mermaiden: (Our Family - Wedding - Together)
We are home
We are where we shall be for forever...
Trust in me,
For you know I won't run away
From today!
This is all that I need
And all that I need to say is...
Don't you know how you've changed me?
Strange how I finally see...
I found home,
You're my home,
Stay with me.

~ from "Transformation" -- Disney's Beauty and the Beast, the Musical

~*~


Friday evening, I had another session for my fairy tale sleeve. These are the roses in my Beauty panel, from the fairy tale of "Beauty and the Beast." Done in a stained glass styling, each of the petals is three different colors of red, alternating. These pictures were taken when it was just finished, so it's nice and angry looking, but the coloration is still delineated. I have no words to convey how amazing this is in person...I'm so completely enamored with this piece, the sheer beauty of it. The mirror has the word "home" in a very wispy styling, so it seems misty (I asked for it to be a "hint" of the word, and in the healing tattoo, it totally is--I need to get a better picture of this--it's just so freakin' happy~ Also, we ran out of time, but the mirror and ring will both be golden, eventually), paying homage to the song Belle sings in the Disney musical. It simply means that home is the most important thing, and that home is far from a place. It is a person. :) <33333333333333

This tattoo is taking forever because we budget into our expenses a very short appointment every two months. The day it's finished? I think I'll die of joy~

Both of these images are from Cat's camera~

My life in the past few weeks, in lovely little digestible noms~

<3 I got my Star Girl added to my fairy tale sleeve, FINALLY!



Her heart was filled with stars )


<3 We picked poppies from a wild field~



<3 I'm working endlessly on editing Twixt. I have this totally unrealistic goal of being finished with edits by my birthday, July 6th. XDDDD Um. We'll see what happens.

<3 We're planning our first annual Midsummer extravaganza, which we're endlessly excited about and covered in glitter for.

<3 All of our fur babies are finally healthy~ I gave baths to Pan and Poesy last night, and told Link he was far too clean and dainty to get one. XD To which I'm sure he agreed. My two little wild muppets are always tangled in something, and their taller and more more esteemed brother is fretting on the sidelines while they chase frogs and find more ways to store grass clippings in their coats. XD

Poesy--practically CLEAN, compared to what usually happens on such outings. XD


<3 We finally have our vegetable garden rotatilled! I'm going to be consecrating the ground on Thursday (the full moon) and planting on Saturday~ My excitement knows no bounds~ <3

<3 I'm surrounded by people who love me and believe in me and my stories and never, ever, ever let me give up. That's pretty incredible, and something I am endlessly and forever grateful for. <3333333
