Who Would Dance, on the Floor, in The Round...

So, yeah I know that I always talk about the various ideas that always pop into my head whenever I am not paying attention. But this time instead of complaining about all the ideas that distract me from ever starting anything, I think I will list the ideas so that they can seem more manageable. Bear in mind these ideas may not be that cool- I just need to get them out of my head so that I can prioritize my projects- and they aren't in order either.

1. I want to make purses based on hip hop symbols like headphones, spray cans etc. The purses will be made out of brightly colored fabrics with hip hop motifs embroidered and skulls embroidered on them.

2. A bottle cap necklace with my dad's picture in it- you put resin in it after you glue the picture to the inside.

3. I want to paint different mannequin heads that represent the four elements of hip hop. Each will have a different element of hip hop on their head.

4. Prayer candles- like the Mexican ones that have santos on them- I would like to create my interpretations of saints (ones that are less foreboding) and then decorate them with glitter and gems.

5. I want to finally finish the mirror top bedside table with a day-glo 80's style

6. I want to paint tiles at Color Me Mine and put them on a coffee table

7. I want to paint corkboards and make collages on the corkboards and then varnish them so they can be hung in people's dorm rooms

8. I want to make more glass gem magnets and glass gem push pins for the cork boards

9. I want to graffiti a trunk and use it as an accent table

10. I want to create a table that is in the shape of a rectangle- but when you get closer you realize that it can be taken apart in puzzle pieces and used on their own.

I have more ideas but I am getting a little sleepy now- so I better get to bed. On a side note, Grandma and I went thriftin tonight and found a nice solid bedside table for Garland (my sister's friend) to take to school in September. This lady at a Goodwill in Costa Mesa wanted $8.99 for a rickety beat up side table. Ha- I got this heavier bedside table with two drawers for $5.99. Oh for all of your information, I like Goodwill better than most other Thrift Stores. The furniture is usually pretty good and its cheaper than Salvation Army and Choc.

HELLO! I need to look for some furniture for my room, but I need to find out where I am moving in less than two weeks first!! Crazy stuff. I was thinking about a painting you could do and here are some ideas...something to do with the ocean, or water in general, which made me think of the waterfall in Grenada, I have some good pictures, then there is a picture from Grenada of a shack with an old guy that I really like for some reason, I think you would like it too; then I was thinking we are both into music and could do something with that since it's what you think about all the time anyway...I just don't know, I will continue thinking and we'll talk...in Rosarito maybe?!? :)
Happy Tuesday!
