In the post below this one, fruitlolita posted pictures of Japanese bath salts featuring Disney princesses, so I decided to make some icons of them.

I hate this family, I hate men and boys, I hate rap/urban/gansta subculture, I hate being penniless, and I hate that the fact the only internet connection I have is this damn crap top, and I HATE having to live with my cousin Robert. Who deserves nothing and gets everything because he's reed-thin and mixed blood. 

FUCK. THIS. SHIT.

( Two new prints )

Also, has everyone noticed that the nagoya and kyoto blogs are starting to list prices of the items? That makes things a lot easier for those of us who use shopping services to purchase!

online i came across these disney bath salts from japan, and i love the packaging so much! they remind me of fairy tale book illustrations when i was little.
i thought you might enjoy them too...



( four more under the cut )
i just finally noticed that the swooping frames behind them are their initials;;
which one is your favorite? :D

(if anyone makes icons with them please link me, i'd love to see them! :3)

( Some necklaces I've made lately! )

ANGIE:
RE: your myspace

My current obsession  du jour is fans. I think a beautiful fan can really set off an outfit and set a person out from the crowd, and it's so sad that they have all but disappeared these days.


Wonderful for cooling down  when wearing all those frills, and even for showing off those fabulous nails so many Lolita have!

I can't help but think they would be a wonderful accessory to have, but also what a project!? Painting and or sewing your own fan leaf? Even collecting fans to decorate a room?

The fan up here is from the Royal Collection, they have some of the most magnificent fans I have ever seen dating from the 17th century on, you can even magnify the images to get a lovely clear close up look, and read about them to see who they belonged to, where the images came from etc. Great inspiration for any loli looking to paint her own fan!

Right now I only have one fan, it's a Victorian mourning fan, a little goth perhaps but they way it catches the light is incredible!

Today I completed my Princess Challenge for July! I baked Madeleines au citron, these cute little shell shaped cakes were a pleasure to bake and turned out pretty tasty too. I decided to bake Madeleines because they’ve always been one of my favourite treats, my Mother used to bring them home from the Patisserie for me, but I’ve never tried baking them before. I had a great excuse to do so because one of my friends is having a Bon Voyage party tomorrow night (she is moving to Japan, I will really miss her!) and she asked me to help cater. I also made some Inarizushi and tomorrow I’m going to make some Onigiri for the party as well.

Madeleines can be made in nearly every flavour imaginable, but I decided to go with traditional lemon and orange because I find it compliments the buttery sweetness of the base so well.

Ingredients

1 1/4 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 eggs
1/2 cup icing sugar
2 tbs lemon or orange juice
6 tbs melted butter
Grated rind of lemon or orange

Preheat the oven to 375F / 190C and grease a 12 mold Madeleine tin. In one bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Set this aside. In a second bowl beat the eggs until smooth. Add the icing sugar to the eggs and beat together until there are no lumps. Now add the citrus juice and rind and fold in gently. Using a spatula start by folding a small amount of flour in to the mixture, then fold in a small amount of butter. Alternate between the two until you get a firm but light batter. Let the mixture sit for ten minutes before spooning it in to the middle of each mold. Bake for 15 minutes. When it is done the edges should be slightly brown and the top spring back to touch. Release the Madeleines on to a cooling rack and dust with icing sugar.

Makes a lovely afternoon tea treat!

*ucc_status: uccmail is down, therefore I have no livejournal comments. Forgive late replies, etc.

*SHAAAAAAAPED. Luckily, our month ticks over at midnight. BUT STILL.

*oh my god I really want to watch TDK, but no dice until Veterans is done.

*Speaking of Veterans, about halfway through edits/rewrites to the final quarter of the story, and should be able to clear through most the rest tonight, cross fingers. Sami has finished her editing and is compiling photos to make a cast list.

*Still haven't heard from our artist. Should I worry yet? Maybe I should try commenting on her LJ as well as waiting for a reply email...?

*rallamajoop, looks like we might need to take you up on that offer. As soon as I'm done, I'll edit in all the notes Sami's made and fire off the googledocs your way. Either tonight or tomorrow night, probably.

*Yield/Forfeit keeps poking its hand up and offering little scenes from Kell's early time in the circuit, before she yields Roman, and I'm like, yes honey, thank you, please hold that thought for another couple days, okay?

Okay time to get started on tonight's editing. YOSH~

EDIT, 11.45pm: Total Veterans rewrites now 7,919 over the last three nights, which really isn't that shabby. Really, it's like one more bridging scene, then the final fight scene, and then that's it. Should have it nailed tomorrow night! (And given that the section I'm rewriting was only 7.1k words originally, everything I write now is straight on top of our wordcount!) ...Also uccmail is back up, yay!
