David Bowie and some other stuff

Hi! Remember me? Maren? I used to blog here alot. But alas, it was summer. I was busy swimming and travelling and doing things at camp. Yes, I returned from art camp last week and it was SO much fun! I made a friend (YAY!) and I painted David Bowie! We did some other stuff, but painting was my favourite.


We had to choose a person who we admired, like a celebrity or a singer. It was funny because someone would come over to me and say, "who's that?" I would say, "David Bowie." to which the response was, "who's that?". Then I would go and see what other people were doing, and say "who's that?" "oh it's (insert name of pop star here)" and then I'd say, "who's that?" . Hee heeee. Yeah, I had a REALLY good time! It was so fun!

And then this week I am helping my mom organize an art room at the school she teaches at! Her boss told me that anything I wanted, I could have! So naturally I brought a huge box home.



flowers, disco ball and lace

glitter spray, glitter glue and mod podge

fabric

beads and rhinestones!
In other news, I chopped more than half of my hair off! (Actually, my hairdresser did, not me.)

 
 
And I'm getting total kind of 90's grunge vibes here, don't you agree? ( the photo is all grainy, i don't know why.)

 And school starts on Thursday. Bye bye summer. :(

Grab your Mother's keys, we're leaving

Hi all! This is what I wore today:


Top-thrifted  Jeans- Forever 21  Shoes-???


Pretty ruffles on the shirt
A few days ago someone asked me if I was trying to be "hipster". NO! I am not "trying" to be anything. My style is unique, it's not "hipster" or anything like that. Sure, it may have components, like 60's or 70's or a certain vibe, but I am not TRYING to look anything. I just wear what I like. What I like is what I wear.
So this will probably be my last post until next weekish because exams are next week and I'll be studying this week and stuff. . Here is some tres tres interessant musique (hee hee. practicing for the french exam) I want to show you! Bye for a while!
Arcade Fire-Rebellion (Lies)

David Bowie-Queen Bitch

Neutral Milk Hotel- Holland, 1945

The Beatles-Let it Be

Simon & Garfunkel- Sounds of Silence

Happy friday


Accidental hair show-off :)
                                    
So I sewed some little flowers on one of my favourite shirts. I've had this shirt since march, I got it when I went to Fargo. I sewed the flowers on last month. I am really lazy and I am comfy in my chair and I didn't want to get up and upload pictures so I used my web cam instead.

DID YOU HEAR??? ROOKIE IS DOING A TOUR THIS SUMMER IN THE STATES! I WANT TO GOOOOOO!!!! The closest place is Chicago, and I think I have exams when they go. :'( Boo hoo. I am crushed. I WANT TO EAT ICE CREAM WITH TAVI AND PETRA AND ANAHEED AND PETRA'S SISTER AND BOYFRIEND. You have to read the article to get that.
BLEEEEEEEEEEEH. I'm going to go and make things and put them on a string to hang on my ceiling and listen to David Bowie to drown my sorrows.


p.s what could I do to make my blog look less boring? thoughts and suggestions would be rather helpful.
