You know how it is, you start out posting one little-ish thing, you find a bunch of little-ish things, and pretty soon you're a traffic cone away from a really wild party. So here's a quick round-up. (Okay, the real story is I had wicked insomnia last night, was up...
Slightly more leeway color-wise…but not a whole lot. I had to improvise more than a bit for “five gold rings” and add in two other colors that, really, had little to do with gold (except as a contour color [brown] and as another traditionally “rich”/“royal” color [purple].) Part...
Most of us learned this line as “four calling birds” - but the words are actually “colly birds”, which is “blackbirds”. Which is not exactly an inspiring color-theme. Part of the One Year Eyecolor Challenge (new colors used: 3)
...or is it “three red hens”? I originally learned “French hens”, but lyrics on the web have both versions. (Then again, since I couldn't find any uniform pictures or descriptions of “French hens”, I went with “red hens” for color-choices.) Part of the One Year Eyecolor Challenge (new colors used: 3)
Second day of the 12 Days of Christmas, and I'm not feeling well. Something I ate last night does not like me very much (and honestly, at this point, the feeling's pretty mutual.) This theme/look was fairly monochromatic to begin with, because even the more colorful turtledoves are colored more...
Never mind what retailers might have folks believe - Christmas Day begins the 12 Days of Christmas (also known as Christmastide). The period goes from December 25 to January 6…and in some traditions, January 6 is the day of celebration, not December 25th. So everyone who's fretting about a card or package being...
After yesterday's earth-element look comes another element - water - with its blues and greens (and a few appropriately-named shadow colors, as well.) Part of the One Year Eyecolor Challenge (new colors used: 4)
Mirroring the colors in the QVC-exclusive Bare Escentuals kit Earth Angel (two old colors - peach and iridescent lavender - and one new color - medium soft purple) using colors from other vendors, plus expanding the color range a bit to fit the name better. Posted so early in the...
Happy solstice, all!! For those northern-hemisphere residents that don't observe the holiday, you've got a reason to celebrate, too: from here on out, the days slowly start to get longer. We'll gradually have more and more daylight every day. I managed to break two fingers yesterday, but I woke up...
I mentioned my favorite tee shirt recently: black, with a certain coffee chain's logo, and the text replaced by the words “Soy Latte Is People”. Today's look is fairly simple - green, white, and black. Part of the One Year Eyecolor Challenge (new colors used: 3)
