Alrighty let me answer my questions from Hena 🙂

Question #1. Why did you start blogging?

Answer: I wanted a place to show case the little creations I have made and keep a chronological order of them so my friends, family, and new friends can see the progress. And also a place to talk randomly about life or whatever comes to mind ^_^

Question #2) Books or movies?

Answer: Books preferably, though if I am going to watch a movie it is probably anime or some kind of lesser-known movie.

Question #3) What is one of your most embarrassing moment?

Answer: Ah dang, seriously? （￣～￣;）Hokay well I have a lot to choose from LOL So, I will have to pick the time I wasn’t feeling well in class and I had my head laying down on the desk and crying. This guy came up to me and asked if I needed to talk about anything, I said no, and he replied that anytime I need someone to talk to I could go to him. That was cool cause I thought he was super cute and kinda had a crush on him. Well, I got to feeling worse and whispered in my best friends ear why I wasn’t feeling good, then asked the teacher to go to the nurses office. When I returned from the nurses, the guy from earlier blurted out to the whole class “Are you done having your period yet?!” Everyone busted out laughing. I was mortified. Turned out when I told my best friend another student over heard her, and in turn told the first guy, who I guess was embarrassed for having offered emotional support when it was really girly pains killing me. Yeah, that was embarrassing for a number of reasons,

Question #4) Do you sing?

Answer: Only when I think no one is listening, and at karaoke. I ❤ karaoke. I recently quit smoking cigarettes (yay 3 weeks as of yesterday) and am looking forward to having a good singing voice again and kicking butt at some karaoke. ヘ(^_^ヘ)(ノ^_^)ノ

Question #5) What is something you would really like to try? (Now go make it your goal)

Answer: I would really like to try my hand at sewing again. Though I do not have a sewing machine at this time, I might get one. Soooo we will see ^_^

Question #6) What would you do on a rainy day?

Answer: Make a cup of something nice to sip on, or some soup if it’s cold outside, open the blinds, and watch the rain come in. Sometimes I will play my “rainy day music” and sing along to that, unless someone is home. >.<

Question #7) Choose one word that describes you?

Answer: I think those who know me would agree: Random :p

Question #8) What do you dislike about blogging?

Answer: I can’t really come up with anything other than petty personal issues (like not being able to get my pictures to come out right or not making things fast enough to have more posts)

Question #9) Who inspires you?

Answer: Many people inspire me in different aspects of life. As for art, decoden, and clay, I have to give a big shout out to the YouTube clay makin’ ladies who’s videos I have watched time and time again – ToniEllison, MyPetiteCakes, PaperPastels, CoolRiceBunnies, and everyone at Sweetorials. If you are into clay and other Japanese type cute stuff, I highly recommend checking out their channels.

As for other aspects of life, my Mother is a big inspiration to me because she was able to raise up my brothers and I to be the awesome people we are today. Thanks, mom!

Also I would like to name Davy Crockett and Sam Houston as my historical figures of inspiration 🙂

Question #10) What do you want to eat right this moment? (you can’t say you’re not hungry)

Answer: How did you know!?!? I want some Breakfast Tacos, and we are all out at home right now V_V MMmmm tacos con salsa son muy delicioso! ( ^‐^) But I will settle with drinking this coffee instead, because it is delicious as well.

If you couldn’t tell by the title I am super excited about this new batch of charms. Go ahead and check em out 🙂

This is a panda bear holding a taco. I made it for a friend so I hope he likes it as much as I do!

This little guy is from the show Adventure Time. I have never seen the show personally, but my boyfriend is a big fan and likes this character so I made a charm for him. It came out realllllly good, I am having a hard time letting him take the charm hehehe

This is the back of BMO so you can see he is pretty detailed.

First attempt at a bubble gum machine. I am really fond of those things so expect more in the future ^_^

Alright well that’s it for now. As always if you would like to see me make something, feel free to leave a comment below. It’s easier to figure out what to make when I have requests rather than sitting there wanting to make allll the things :p

Ciao friends!

✿✿ New Sweets are here :) ✿✿

(^-^*)/ｺﾝﾁｬ! Sorry I haven’t updated in a long time. Been pretty busy with all this real life stuff. Anyways, on with the show!

This is a blueberry cake which was inspired by a youtube video. I think it looks pretty realistic ^_^

This little slice has a leaf sprig and some extra blueberries to be even more cute.

There are macaron cookie sandwiches.
This was the first time I made a little face on a sweet :p I really like the cuteness factor so expect more faces in the future.

Yay the first worthy tart that I have made!! Finally I have a good mold or two for them. Now I am working on more miniature fruits to put in future tarts.
At least Project TART is now almost complete 😉

The witch is from Wicked, this was a practice version I made prior to completing the movie poster charm.
The candy corn and the wicked witch will most likely go on a Halloween themed box of some sorts.

I meant to upload images of a couple ice cream cones I made. One of them looks very very real ^_^. But, the stupid camera didn’t focus right on the ice cream cones, so they will have to be retaken. They deserve their own post as it is.

Thanks for checking out the latest from the sweets factory. (^ _ ^)/~~サヨナラ

☠☠ No One Mourns the Wicked ☠☠

Since I have been on this Wicked kick lately, I decided to make a charm of the poster image for the play:

I wonder what Glinda is telling Elphaba.

Yeah I know, it looks pretty crappy, the lines aren’t too smooth, Elphaba’s smile looks like something off Sesame Street, and it’s kinda got a wobbly border. This is the first attempt, I don’t think it’s *too* bad considering that fact, though I will try again in the future to make a better one. My cousins and their kids love Wicked so these would make good Christmas gifts for them. 🙂

ღღ Miniature Teddy Bear ღღ

August 3, 2013DecoJenn Charms 2 Comments

So I woke up a couple mornings ago and first thing I saw was my teddy bear Brownie. He’s been with me since I was a baby, so I am really attached to this bear. When I go spend the night out, I still pack him along. Anyways, when I saw Brownie the other morning, I thought I should make a clay version. Here he is below, Mini Brownie ^_^

The original Brownie is a bean filled chubby little guy with a goofy smile and tiny eyes that are slightly crooked. I tried to replicate those attributes with the mini version.

When I was a kid, I imagined that Brownie was a “Circus Bear”, because his yellow collar kind of reminded me of what a clown would wear. Now the collar is very faded and the stretchy band in it has all but worn out :(. At least he is still in over all good health and now has a mini friend ｵｶｴﾘ♪(ﾉ´∀｀*)ﾉ

Hope everyone is having a good weekend!!

I have been talking about making this for a while, and finally got to create it today.

Any other Candy Crush fans out there will know exactly what this is. ＼（＾＾）／

*dances around wildly*
ホーリー！！( ・_・）ノ　ζ|||ζ
I did it! ^_^

Here is a side view so you can see the texture and depth.

This is the Candy Crush icon on a cellular phone, for the uninitiated 😛

Have a good night/day/whatever time it is where you are!

°o° Donuts and another friend °o°

August 1, 2013DecoJenn Donuts, Mickey Mouse Leave a comment

Since I don’t really like to eat donuts, cause they are soooooo bad for you, I like to make them and still appreciate the aesthetic value, without worrying of any spoiling. So here are more sweets to feast the eyes upon. (’-’*) フフ

Mickey Mouse Doughnut.
I made this for that special person in my life since he loves Mickey. It came out pretty much exactly how I imagined it. 🙂

Here is the side so you can see the frosting-y donut-ness.

90’s doughnuts.
Wooooo! now where are my neon colored sunglasses?!

Hello Kitty Candy Pop. There is still debate around here as to whether this is an ice cream popsicle or candy lollipop. Either way, I think it's cute ^_^

Alright sorry if you want to eat some sweets now X_X

Oh my, a song about a sweet tooth just played randomly on my music mix. It’s a sign; go ahead n’ indulge 😛
