The gallery will be down for renovation. It needed a new layout and also I will soon leave for my holidays, so all activities (as few as they were) will stop for a while. I'll try to do the layout today, but it all depends on my degree of enlightment :]

But fear not! I've been making jewellery like woah so there are things to update... just not right now ^^;

Yesterday I bought some nice wooden beads and buttons because I wanted to try my hand at making the same type of necklace I've been seeing a lot in shops here at Lisbon.

The picture on the right is focusing on the center piece of the necklace. I hope you like it :).

See kids? merri_me is alive and well :D. No worries, all is fine and dandy and all the pretty boys can mail me at k... oops, not yet. Can't have fun until the exams are over ;). (I still have to go study some more today, eventhough it's 11PM whoop dee doo da go me!:S)

Anyways, a decent drawing made today at 5am. I missed the sunrise because I was retouching it. It's a GIRL!:D

hugs and kisses and all that jazz :)

Note: I delayed posting this wallpaper because I couldn't find a source, but here it is now!:) This was done in celebration, I did a few days after knowing about Kannivalism's return. I'm really proud of one detail *grins*: the original picture was "shoulderless" so I picked another pic from the same photoshoot and used the tablet to make them. I hope you like it:].

NOTE: I got the idea from this Shoxx bis photoshoot and his shirt, because when you look at it, you instantly think "It's only rock'n roll but I like it.". It's a great song too. :)

NOTE:Urei's owner posted recently some pictures of a pamphlet. Besides the tradicional (and awesome as usual) Kagrra vector illustration, for me the ones that stuck out the most were Izumi's,much thanks to his expression. With the intent of making a wallpaper for my personal use, I came up with this: short, simple and kinda sweet too I think...:]

NOTE: Sometimes I Google the internet for pictures writing whatever comes to my mind at the moment on the search box. For this wallpaper, it all started out with the word "lily", and an incredible picture of a lily, "Stargazer Lily", taken by Declan McCullagh. Again, a wallpaper just had to be made of it.:)
With the idea of adding a girl of angelical features to the "mix" in my mind, I searched around for a propper Fiona Apple picture to add, but came across this picture of Shannyn Sossamon. Remember her from "a Knight's Tale"?
Anyway, put one plus another and a song by Damien Rice and you get...

Now I shall proceed to fix the broken link, tag everything that isn't tagged and eliminate the blabber from posts. (^_^) Things are happening, but slowly...

Another one! (^_^) This one took months in the making, but I finished it today!:D
