Christmas Photos 2012

I've been using the Christmas season  to brush up on my Spanish and to develop my photography skills. Here are a few photographs I took two days ago at a neighbour's house. I helped her pack cookies and some other sweets for distribution. I also made some dividers/separators for the cups placed in the box pictured in this post. Hope you guys appreciate my work, feel free to comment and have a Merry Christmas. Feliz Navidad todo el mundo!

Ghoulish Goodies Review

Hey everyone!
I'm going to do a review of some items from Ghoulish Goodies HERE (you'll have to friend her). I've had these items for a while and can safely say that they're sturdy. The package came with two hair clips, (Hello Kitty and Betty Boop) and a bracelet (Don't recognize the character on the cap). All items were embellished using decorated bottle caps.
The hair clips in my opinion are purely decorative as the clip at the back doesn't have teeth and therefore does not clamp into place. It can sort of slip out if you are moving around a lot. The bow and bottle cap however are firmly glued into place.
The bracelet, I love. It's beaded with a decorated bottle cap in the centre and secures with a screw cap clasp. E-mail Ghoulish Goodies at ghoulishgoodies@yahoo.com for orders.

Glitz and Glam- Inspired by Tumblr photos.

Hello friends,
This post is a photograph I took today of some costume jewelry. I've been checking out people's tumblr pages and photographs on a site called weheartit.com (Click link) and have fallen in love with the numerous overexposed shots of food, jewelry and just about anything else shiny. Most of the shots look like they were taken using a polarizing filter. Unfortunately, I do not have access to any filters at all so, I just made do with what I have. This was a fun project and I hope you all enjoy looking at the end product. Remember to comment, follow me on Twitter @WaiLiArt and share.
Love,
Wai Li.
