Leonid Afremov Paintings

I have posted Leonid Afremov’s paintings before but I have to do it again. His work is so amazing.

Leonid is a professional artist. He paints only with a palette knife and oil paints. I can’t get over how amazing the work is. Leonid was born in Vitebsk in 1955. He paints every day and posts work in many places. I like to look at his work on Deviant Art but it is all over the internet. You will find hundreds of search results for him. Read the whole post

Fuf!!

I made a new investment… and it is AMAZING! It is called a Fuf but it is really a giant bean bag filled with memory foam. It is my new favorite love 🙂

Winter Wonderland?

winter wonderlandAlright, I wouldn’t call it a winter wonderland… Let’s face it, anything that has the word winter, snow can not be considered a wonderland, in my opinion. Snow looks pretty from the window but from outside it is a different story.

I had time to paint last night for the first time in quite a while. This was what happened. Maybe sometime this weekend I’ll get a frame so I can get it up on Etsy! Read the whole post

M.C. Escher LEGO Recreations

I love M.C. Escher. A lot. When I saw this I had to repost it. Ohh my, the geekery is coming out!

Artists Andrew Lipson and Daniel Shiu were inspired by M.C. Escher who is most famous for his “impossible structures”. They wondered if it was possible to recreate the drawings in LEGO form.

Andrew and Daniel took 16 shots, zoomed in on specific parts of the models, and glued them together as a mosaic panorama.

DIY Candy Cane Vodka

Okay, I’m not usually festive. I’m kind of a scrooge when it comes to holidays so, I’ve decided to work on that. This is my first step… Candy Cane Vodka! Yummy! It is very easy to make and I assume that it will taste amazing. I’ve never made this before but I have made cherry and watermelon Jolly Rancher vodka and that was pretty good.

What can you use this for you ask? I recommend pouring a small amount of it in your hot chocolate on a cold day. Read the whole post
