HOARDER NEXT DOOR

I know I have talked about the old lady that lives by my old lady next door who is a hoarder. Now, on this day I was going to take her some beans and rice. When I got over there I couldn't find a spot to put the meal. This space is just the kitchen. That path where she is standing is honestly a path and it starts at the front door, to that area and tightens up from the living room to the bedroom. The clutter and smell is overwhelming and it has began to show its ugly head outside where she throws out pieces randomly.

Trying somehow to make sense of this mess outside of her front door is like being low IQ and trying to understand Quantum Physics. I sometimes think she is trying to decorate her front lawn or possibly doing a bit of landscaping. My heart goes out to her because she is obviously dealing with dementia/Alzheimer's and that scares me because I never know what to expect. She is a dear soul and a lovely lady but she doesn't know what she is doing. 

More of my Internet finds. ENJOY

Because I love anything that is beautiful and works with my senses as far as color, rhythms, and even movements I have stumbled upon a great artist who can produce tears to those who see his works. The word PERROQUET with all of his talent has quite possibly the most beautiful works I have witnessed so far. There are stills and slow motion videos that are out of this world. I would just suggest you sit back and get ready to have your mind blown by the beauty of this amazing website. 

Another beauty I found on the Internet is for anyone who loves art or gardens or both. There is a man in Australia who has combined the both to give viewers hours of beauty. Brunos Art and Sculpture Garden has over three hundred amazing photos of amazing beauty. I know you will enjoy this tremendously.

THINGS I LOVE

It is no secret to those who know me in real life that I love fingernail polish, nail art, anything that has to do with fingernails. I have this desire to try every design I see out on my left hand. I have thought about taking pictures of my designs, but I can change a design more than 14 times in a day when I can't stop the rituals of my OCD. The art, the paint, the design, and the layers are all encompassed into this ritual that takes a life of it's own frequently. I can go through a bottle of nail polish in one day if I am out of control. 

I decided with this blog I would show you some of the designs I have tried on my fingernails, which are no less than 15 mm from the quick at all times. I try to keep them between 15mm and 25mm for my own comfort but always the exact same length with every nail. If one breaks, I will cut all of them off so they can grow back at the same rate. This rarely happens because my nails are quite possibly in the best condition where breaking is not common.

I keep square shaped nails so that I can keep an exact amount of length on each nail. I obsess over the shape almost as much as I do over the length. I find that a fingernail file allows me to perfect both. The above photo of the fingernails would never work out for me. Although the design is amazing and I happen to love both color and design, if you look closely you can see that nearly each  nail is of different size and shape with the thumb nail too close to the quick. I have tried this look on my own nails, and because I am limited to polish color occasionally the results came out a bit different. It still looked quite beautiful to me and I kept it on for close to 30 minutes before moving on to another design and color.

 Okay, so blue is not my color, but I wanted to show how natural nails can be painted to look like fake nails. I figured this out by painting the tip edge to make it all rounded and seem thicker. This was two coats over a base coat followed by a top coat to seal it. They look quite dull but  this was after a full day of wearing this. Notice the squareness of each nail and the exact length of 18mm on the left hand. I am not quite sure why my thumb is not in this picture, but I can tell you it is the exact length as the rest of them.

Another thing I love to do is make the henna hand designs on my left hand using Elmer's glue. After I am finished designing the patterns that I look up online, I then spread the glue all over my hand and allow it to dry completely. Once it is dried I will find the perfect part to pull up and try to pull off all the dry glue in one pull. This has never actually happened to me but I always strive to do just that.
