Spore

 Spore is a game where you create a creature, then try to evolve it from a cell to explore space and stuff. It's really fun and weird, even though I don't believe in evolution. It's made by the creators of the Sims 3.

 This beauty right here is Dr. Turd. In Spore, you can customize your creature down to the shape of its body and its markings. Dr. Turd is very excited to be here right now.
Dr. Turd: OMG HAI GUYS I'M SO HAPPY TO BE HERE EEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111
Moving on.

 This is one of my creatures that I named the Aliasta. It can fly and it had a unicorn horn.

 Now an Aliasta is floating.
Aliasta: I'm just that awesome.
You shut up. I'm controlling you.

 Aliasta: WHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW!

 The creatures have nests and lay eggs. In Spore, you can see planets sometimes in the sky.

 The heck is this creature?
Weird derpy creature: O_O

 The Aliasta has a civilization now. Right now, there is this epic hologram thingy trying to convert a city. In the background you can see some of my vehicles.

 MOAR BATTLEZ!

 Epic creatures are these huge honkin' creatures that can kill you in a millisecond.

 This one puts its butt in the air like it just doesn't care .

 One of my main creatures (I always forget their names) is looking at an epic creature. DON'T LET IT KILL YOU.
Main creature: Derp?

 Another one? Honestly, this one looks like a bulldog.
Main creature: DEEEEERP?

 MC: I believe I can fly...

 What kind of terrifying  adorable creatures are these?

 Seriously? Another one?
MC: *Gettin his swag on* DERP.

 Creepin'.

 Look how huge these bones are! '-'

 Karru: My family is better than yours.
YOU DON'T KNOW NUTHIN

 What kind of eggs are these? They're extremely creepy.

 Karru: *happy*

 Preeeeeeeeety.

 Great. Now Karru is floating.
Karru: Water! Sun! Tree! I LUV DA WORLD

 In this picture, you can see a Karru flying, a planet, a weird nest of ogre/gorilla/idon'tknow things, and sparkly bones. This game is so normal.

And we finish off this post with a lonely Karru and an egg.

Karru:

Thanks for reading! I hope you like Spore. I'll post more screenshots another time. Bye brochachos!

TO ADVENTUREEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our Beautiful New Workspace

Where art happens.
A.K.A my dining room table. We barely use it anyway. Mom and I moved our stuff from the living room to the dining room.

Gaze upon its messy glory.

Tutorial! How to frost your polymer clay creations

 

Before we start, TLS (translucent liquid sculpey) is a thing that you mix with clay to make the frosting.

It does a lot of other stuff, but we won't get into that now. This is what you need: TLS, soft clay, something to put the frosting on, and something to mix with.

 Add some TLS to your clay.

 Start mixing it.

 As you can see, it's like really lumpy.

 MOAR TLS!

 Much better. Now it's smooth.

 With your mixin' stick, start to add some frosting to whatever it is you want to frost. I'm going to make a cookie.

 Theeere we go! It doesn't have to be perfect. You can add sprinkles or something if you want.

Here are two cookies that I'm making.

Thanks for reading! I hope this helped to fulfill your frostingy dreams. :)

Tutorial! How to make paper scenes for your pictures

 In this tutorial, I'll show you how to make a background or scene with scrapbook paper. This is pretty useful in case you want to take outdoor pictures but it's raining. This one is a grassy field.

 This one is a beach.

 You'll need 2 pieces of scrapbook paper; one for the background, one for the floor I found these at the craft store.

 Put a piece of tape on the back of the back piece.

 Place your floor paper next to a wall. This makes it a lot easier to put the back piece up. XD

 Stick the back paper to the wall right above your floor paper.

 It should look something like this. Make sure you don't get the words at the top (if your back paper has them) in the pictures. It takes away the realism. You can add doll furniture, rocks, fake plants, and other decorative junk in your scene if you want to. Now that you know how, you can make beaches, grassy fields, rooms, or whatever you want to make out of paper. :)

 Have fun! :D Thanks for reading! I hope this helped you make some cool scenes! :3

Clay Treats

 Today I made some cool clay things: some cake, and some cookies. Here's Howleen ready to eat them to show their teensy size.
Howleen: Stop taking pictures. I want to eat my cake in peace.

 The cake has a slice cut out of it. The frosting is a mixture of super soft light blue clay and liquid clay (I'l post a tutorial and more stuff about liquid clay later.). I textured the inside of the cake to make it realistic and more cakey. :P

 This is the slice taken from the cake. It has a cakey texture, too.
Howleen: GIMME DA CAKE.

 Here are the cookies. Cleo is holding them to show how stinking tiny small they are.

 (Sorry, the cookies are out of focus.) They are supposed to be frosted chocolate cookies. The purple frosting is a mix of the pink and leftover blue frosting.

 A closeup of the treats.

 And a closeup of the cake slice. It's puny.

 Bonus shot of dolls eating food.
Thanks for reading! I hope you liked my clay stuff! :D

My Little Friend

When I was taking pictures outside last night, I found this guy next to my deck. I watched him and took a buttload of (bad) pictures of him. I got a whole lot of mosquito bites too. WORTH IT.
