[vilexnerve.livejournal.com]

I'm new here so I hope my post is ok. I read all the info first, sorry in advance if I do something wrong!
 

it seems like everyone is making clay charms and I decided to try it because it seemed like fun. it is! I made some that look like kitty cupcakes :)
I know they're kindof trendy but I think they're cute nonetheless! made them with sculpey clay and then painted them with acrylic paints. they aren't completely finished, I need to touch them up and fix some things and add glaze, but here's the idea: 
 

 

they're handmade and I think they are a little over an inch tall. what do you think? any comments/critique is appreciated! but remember they aren't completely done, I know some parts are rough and need to be painted over :)

Knitted hat

( Just one solitary photo :) )

Hi, I'm a first time poster! I'm 19 and I've known how to knit for quite awhile now, around six years, but I recently fell in love with it again, roughly two months ago. This is a hat I found on Ravelry (called 'Quincy') that uses a bunch of techniques I haven't really tampered with - a provisional cast-on, built in i-cords, grafting (using kitchener.. that was a bit rough), but I think it turned out alright!

It was a fun, fast knit, and super gratifying. I'm in the process of making a second Quincy in grey-green :). If anyone has any constructive criticism that'd be great, and I'll leave the link to my ravelry in case you're curious to the other hats I've made :)

Bergamot & Oatmeal Face Mask

[drusillacrowley.livejournal.com]

This face mask soothes the skin whilst thorougly cleansing it, it also has anti-bacterial qualities.

Ingredients:

• One handful of rolled oats
  (helps soothes sensitive and irritated skin whilst moisturizing with amino acids)


• Five to eight drops of Bergamot oil
  (known for its antidepressant, antiseptic, antibiotic, anti-spasmodic, calmative, deodorant, therapeutic properties)


• Boiled warm water
  (boiling water helps get rid of any unwanted bacteria and makes it easier to combine the ingredients)

1. Grind the rolled oats in a mortar and pestle or a coffee grinder to achieve a finer powder.


2. Slowly add warm boiled water (the warm water helps open your pores to cleanse your skin) and mix until you have a thick paste (the sort you can form peaks in when you take out your mixing utensil).


3. Add 5-8 drops of Bergamot oil to the paste and mix in.


4. Apply to face and wait 15 minutes. You should feel a soft cooling sensation as it sets.


5. Wash with warm water.

Try it out and tell me what you think :)
