latest lustings...

i've been watching the ear cuff trend for ages now, and still believe if you're not in a position to diy yourself something of this nature then Style Hurricane is the place to be buying your own piece of ear cuffing goodness.  the way the feathers get caught up the wind and hair is really whimsical and peaceful to look at.  i got my own earring variation made especially for me as a surprise for Christmas by the clever Claire at Madame Fancy Pants (pic to be loaded soon...)  i've also been seriously lusting after a 'behind the ear' tattoo for ages now.  i haven't been able to really pin point what i want there though until now....and i'm swaying to the feathers for this one too.  the beauty of a behind the ear tattoo is you don't have to show the thing off all the time.  hair down or even behind your ears can mostly cover a tattoo in this area depending on how big it is.  of course i'd design it myself and would most definitely use colour as opposed to just black, and i'd personally be designing something far far more delicate than any images i could find on the internet.

images via google give an indication but are not nearly delicate enough for my liking!

if i could do one thing before i die...

ive been wanting a tattoo for a loooooonnnng time.  the problem being im really (eek) fussy and i want it done right.  like EXACTLY how it appears in my head. i actually can translate this from my head onto paper the problem is..well it looks like a painting.  about now, people probably think yeah well we all want our tattoos to look like that duh (??) but im talking a painting that has brush strokes and blends of colour that you only find with WET PAINT.  five years has ticked by with me still lusting silently and wanting and i have finally found THE ARTIST TO DO IT. small issue she lives in NYC ..hey sweet as i guess im booking a holiday.

ive been through her site but found a few of these just via google.  i canNOT believe her work looks like paint!! paint that is just on you..either splattered or painted on with a brush...you know the kind that washes off???  if you think im crazy just have a close close look, this woman has so many skills she is off the freaken richter scale!   

words cant really explain how i feel about this post. i want this so bad it brings tears.  maybe it might for you too...or maybe you will be like so what??  check it:



ps the image that clinched it for me is the last one.  myself? well im after a half sleeve of peony flowers tattooed 'degas' styles (but not colours).... by this chick.  not asking for much huh?



if  you aren't familiar with 'degas' below would be some of his works..ah just sublime xx
