Kat von D inspired candle decoration piece

Hola!

Okey so first of all I struggled so bad to name this post haha.

Second of all , yes this is supposed to be fashion/beauty blog but I just can not help to post some DIY once in a while! I love arty , crafty stuff and hope you do enjoy them posts , at least sometimes :).

So for those who do watch LA ink maybe you noticed the decor of Kats private studio?  

In the back she has portraits of Ludwig van Beethoven along with loads and loads of candles melted into each other. I was trying to find some pictures to show you the exact piece but it is so hard and the only pictures they are on google are such a poor quality and size.

Sooooo.... Kats candles are a pretty decent size , so I did not even thought about attempting doing such a big thing.

The first thing to do was find candles.

You CAN NOT use the ones in jars , glass etc.

My first thought was to buy a lot of candles with different thicknesses , long at short , but if you do not want to spend lots of money for something your gonna melt you will not be able to do that.

One sunny day on a walk with my lovely little family we came across our local costume shop - they were shutting down and hat a big sale on . We bought a few rather creepy pieces , was gonna leave and then BAM I came across the perfect candles. They were sling , long and RED ( this is great since I thought about doing it black and red) I bought all the candles they have left which was 60 of them for the price of £5 ! 

Now , you can not go wrong with that :)

So I took out a bit of wodden piece from the sched and decided to use it as a platform for my melted candles. To stick them onto the surcafe you need to melt the bottom of a candle and in the same time let it drip on the surface.

Now you need to be quick and stick the candle onto hot dripped wax.

This is basiclly the whole idea. 

You can break candles to make smaller and taller ones and when you have at least couple light them so they can look more used and gothic-ky?

In the end I painted the wood black ( which I probably should of done first :P) and with last little candle i made it drip on the platform so I can stick my bugs onto it.

I love the ending idea, it gives the dark kind of church like feeling to the room , although I would not recomend lighting all the candles at once coz they will melt into each other and break in half , so be care full   hope you enjoyed it!

What do you guys think?

Home decor

Aloha!

SO today something diffrent ( is it just me or it feel like I say it in almost every post? haha )

Anyways............

Who does not dream about their dream houses? Jacuzzi ,  saunas, big pool with a bar in the middle , open kitchen of the size of few rooms , bedroom just like from the movie scene , classy white color , expensive décor.

But hold on , I just do not see myself having a classy house. I am such a decor person , I love putting loads of pictures on wall , putting candles everywhere , for me more is MORE!

So here is some pictures of houses I love the look of !

I would love fresh flowers everywhere, crazy colours on walls and loads of patterned rugs!

Futuristic sculptures , pretty lights hanging from the sealing and funky furniture with fluffy pillows!

Ahh....

it is good to dream....

but it is better to make dreams come true.

What is you dream home? decor? or something you want badly for your house/room?

Haul #2

Hola!

So yesterday I decided to treat myself to few new pieces since I am in process of slowly clearing my wardrobe.

Recently I love blouses , I love their collors , shapes and the fabric they are made of , so when I poped in to new look and spotted this purple lovely one I could not resist! 

I also spotted a white sleeveless one , and even tho I am not a fan of white clothes , this one was such a bargain and I needed to have it.  It has such a nice detailing and does button just in the very top , so wearing a top underneath is a must!

I also picked up a pair of dirty pink skinny jeans that I think would go perfect with the purple blouse!

Going to pay for the items and my mum spotted those earring with little insects , so pretty! and just £1!

On my way back home I decided to pop to semi chem and pick up some hair dye but as always I could not resist their £1 candles , some even just 79p :O and the smells ! oh god , I am totally in love with the cookie one  and apple and cinnamon , even though they are the Christmas ones.

 btw , checks the candle my mum got me! 

I feel bad just thinking about lighting it!

I also ordered two items from missguided.com

Them lovely jeans , in the front they are printed and in the back black with printed pockets! Althought miss guided surprised me that the back of the jeans is not a jeans material its just cotton :(

another and last item would be a sheer blouse with print of little birds.

And let me tell you , on the website it does not look sheer! and yes I did expect it to be a better quality :( 

Still in love with it and can not wait to wear it!

I want to say I am so sorry for the quality of pictures! I made them too small and do not have much time to edit them again! 

It is a bit of a challenge to blog do some housework and take care of this little creature .

Stay tuned for more posts!
