Today I tried to set up a store on Etsy. TOTAL fail.. I don't have a credit card so I can't pay the little fees. It turns out you can't just use a PayPal account. Whatever! There were mushroom stickers and a mushroom on a rock. Here is what I was going to put on Etsy:<br />

It was about people with synesthesia. In the book there was something called 'The Symphony of Smells'. I thought it was cool so I decided to create my own! (By mistake I deleted one of the photos that had all of the bottles filled. oops!)<br />

I have a youtube channel so I thought I'd show you some of my art. This isn't at all the most recent video but this is one of my favorites. I really like Totoro so I drew the little ones. I had a series where I drew small things from Hayao Miyazaki. I hope you enjoy!<br />

Jon Clue made this piece below that I think is really pretty. I would never be able to do this, not only because it is so difficult but also because it is so time consuming. Suffice it to say, I am not the most patient person you will ever meet.<br />

Part of their journey was to go visit some friends in Prague. Before my parents left, my dad bought some little souvenirs to bring back. These pretty little owls were one of them. I thought they were so neat. The name of the artist who made these is not shown anywhere on these owls.<br />

It shows a mood.<br />

I tried using a regular no. 2 HB pencil but it totally failed. Then yesterday I gave it another shot using a soft charcoal pencil from Faber Castell and I got better results. I drew it starting at the jaw line and only coloring in the shadows. Charcoal was much easier because I could smudge it around and use it as a paint and my finger as a brush. I think it kind of got warped when I scanned it..<br />

They had their own ukes and played much better than I did but I didn't care. Now I have my own uke and I'm getting pretty good. I was looking up pictures of ukuleles and found that there are some pretty cool painted ones.<br />

He sells Nintendo themed collages that are pretty darn cool.<br />

</tbody></table>This coral reef is not your usual coral reef. It is not alive nor is it dead. It is made out of yarn, beads, and other similar materials. Even though it is not an alive coral reef, it has just as vibrant colors as any one. Many people worked long and hard on this reef of porportionte size.

Elephants can paint. They can paint self portraits and still life. It is amazing how these giant creatures can create such beauty. Artists, Komar and Melamid, opened an elephant art academy to teach elephants to paint after a law was put in place that left many elephants without a livelihood. An 8 year old female named Hong can paint elephants holding flowers and the Thai flag. Another elephant, a 5 year old male likes to paint squiggly lines on his canvas. learn more about the artists Komar and Melamid and about the elephant art at <a href="http://www.inspirationline.com/rss/30JUN2008.htm">http://www.inspirationline.com/rss/30JUN2008.htm</a><br />

My mother was so nice to me and was always helping me out but I was so clumsy. I would trip over my own feet. But still, nothing could stop me from rambling in the snow. I loved it. When my mother called me back to her so I could eat, I would stay away, pretending I couldn’t hear. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I was a month, we were passing Yuribey River and I was jumping and playing, having just eaten. My mother told me it was dangerous to play so near to the river muck. She said I could trip and fall into the muck and I wouldn’t be able to escape. I didn’t listen. That was my first big mistake. I went closer to the muck. That was my second mistake. “Come back here! You’re too close. Please, be careful!” My mother was nervous. And she was right to be nervous. I tripped. I told you I was clumsy. I fell. Then I slowly sank into the muck. It was minutes before I was finally released. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Then I saw my mother. She was trumpeting and moaning but I couldn’t get her attention. She was still looking at the muck pit. I tried and tried but she would not stop looking at the muck pit. When she finally left with the rest of the pack, I was alone. But just for a while. I saw a white light on the horizon. It came closer and grew larger as I looked at it. It enveloped my small body and I blacked out. When I came to, I saw a flowing river. I was standing in a field. Then, I felt like I was being pushed but there was no one there. I started swimming to the other side of the river. When I reached the other side, I was exhausted. I fell to the ground and I was dizzy. A white mammoth walked up to me and then another white mammoth walked up to me, and then another. They picked me up and carried me into the middle of ten stone pillars.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The pillars were made out of a rock that was unknown to me. They set me down on the ground. It was made out of rock too. In the center was a swirly blue sphere. In it was an impenetrable mist. When the mist cleared, I saw my mother and her pack roaming the hills. The white mammoths came up to me and signaled at the sphere. They told me that I was in the afterlife. I was confused and they showed me how the sphere worked. It sensed the people you missed and showed you them.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I live in this fertile place that is bursting with knowledge. I have come to know much about my people. I knew little for I was a month old when I left the earth that I so loved. But now I know things that many mammoths don’t know. The elders teach everyone. And the elders are not just mammoths. They are all sorts of animals. And they all glow with wisdom. I am happy here in my afterlife. Who knows what will be next?</span></div>here is the article:<br />
