my look at the Catching Fire movie

Heyyyyyyy, yesterday I went to the movie Catching Fire, and it is the most awesome movie ever!!! For the movie I wanted to dress a little as Katniss:

(sorry for the things around the poster, but the poster was in a store)

So I had my hair in a braid, wore natural colors, and some other catching fire details.


My outfit (jeans, dark green top, brown blazer)


My hair in a braid, leaf earrings


I know the picture is a little vage, but it shows my mockingjay necklace


On the first finger I made flames, on the middle three fingers I made T H G (The Hunger Games) and on my thumb I tried to make a mockingjay.

So this is how I looked yesterday at the movie. I also have some pictures from there I wanted to show:


This is me with a poster of Peeta in the background. I wanted to take a picture with a poster of him, but they didn't had one at the movie theatre. This was in front of a bookstore.


This are my friends and me holding invisible bows...


This is Finnick :)

This is it for now. I suggest every one should see the movie, because it is so awesome!!!

I hope you liked it :D

what I made recently

heyy, today I wanted to show you some things I made recently. Most things are made this week or last week. I made some drawings, and I decorated some school stuff. I will start with the drawings:



For school we had to make a front page for our art portfolio, so I made a Spencer Reid front page. For more details about the front page, go to this link: http://spencereid17.blogspot.nl/2013/10/my-spencer-reid-school-project.html
This is the link to the post on my Spencer Reid blog, where I show each drawing individually.



I made some drawings for two friends of me. One asked me to draw Adam Lambert, the other wanted me to do Josh Hutcherson. I had already drawn Josh once, so he wasn't very hard. Adam was more difficult, because I couldn't see his hair very well on the picture.



One night I was bored and I found a charcoal pencil, so I decided to draw something. I first made a Mockingjay pin, but I didn't use the effects of the charcoal. Then I tried to make Peeta/Josh Hutcherson, but in my opinion, it failed. I think I want to draw more with charcoal, because it works nice and I am currenty busy on making my portfolio, so I want to use more materials than just a pencil. I am also trying on drawing other things than I normally do, so I have got lots of drawing requists from classmates.



Last Friday in my economic class, my teacher was angry at some of the students (not me) and he was talking all hour, but since it wasn't meant for me, I decided to draw. I made these drawings of just random girls in a kawaii/manga/cartoon style.

Now something else I made. Tuesday at our first lesson, we were all bored. I had brought the deco tape that I bought in my school-shoplog, and my classmates saw it, so we went ahead and decorated everything we could find. One made some stripes on her phonecase, another made some stripes on a pen. The lesson after that, I taped a whole pen and since then, I taped everything I could find.

Here are some things I taped:

A few pens...


My scissors (not finished yet)


An empty smint container


Two cardboard boxes.

This was everything I wanted to show now.

I hope you like it :D

jewelry update

heyy, today I wanted to do a jewelry update, so here it is. I made some resin stuff, and a necklace.


Four resin heart I made. One has beads, one has a sticker and glitters, one has stickers, and the last one has beads, a charm, and leaves.


Before I had resin, I made bottlecap charms with glue. Since I have resin now, I wanted to make resin bottlecap charms. I used glitters, studs, beads, strass stones, chain, and a charm.


The Hunger Games necklace I made with a mockingjay charm. A few weeks ago, I showed you another HG necklace with this charm, but a smaller version. It was too small to me, so I bought bigger charms. This is the difference between the small and big charm:



I hope you like it :D

holiday planning: TAG wednesday 3

heyy, today is Wednesday, and that means I'm going to post a TAG. Since I just posted 'How to Tuesday' with a post on how to write a story, I thought a book TAG would match well. I know characters in books don't have pictures, but some of my favorite books are made into movies, so I'll post pictures. Here it is:

• Favorite book
The Hunger Games series

These are the English versions.


These are the Dutch versions.

• Favorite book quote
So after, when he whispers, “You love me. Real or not real?”
I tell him, “Real.”
It’s the ending from Mockingjay (the third Hunger Games book).


• Favorite writer
I don’t have a favorite writer. I like reading, but all kinds of books.

• Favorite tear breaker
Mockingjay. It’s not really a sad book, but a lot of characters die, also the favorite ones. I had to reread it several times before it got to me he was dead.

• Favorite male character
I have a few. Peeta and Finnick from the Hunger Games series. Jacob from Twilight. I have more, but I don’t remember them, because lately, I haven’t read a lot. This year, I have only read for school, and the hunger games. And the books for school were boring.

Peeta


Finnick


Jacob

• Favorite female character
Zoey from House of Night. It’s a book series about vampires. I have began with the series two years ago, but I don’t have all the books. Only I have them in Dutch, like almost every book I read. I do read English stories online.

• Character that scared you
I don’t have one. I’m not easy scared.

• Character you hate
I can’t think of a character I hate.

• Book you love but everyone hates
I like the CSI: Miami books. Last year I found a few at the library, and I read them in a very short time. I know there are more, but the library doesn’t have them anymore. I think that’s because they weren’t very popular.


• Book you hate but everyone loves
I have never read a book I hate but everyone loves. It’s not that I never read a book that I don’t like. When I hate a book, the rest does that too. For my English lessons at school, we had to read a book from a list. A lot of us choose ‘Room’, because it looked spectacular, also the description. But at page 100, nothing had happened. It was the most boring book we have ever read.

• Favorite character duo
Katniss and Finnick in Catching Fire and Mockingjay. Their friendship is just very beautiful to read. Finnick cheers her up, gives advice, saved Peeta and her, helps her through hard times. I wish I had a male friend like that (who also looks that good).


• Which book surprised you the most
The Hunger Games series. I began to read the Hunger Games before the first movie, but I hadn’t finished it when I saw the movie. When I was packing for my vacation to Turkey, I needed some books to read. I saw catching fire and mockingjay lying on the shelves. I started to read them with the thought I have nothing else to read, but when I started , I became addicted.

• If you could read only one book forever, which would it be
The Hunger Games Mockingjay in English. I have read the series in Dutch and I can’t find them in English, but I know some English quotes and they are so awesome in English.

• Recommended book
House of Night, because it’s very good written. It has romance, action, fantasy, vampires, a bit of horror. It has everything.

The first book

• If you could marry a book character, no matter of his/her age, who would it be
PEETA MELLARK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is so cute. His behavior, his looks, everything!!!


• About to die, you can only read one book. Which would it be
Mockingjay. Because when I end it, the last thing I’ll read would be my favorite quote.

• Favorite genre
Romance, action, fantasy.

• Favorite book from that genre
Romance: the Hunger Games series
Action: the Hunger Games series
Fantasy: House of Night

• First book you have read
I don’t remember. Maybe Disney or Barbie.


Sorry for my ovrload on Hunger Games answers. If you decide to do this book TAG, comment the link to your blog or video so I can see it.

I hope you like it!

holiday planning: thursday jewelry update 1

Heyy, today is Thursday, and originally my planning was to show you every Thursday one kind of jewelry. So today was planned for braceets, next weeks necklaces. But then I thought, a jewelry update would be better, because in the rest of the vacation, I'm gonna make more bracelets. So I'll do an update every Thursday. I didn't made a lot of jewelry (or other creative things) lately, but I had ordered some things on etsy. They were mockingjay pendants, but they weren't the right size, so I had to think of something else to make of them. So I did. This update is about the jewelry I made, but I also want to show a necklace I bought in Turkey two month ago.

Here they come:

This is a Mockingjay necklace. The pendant should be bigger, but I already ordered the larger ones, so I thought I could also make a smaller version.


I also made bracelets of them. First I didn't knew how, because on internet, you saw suede cords knotted around the sides. But I didn't want to do that, because than you see the ring of the pendant. On internt you see the ring too, but I think it looks stupid. But than I got the idea to make the knot over the ring, so you can't see it anymore. I think they look very cool.


I also made a bracelet with a button. It is an old button, with a loop on the back side to sew it on cloths. When you cut the loop of, you can make a bracelet of it. It looks just like a connector.


Off course you can use a lot of things as a connector. I used big golden chain. I also have big neon pink chain, but it was too big and it wouldn't fit around my wrist. So I used this chain.


I wanted to make a tougher mockingjay bracelet, so I wanted to use leather cord to make a braid. But I can't braid with four cords. My mom tried to teach me, but I didn't understand it, so I made my own kind of braid. I haven't seen it on internet yet, but basically you have four cords, but you braid like you do with three because the middle part is two strings.


Close up picture from the braid.


I made this directioner necklace. You can buy this charm everywhere without the necklace, and it's not hard to make.


I made this braided bracelet with two suede cords and chain. I saw simular things on internet one time, so I wanted to make one myself.


I made a headband with leather strips. I attached some sort of end cap with a loop to the ends of the strips, and connected them with a piece of elastic jewelry cord. I also have a neon pink one, but the picture is kind of weird, because it looks like my shoulder is out of joint.


This is the necklace I bought in Turkey. It's a pair of glasses and a pencil attached to a blue ball chain necklace. It was quite expensive, but I totally love it.
P.S. look how tanned my legs are :)

I hope you liked this jewelry update. Tomorrow I'm going to show you some outfits, so keep waiting!
