Kad, the only reason I'm not baking cupcakes is the strict regulations for import of edible goods. Derpy deserves a delicious treat for his birthday just as much as anyone does ^^

Coffee cupcakes. *~* Sound really good right now.

Erm I need to get going on making more stuff. :(

Death: Totally understandable. XD
Derpy got some tasty mini cupcakes even though they dried out a bit since my work schedule being hectic forced me to make them a couple days in advance.

Kitty: Gotta say, they taste AMAZING! Definitely a recipe I plan to make again.

*points to spoiler tag* Under that is what my brain came up with for the theme.

Very pretty and 100% appropriate. That's going to be a fairytale wedding ^^

Hey wait....that's what I was gonna do!
Lol, jk. I probably won't get anything done this month.
Although, I may try to get something done in the future for it.

O.M.G.
Never use the Premier Pipsqueak yarn cakes for stuffed animals. Ever. It is soft and fuzzy, which is nice, but the process of tightening the cast on rows and stitching up parts causes the soft fuzz to pretty much disintegrate. Not good.
XP
Will finish off the dragon and hippo thay I started with them, then never use it for anything other than MAYBE adult/child scarves. The shedding aspect makes me hesitant to actually use this yarn for baby items, despite the soft pastels and yarn name implying that to be it's intended use.

So I fucked up. The "perfect" polyclay I got for a project? Nope. It's not meant to be baked. It melts at 150F.

Melty clay nooooooo!

In unrelated news I've been painting too much. > n>

what happened was I thought it was meant to be baked at 150f, but when I went to open the package to start sculpting, I re-read the information panel and found my error. I'll take it back to the store on Friday, and exchange it.

Oh man...good thing you caught it before it was too late!

no kidding. I'm a bit bummed because it's the perfect shade for the character I want to make a doll of. but I'll use what I get back from it and what I get for cans to get something else I need instead. I'll save up for good clay to make the doll at a later date.

Bridal Dinosaurs..?

(also, HEY! I'm not dead!)

Yeah. A mashup of two suggestions last month. :3

I tried to take a vote, but no one voted, so I went with both of the (official) suggested themes. Although we also have thr unofficial theme of "Derpy's birthday". So if you wanna make a (belated) present for everyone's favorite cuddly baby dragon, that's always an option too...
XD

I am so tired but I can't sleep. So I am busying myself getting some paintings ready to finish. It's boring but meh.

Alright, since apparently last month theme suggestions were too rushed and we didn't have time to narrow down options, we'll start taking suggestions now and if we get more than one suggestion, we'll take a vote on June 27th!

Sound good? Start suggesting!
But don't panic, you still have time to finish those wedding-ready dinos!

picnics. With or without bonus Yogi trying to steal the picnic basket.

Next months theme should me MEEEE! Cuz it's mah birfday month :B

Serious suggestion: Fireworks

Lol. Because that worked out SO WELL for Derpy!
XD

Ooooh....good theme suggestions so far!

Video of my latest mess making. xD (edit: it's a 42 second video with no sound)

I had a pane of glass taped to the spinning wheel. Turned it on and dumped my paint on and I loves it. O wO

I could literally watch that video all day.

That looks absolutely amazing! And big fun to make ^^

two more paintings with the pottery wheel with varying levels of success xD

Le Ketchup


Neon Vomit

I kind of like the neon vomit one.

I like it too but the colors got a little too muddled.

Yeah, but a lot of the yellow and blue lines are a sharp enough contrast to the muddied colors that it makes it pop some.
At least that's how it looks to me...

Did another one with the neon colors!

I'm patterning out doll clothes based on Victorian patterns for an Ever After High doll body. and getting ideas for an outfit for myself to wear at steampunk society events.

I pathetically used 6 tries on the crane game for 100 aurum, but at least I got it xD

Have fun at those steampunk society events, Den ^^

Damies, your neon vomit looks cool. Kinda 80s/90s retro vibe. It would make great wall art, and I can also imagine a smaller version turned into a necklace.

I've forgotten how to get event tickets

just post, MonBon.

I officially need nail art challenges (just for myself or any interested people) mainly just to keep me aware of my nails so I can take better care of them.

Also, totally forgot about theme voting, but our suggestions are:

Picnic
OR
Fireworks

Vote now for July's CaL theme!

But the little message that tells me if I've gotten tickets isn't showing up when I post :(

That's weird. Let Toho and Coda know?

My vote is for picnic.

also, have some repaint work



I didn't like the factory paint. This feels more like Rainbow Dash to me.



Bonus Baby!Rainbow Dash

Lol. Lil' diaper-butt!

Ugh, that reminds me that I should probably try to finish my re-wigging attempt soon.

I know! <3 She arrived at my place thanks to Tam. I then cleaned her off and then I ran out of sealant and had to wait to get more, but I got her eyes started last night, and finished 'em and touched up her cutie mark today.

I love it Den!

Omg plz help. I literally just spent $55.92 on every color of a collection of nail polish with the sole purpose of disproving the claim of "holochrome".
Although the colors are nice, so I'll still use them...
