A Lolita's Dream Room



The Most Kawaii Room You'll Ever See! 


While I was surfing Tumblr I came across one of my old time favorite sweet lolita and sweets crafter, Sweetie Cakes. While I was poking around her various sites I found her Yaplog blog post of her kawaii room!



Can I say this is literally the SWEETEST room you ever seen?

I mean come on, what sweet lolita and kawaii enthusiast (like myself) wouldn't dream of having a room like this!




I can say the best part of the room is the incredible style and creativity! I love the prints on the walls, the bows and ribbons, and just all the cute miscellaneous items that are placed in such a perfect way!

How To Make A Sweets Deco Roll Cake

Deco Den Roll Cake Tutorial 


I was surfing around in my files and saw some old Japanese sweets deco tutorials scans. This one in particular is about roll cakes. I haven't been crafting like I wanted too in a while, but seeing these really gets me in the mood!



I have no idea what I'm going to do with all the materials I gathered a few years ago but I know that if I want to do something, I just have to do it. I really want to make my first sweets deco picture frame but I've been busy with so many things, I never got around to it. I really need to clean up my space first if anything, it's hard to be inspired if your crafting space looks like you're just moving in.

But in any event, if you have a taste for a REAL roll cake, especially a cute one, here is a super sweet tutorial from ochikeron on how to make one! Enjoy everyone!


Thanks for viewing and happy sweets crafting!

My Little Pony Ponysona


Hey everyone, sorry for the absence!

I haven't been scanning my drawings that I did in March, yes March haha. Anyway, since I did those drawings I fell in a slight slump of not drawing, but I'm working to get back out of it. Doing some fan ponies really did the trick! I never drew myself as a MLP styled pony so I decided to try my hand at it. I love drawing myself in different cartoon universes, it's probably my top thing to draw haha. Maybe because I have Scorpio as my ascendant sign and apparently we like to change ourselves quite a bit haha!



Anyway, this is the sketch that I worked a couple of nights on. Time wise I didn't work that long on it. I decided to name my ponysona "Prism" since I love crystals, prisms and the healing properties of such. And of course since I LOVE unicorns I made myself as an unicorn pony with a horn made of crystal.

I guess my special talent (which I taken from my actual talent) is the ability to help people achieve their dreams. I love talking and writing about it so it's perfect to add it in my pony self. I have to work on the cutie mark and the colors. Though I know the basic colors in my head. Lets hope I actually finish this haha! Thanks for looking guys! I've been addicted to MLP for a while now and it got worst when the third season came on Netflix not too long ago. I can watch that show for hours haha!

Here is another WIP I was working on some time ago, funny enough till today I completely forgot about it haha!


Thanks a ton for looking, again haha!

Pencil and Paper, Together at Last



Hey everyone! 

After so much happened last week I finally felt inside that it was time to settle in a career/life's work that I would be happy with. The feelings I had was really scary honestly, I never felt the intuitive need to finally move on with life, to stop trying to find something and just choose what it is I really wanted to do and make it happen. I also felt like it was time to leave the nest, something I wanted to do for many years but till now I felt it as deeply as I did. Because of these new rise of feelings I decided to start cleaning up my room (and other areas in the house I work in) and life to have a fresh start. I concluded that art was my life and the only thing I would want to do (not that there was a debate but still) and found comfort that I can expand and try different things in that endeavor.

I know for a long time I've been exploring different crafts, ideas and beliefs that I thought suited me at the time. Some did, most didn't and it all brought me back to my love of drawing. At this point searching for that perfect thing is pointless because I already know what it is. Art and drawing!

So this picture came into play after I finally sat down and drew at my favorite spot in the world, my drawing desk. I'm so incredibly rusty at drawing off the computer (and drawing in general) but I'm happy to see this, it's quite cute. I intend to keep drawing at my desk and get in touch with my art once again like I did before!

Till next time guys!

Taurus girl Sketch & updates


Feeling rather emotional last night and not drawing in what I feel was a long time, I decided to sketch down one of the ideas that have been in my head for a few days now. Not much to say, I didn't realize how unattractive centaurs can look, they looked a lot cuter in my mind. So I decided to make the meeting of the different body parts look more cute by adding fluff.



This was pretty much inspired by my zodiac sign, go Taurus!

Official Valentine's Day Picture WIP 2

Hey everyone! 

I'm back again with an in progress picture of my latest sketch for Valentine's day! I'm going for a different style for this picture, for the line art I'm making the lines thin. I normally go for a more cartoony, graphic look but I want to go for a more traditional anime look, something I've been wanting to try for a while now. When I do color it, I want it to be more soft and air brushed. I fell in love with the marker tool in SAI so I'll be using that for my main coloring tool. 


I'm really loving how this is coming out, I can't wait to finish it more! I'm planning to have it finished for Valentine's day!

Official Valentine's Day Picture WIP

Hey everyone!

I'm back again with yet another WIP to share. This time it's another Valentine's day picture. I just love the holiday so much, I really do love love! Getting to the picture, I wanted to do a warm up before continuing the V-day secret Santa I entered in. I wanted to do a quick chibi picture but it turned out not being chibi at all. Not that I mind.

Valentine's wip sketch


What I did had in mind was the character being a chocolate themed maid. I wanted to be really cute with ruffles and such. I also tried something different like drawing a pose of a person hugging something. I'm really proud of it and my increasing skill of drawing hands. I still have a long way to go but I see so much improvement. Looking at live subjects and taking metal notes for drawing purposes helps a lot!

That is pretty much it, I hope I can finish it by Valentine's day. If not, it'll just be late haha!

Take care all!

Yours Truly
