects, being sick and why Blogger sucks hairy balls

Foreword: Blogger is being an absolute bitch to me, since I've been working on this one and only post ever since Monday. I had written and saved text on Monday and just needed to add photos. Well, when I went looking for the post I had written - poof, all gone and nowhere to be found. I then checked on it on Tuesday from my work computer - and there it was, just like I'd written it! Saved again so I could finish it at home - not there. -__- Found it again on work computer yesterday, still waiting for pictures, looked like it had been saved normally so I closed the page. Well, I checked it last night at home and it was blank. Nowhere to be found anymore today, only the same blank draft. Super annoyed! -__-#

My new nerd station! \o/ Laptop broke, so I spent most of my overtime money on getting a tabletop and a monitor. :P
Since I'm addicted to makeup (but don't use it nearly as much as I really should), my favourites are always waiting for me to pick them up. ;) And yes, I still need to rearrange the desk...

Lets see if I can remember what I actually wrote about...

Olin sairauslomalla suurimman osan viime viikosta ilkeän pitkittyneen flunssan johdosta. Katselin pääasiassa huonoja komediasarjoja vilttiin kääriytyneenä, mutta aika pian se alkoi kyllästyttää. Koska en kauheasti mitään jaksanut kuitenkaan tehdä, päädyin sitten askartelemaan (-paskartelemaan!). Olen ostanut Fimo-massaa muutamassa eri sävyssä jo ajat sitten, joten päätin ensin värkätä niistä jotain. Noh, en ole kovinkaan hyvä tässä hommassa, joten toistaiseksi olen saanut aikaiseksi vain tämän liian suureksi paisuneen ja epämuodostuneen lepakon täysin ilman yksityiskohtia, sekä Jack Skellington -kasvot, joista ajattelin tehdä hiusklipsut. Inspiraationa kalloille toimi siskoni joskus askartelemat kankaiset samanlaiset naamapallurat. Tuo musta Fimo muuten tarttuu sormiin aika lujaa!

I was on sickleave most of last week because of a flu that just won't leave me alone. I mostly slept and watched bad comedy shows, but got tired of it quite quickly. Since I didn't have a lot of energy, I ended up doing small craft projects. I'd bought the Fimo quite a while ago, so I decided use it all up. Well, I'm not very good at it and so far have only managed to make this (too) large and deformed bat (with no details too!) and two Jack Skellington -faces, that I'll be turning into hairclips. The inspiration for these was a couple of fabric skullballs my sister had once made. The black Fimo really sticks to your fingers!

The deformed bat got slightly bigger than I had planned, I still need more practice (or a really good bat mold!).
Skellington faces are gonna be hairclips. These are still waiting to be baked, I can't be bothered to heat the oven for just these tiny fellows.

Kyllästyttyäni vahalla pelleilyyn muistin tilanneeni kulutetun hopeansävyisiä lepakkomotiiveja. En enää ole varma mihin projektiin nämä alunperin tulin hankkineeksi (ai miten niin hamsteri?!), mutta innostuin kuitenkin heti leikkimään näiden kanssa. Ensimmäisenä yhdistelin lepakkokaverin hopeanväriseen ketjuun ja väsäilin näin tuommoisen hiuskoristeen. En tiedä onko näille joku oikea termi? Oma tukkani oli sen verran likainen, enkä muutenkaan ollut kovin edustava, joten poseeraamaan pääsi herra Kallonen. Silmäkuopissaan Kallonen kantaa keräämiäni (edelleen, hamsteri...) erikoisia kahden euron kolikoita. Lepakko tulee siis lepäämään otsalle ja ketju kulkee pään yli takaraivolle, jossa yhdistyy ohimoilta kulkevaan ketjuun. Tätä täytyy ehkä vielä vähän säätää, en ole varma mitkä mittasuhteen olisivat parhaimmat kyseiseen kapistukseen.

After I got tired of playing with the Fimo I remembered I had these nice antique silver bat charms. I can't remember why I originally got them (other than they're super adorable?), but I got instantly inspired. First I added a bat charm to some old silver chain I had and made this headpiece. Is there a correct term for this? My own hair was dirty and I didn't exactly look presentaby, so Mr. Skully got to pose for this one. In the eye sockets I have stored cool/interesting 2-euro coins (I might be a hoarder)- The bat sits on your forehead and the chain goes over your head and connects to another one going over the temples. I may need to adjust the chains a little bit more, since I'm not sure what measurements would be best for this one.

Toisena projektina päätin yhdistellä lepakoita pehmoiseen softikseen, jota kätköistäni löytyi tällä hetkellä kolmessä eri värissä. Valkoiselta pohjalta hopeiset lepakot eivät näyttäneet erottuvan kovinkaan hyvin, joten kokeilin ensimmäisenä glitterpinkkiä. Näistä tuli varsin somat, joten tein myös yhdet mustat versiot, joihin lisäsin pätkän hopeista ketjua. Koska tiedän Ravenoariksen olevan myös lepakkohullu, päätin inspiraation puuskassa tehdä vielä yhdet hänelle, näihin tuli myös ketjua kaveriksi. Täytyisi löytää violettia tuommoista glitterfoamia vielä jostain, nämä pinkit eivät oikein mene yks-yhteen tällä hetkellä sinimustaksi muuttuneen vaatekaappini sisällön kanssa... ;P

For the second bat project I thought to combine the bats with soft foam that I had in three different colours. The bats didn't stand out from a white base very well, so I tried them with glittery pink foam first. These turned out really cute, so I made another pair in black as well and added a piece of the silver chain. Since I know Ravenoaris is also a crazy batlady, I decided to make a pair for her as well! I need to find more colours eg. purple glitter foam, since the pink ones don't really match my black and blue wardrobe... ;)

Glitter bats! Ooh and these are hairclips, btw. Everything is hair clips!

Tools, supplies and finished items. Yay! I don't know what I'm doing with the handcuffs yet, I just happened to have a tiny bag full of them and thought I'd see if I can put them to use.  :)

Ja koska ihana synkiöiden lempparijuhla Halloween on lähestymässä, tulin hankkineeksi myös creepyjä silmiä askartelua varten. Oikeasti nämä ovat ihan nuken silmiksi tarkoitettuja, mutta ajattelin värkätä myös näistä jotain tukkahärpäkettä. :)

And since every ghoul's favourite holiday Halloween is approaching, I got some creepy eyes for crafts. In reality these are meant to be doll eyes, but I thought I'd make something else out of them.

Fistfull of dollars eyeballs

Hopefully blogger will play along from now on, since I already have pics ready for another post!

TL;DR: Blogger is a bitch and loses text despite saving. Was sick at home and got crafty (pics, stuff used bought mainly from ebay). Waiting for Halloween, yay.

Some days are better than others

I had a little bit of a meltdown this weekend related to depression. Photo and text about it can be found on my Instagram. Basically: I haven't been taking my medication or care of myself in daily routines such as brushing my teeth or keeping my kitchen/fridge clean. I can't give you a reason as to why I'm doing this to myself, I just feel really tired and that it doesn't matter what I do. Yes, things are good: I have a secure job for the next year, I have an absolutely amazing boyfriend, I just got a new computer + screen, I bought nice new clothes, I've been seeing my friends, I've visited my parents... But that's what depression is, it's this monster on your back that makes you constantly doubt your selfworth and creeps up on you even when you wouldn't expect it to. It's a chemical imbalance, it's all those mean words and deeds from when I was just a child, it's my sister's untimely death, it's the sum of too many things.

I've lost my gorillapod, so all my pics nowadays are mirror selfies... -__-

But I'm trying. Because we all have our own demons to fight. Because of the good days. Because of the love I feel for all the important people in my life. Because there is so much beauty and good in the world, no matter how shitty things may seem. Because of the little things that make life worth living.

So I pick myself up. Today I booked three doctor's appointments (sadly, just a doctor instead of The Doctor) to help me figure out why I'm constantly sick and to see if my antidepressants need to be adjusted or if I need to go talk to someone. I've started brushing my teeth again, since stinky cat breath really isn't sexy, and I'm trying to get well enough to start exercising again. Giving up is just not an option.
 But I'm babbling again. Since I spent most of Friday evening/night battling with a migraine, Mr. J and I didn't do anything fun. These pics are from Saturday, when we decided to finally go see Guardians of the Galaxy. I've had that damn song playing in my head ever since... "I can't stop this feeling deep inside of me..."

Got sick of battling with hairdyes and just decided to go back to black. I miss the blue, but my hair always looks best black.

Movies and sushi

Pupuhyppy and I decided to have a sushiparty with movies and that happened last Saturday of August. We invited a few friends (all of whom couldn't make it) and assigned for everyone to bring some ingredients. Potluck sushi! o/ Everyone got to make their own rolls with whatever they wanted and in the end we made way too much... Mr. J was booked by a whole-weekend lan party hosted by his friends, so he couldn't make it this time.

Sipulimies, Tinde and TomVi making sushi

The movies we watched were The Purge, Afflicted and Machete Kills.

Ravenoaris and Tinde on the background, Pupuhyppy with her orange hair on the front and the black blob aka TomVi washing his hands.

First one told quite a predictable tale from the near future, where once a year ALL crimes are legal for 12 hours. If left me wanting a little bit more than just your basic greed-murder-blah -crap, there's a lot of things that could go down in a scenario like this, with all sorts of hidden agendas.

Some of the ingredients

Afflicted started out really slow and then got weird. There were some cool spook effects, but not fully convinced with this one either. I can't even remember how it ended?

My humongous pile of food. Used fish, canned tuna, paprika, avocado etc on these, ended up eating only a small portion since I was full of Dr. Pepper that I drank a whole freaking bottle cuz I was so thirsty...

And Machete, what can I say about that? Mr. J and I went to see this one last October when it came out and I have to say, it's still as hilarious as it was the first time! It's so much more ridiculous than the first one was and I seriously hope they won't actually make the third one... Although I'd totally go see that one as well! :D

We had a very nice night just goofing off, munching on food and snacks and questioning some of the logic (Logic? In movies? Inconcievable! ;P) from the movies. Need to do this again, only with tacos/tortillas the next time! :)

Not sure if anyone else took any pictures, but my outfit for the evening was very relaxed.
