I have been trying to improve my drawing abilities… because why the heck not.
And to combine that with my penchant for drawings Mermaids… and you get…
Well, you get more mermaids… just drawing with eyes instead of my signature beady-eyes
This one is a shout out to my homie Elisa and her uncanny ability to always be on vacation or planning one!
Right now she’s planning our vacation to Greece! We are going there this spring and it’s going to be amazing. And we are going to do what we do best, drink, laugh and look at buildings and stuff. I feel like I should put that on my resume…. so someday I can be professional looker at buildings, with an emphasis in laughing and drinking.
This week has been crazy. And every time I do this some Jimmy complains that I do not post enough on this blog.
So here’s a snazzy recap!
-I got to learn how to do a veil belly dance number. And had mad expertise on swishing around the veil, because I dramatically wrap myself up in blankets like a little hobo… on the daily.
-I ate fried chicken. Most fancily… might I add. While sporting my chicken eating necklace.
-I got fairy wings I ordered in the mail. Because I needed them to be a proper adult.
– I made a floral crown… just because I wanted to see if I could make one…. totally succeeded.
-I got called a hippy 3 times while not even wearing that floral crown… and I liked it. I do recycle and I am kind animals and the planet!
-I fell asleep with a cat in my arms instead of going to work on time today… he was just so comfy cozy.
-I did like 60% of the planning for my sister’s impending baby shower, most of it while in the shower.
-And I decided that I still wish I were a mermaid. Because I’d be swishing my blanket in the sea… while being mer-sparkly:
And I really like when that happens because, I can make something super nice for someone!
Apparently last year when I drew myself as a mermaid I started a frenzy of other people I know who also never got to realize their mermaid potential. I was hearing right and left from others who felt that they too needed to be a creature of the sea!
One of those wonderful people was Sarah! The adorable sister of Jimmy!
And even though I took a moderate eternity to finish it… Here she finally is…and I would like to present to the entire internet.
Sarah my mermaid homegirl:
She’s fishtastic! No wait she’s mer-iffic!
It’s so hard to be a mermaid in the Valley. But she’s totally doing it everyday complete with a classy, flashy, fish friend. She has the best mermaid style is all sorts of sparkly purple, has constantly color changing follicles… and is the best caretaker of sea horses in the whole Pacific.
This is pretty much on her business card.
I hope you like it Sarah! And I hope everyone has a super great weekend.
I’m off to the beach… to celebrate my bestie Isabel’s bachelorette party this weekend and not necessarily to become a mermaid.
Have a nice weekend everybody!
♥Lauren (who is going to be a mermaid no matter what)
Viciously Sweet
