Preview of the Kitchen Project

Here is a preview of the concrete countertops, the epoxy makes it shiny. The wall behind the countertop is only painted half way because the old countertops had a little backsplash built into it. We are thinking of a tile that will go well with the countertops for the backsplash, we just haven't found it yet. We've been working non-stop for the past few days to try to finish up the kitchen. We are so close to being done, I am super excited! Soon, I will have the kitchen tutorial ready to go.

Keep posted, I believe that we will have the kitchen done within the next couple of weeks. Visit: facebook.com/caliradan, twitter.com/caliradan, instagram.com/caliradan. Happy Imagining!

Working on the Kitchen Project... I Will be Back Soon!

We've been busy with the kitchen project and I haven't done any new projects lately, sorry about that, but they will resume soon. Meanwhile, enjoy this photo of a sunset I took in November a few years ago.

I will be back soon with other projects, hopefully the kitchen is done soon, too. Happy Imagining!

If You're Freezing Tonight, Here's a Picture of Warm Mexico!

I was thinking about how cold it has been here in Denver... then, thinking I am definitely glad that I am not in Minneapolis! I thought about last winter, and we had a mild winter up until James and I left for our honeymoon at the end of February 2013, it was snowing when we left for Mexico... perfect timing! Here is a picture from Chichen Itza last February, I think it was in the 80's. I wish we were back there now... oh well...

Please visit me on the interwebs, I promise I will be posting more projects soon: facebook.com/caliradan, twitter.com/caliradan, instagram.com/caliradan. Happy Imagining!

Happy Clouds Over My Neighborhood

I think these clouds look like they're straight out of a painting. This was looking out my living room window tonight, as the sun was setting. I really want to get a digital SLR, I think that would be awesome. I love taking pictures! If anyone has a digital SLR or knows of a good one, I would like to know.

I hope everyone is having a happy new year, so far. Happy Imagining!

Damn It, Jim!

Here is the other ornament that was a gift from my Mom. Obviously, it's James Tiberius Kirk from the original Star Trek. My Mom bought Star Trek ornaments because my Dad was a huge fan, or, more commonly known as a Trekkie.

Well, I'm still working on different things. Kind of have a artist block going on right now, but, I have some ideas brewing in my head. Please leave a comment, let me know what you think. Visit me @ facebook.com/caliradan, twitter.com/caliradan, instagram.com/caliradan. Happy Imagining!

Ch-Ch-Ch-Cherry Blossom!

I like the macro setting on my camera, though, I rarely have the opportunity to use it. My goal is to take macro shots of snow flakes, that will definitely be a challenge. This is one of my favorite macro shots, a tiny cherry blossom.

Well, everyone have a happy Friday. Happy Imagining!

The Clover and The Flower

I found some of my first polymer clay forms, my first attempts to sculpt something. The clover was actually to get rid of the light green because I used it in a cane before this, and it was really hard to work with in a cane. So, I made a giant 4-leaf clover. The pink and white flower was to practice a gradient from one color clay to another, which is called a skinner blend gradient. Once I perfect the skinner blend, I will do a tutorial on it; but as of now, I am not good at it.

Here is a picture to show how big the 4-leaf clover is.
