thursday in a nutshell
What I did today:
new from my studio
Here's a peek of a custom artwork I recently finished of this super cute couple. It was ordered for them as a wedding gift. I hope they like how it turned out! I had a great time working on it!
Buildings in the background are of their colleges and the church where they are getting married... with the words "happily ever after" along the line of the hills.

Latest addi(c)tion
Hi there! This dress is from COS, h&m's older sister. It's actually from a few months back and although I couldn´t yet wear it then, I just had to have it. The dress is asymetrical, the one sleeve is a regular t sleeve, and the other side is draped. It's dark blue, although it seems almost black here! (the pictures are not great, I took a few quick shots).
And I realized I hadn't showed you my latest addition yet: a piercing right in the middle of my ear shell.
ps. Still not done with university stuff but the busiest part is over! Great feeling I must say :P

sticky back canvas beaded necklace
Here's a quick video from the NAMTA show that we taped showing how to make a quick necklace from Claudine Hellmuth Studio Sticky Back Canvas.
back in the studio
It feels like forever since I have been home and working in the studio. It has been 3 weeks but it feels longer than that! I am still gathering my wits about me, usually a lot of travel will get me off balance and it takes a few days to settle back into artwork and getting into the flow of being creative in the studio.
Last night Paul and I rescued a baby bird who was hopping around in the street. We took him home and he snuggled down in a box with blankets and this morning I raced him over to The Second Chance Wildlife Center in Gaithersburg MD. What an amazing center! There were baby ducks and baby squirrels all being given a second chance! Turns out our bird was a baby Robin and the prognosis is good! I said a tearful good-bye to my little Robin and wished him well. Paul and I are now members and we are so relieved there are places and people like this where you can take injured song birds. I know he'll enjoy flying around in Maryland much better than in the city here in DC!

Looks I Like
I know that slowly I´ll have to decrease the amounts of black because spring is here (so excuse the dark edge). But don´t worry, there is an all-bright inspiration post coming up soon ;)
Vogue has letters too, you know
I personally love the idea of a set of books floating around on my wall! I found the first image of a book serving as a bookshelf a while back. It can be purchased thourgh apartdesign.nl and nonplusultra.nl I think. But why not take matters in to own hands, and create one just the way you like it! For example by using your favourite book as the shelf. And for those of you who don't read books (shame on you ;) ), I'd love to see how this works out with magazines!
ps. I'll get back to every sweet one of you that left a comment, as soon as I give myself some time off from studying :)
Thanks for wishing me good luck! I'm kind or stressed out, so I'll need it! x yara

on the road again!
I've been home for two days and tomorrow I'll head out on my third and final trip this month! Wow! this has been way too much travel in a short period of time. I can hardly think straight.
I'll be teaching a 3 day intensive workshop at the Art League of Bonita Springs. First I'll stop in Orlando to visit my parents, Paul is coming with me for that leg, he'll stay in Orlando and my Mom and I will head to Bonita Springs for my workshop!
My online workshop starts on Monday, there's still time to sign up! Here's a link with more info!
I'll be Twittering from the road! Follow me on Twitter to get the latest updates from my travel adventures!

Welcome home!
A few days ago I welcomed these towering 13 centimeter platforms in to my closet. I think they're lovely! In this outfit I wore it with a zip dress and black blazer but I also wore leather look tights with it.
ps. Unfortunately I'll have to focus on final papers and exams for the next 2,5 week :( so there might not be that many outfit posts!

Breakthrough System puts an end to Yo- Yo Dieting for Good
Dr. Suzanne has gone and done it again!
She gave you the revolutionary secrets to fat loss in her eBook "Top Secret Fat Loss Secret" which shook the very foundations of the food manufacturers and opened the eyes of millions just like YOU to help take your life back and your waistline.
Even though, she helped people lose over 56,562 lbs total and counting with her amazing secret, she noticed an unsettling trend.
She found that there was no problem for them losing the weight but, to her disheartenment they seemed to be struggling to keep it off!
We have ALL gone through this. It seems too familiar.
LOSE the WEIGHT...GAIN the WEIGHT...LOSE the WEIGHT...GAIN the WEIGHT...
This viscous cycle of Yo- Yo Dieting has to end and end NOW!
As you know, Dr. Suzanne leaves no stone unturned when searching for the TRUTH!
After countless interviews with diet experts and people just like YOU who have struggled with the battle of bulge and have won she discovered that all of them did a very similar SIMPLE EASY to DO SYSTEM that kept the weight off !!!!
Instead of keeping this amazing discovery to herself Dr. Suzanne has created the
YoungSlimFit Program to give you all of the tools that they used to finally end their battle with the bulge!!
So if you are someone who is just flat out sick and tired of the endless Yo-Yo Dieting then do not hesitate any longer.
Go here to secure you life changing program!
I would not hesitate long because she gives you 50% OFF of the normal price just for ordering within 24-48hrs!
louisville here I come!
This is the second trip in my three trip travel odyssey! I have been home for 24 hours since teaching 5 classes at Art & Soul Virginia and here I go again!
I'm headed to the NAMTA trade show in Louisville KY. If you are attending the show, stop by the Ranger booth and say hi! I'll be doing demos and make-n-takes every day of the show!
I get back Sunday and am home for two days before heading to Florida to teach a 3 day collage workshop at the Art League of Bonita Springs (spaces still available!).
One trip down... two more to go!

It seems like an increasing amount of good designers is coming from Australia. The australian duo from The cassete society created this beautiful line with tough yet feminine looks. Very wearable and very 'right now'. I also love how the hair and shoes pull the looks together.

In the navy
I had completely forgotten about this navy blazer. The little anchor buttons are so cute! These diy shorts were replaced with jeans, because the weather is still too cold.
