Haven't been feeling very well of late so it has taken a while for me to feel up to doing any more to the site and adding/updating affiliates (sorry bout that guys, thanks so much for your patience)
I am currently using my uncle's laptop to update from and sadly he doesn't have photoshop and I feel very much like making something right now, but no matter - I'll just add some more links and try to fix a few more little things that need fixing.
Hoping to add a few more pages asap and work out the best place to put the update section lol - I had it worked out for a while but then decided I wanted to change it. One think about me is that I seem to ALWAYS find something in my coding to fiddle with and it never seems to be "perfect" for me hahah. I just realised- I have never really had any experience coding with PHP... Maybe that's my problem... I feel like a lot of my little issues might be resolved if I was actually bothered to figure it out... Hmmmmm...
Thanks guys <3
Finally found some fonts I really like, I hope you all find them legible - please let me know if they are or aren't.
Found some content I will upload today.
Finally have the internet at my place. Will be working on some stuff soon but also pretty busy and starting to get unwell. Just got a SATA to USB adapter in the mail and I'm having fun salvaging some of my old files and resources so I may upload some of my older stuff here soon :)
Will hopefully be getting internet within the next few weeks at my place. If I get bored without it I might make some content to upload or something in the mean time.
Moved into my new place, will be getting internet HOPEFULLY by the 1st of March. Been very busy organising my place the last few days - putting things away where they need to go.
My parents are going to the other side of the country for about 3 months within the week and I'm nervous about it because I'm not very independant right now.
Adding new affiliates now.
I made a button
Moving to a new house soon so I may not get as much done here as I would like in the next few weeks or so, not sure when I will be getting internet. I Got my 2nd BJD in the mail today :'3 I will try to write some back story for her and add some BJD related content at some point!
I have added the basics for all the secondary pages except for the store page.
There is something wrong with some of my coding, I have been tweaking it and ruining it and fixing it and I still can't figure out why every time I try to move something slightly the whole code gets wrecked :(
I'm trying to fix this before making the site prettier.
Sorry for not being very active over the last few months - I'll try to update soon!
So I've been sick for the past 2 weeks and haven't been going to work. I'm starting there as an actual employee at the end of the week which is great so tomorrow is the first day I'll be back since being sick. For some reason I keep getting so anxious about going back after I haven't been for a while - I think I just get out of the swing of it.
Anyways, here is a picture of some of the things I made with resin! Captain Americas shield didn't work out very well and neither did all of the roses but practice makes perfect! Oh and there's also some things I made from Fimo!
I also uploaded some art I did for a friend!
Here is the original scan and here is it digitally coloured!
I just recently got a job at a local craft supply store which is awesome! I've been doing work experience there for the last month or so and they were so impressed they decided to hire me which is pretty great :D I don't start until the week of the 22nd but I'll be doing work experience still up until I start which will be good for them and me hahaha. Pretty stoked about it and I enjoy the work which is good :)
I've got quite a lot of decoden stuff to make now which I still haven't gotten around to doing but heres a sneak peek of the cabochons I've collected to use!
I've also been experimenting with resin the last few days so fingers crossed it turns out and I can do something with it hahah!
Life has been pretty boring recently
I didn't get into Uni, but that's okay - I didn't think I would anyway! I just really need a job ahahaha itjgsdlkvc I've given quite a few places my resume and my job agency tell me that they've been taking it to some people but nothing ever happens so I'm not sure that they're actually trying that hard hahah, oh well.
In other news the obsession I had with Pride and Prejudice in high school has come back damn it all because of The Lizzie Bennet Diaries!
I have way too many feels right now (DAMN YOU BERNIE SU DAMN YOU HANK GREEN DAMN YOU ASHLEY CLEMENTS DAMN YOU DANIEL VINCENT GORDH DAMN YOU EVERYONE ELSE)
I also started watching Dexter! It was a little creepy at first because it was a little more graphic than some other crime shows I'm used to watching, but other than the victims of the Ice Truck Killer you don't really see anything so I kind of desensitised myself and forced myself to stop thinking about it lol! But it's quite a good show I think, I'm a little hooked. I finished the first season and today I bought the second and third.
My cousin also gave me a butt load of anime to watch so I need to get on to that!!!
Yesterday I did this art meme! I started doing an X Files one too!
I watched The Perks of Being a Wallflower! As I told you recently, I'd just read the book and it was pretty good! I didn't think the movie was going to be that great, but it was a lot better than I'd expected - I would say that I probably like it an equal amount to the book!
Oh I've been reading The Hobbit!!! It's quite good, I'm only halfway through so far and a lot has already happened!
I also just read Looking for Alaska by John Green and I just asdfghjklfghjkasdfghjkl I just really love John and Hank Green!!!! NERDFIGHTERS DON'T FORGET TO BE AWESOME!!!!
Alright so I've had a good couple of months, which has been awesome!
My friend from Japan who was staying over left on the 10th of December I miss her a lot! I can't wait until I'm finally able to go back to Japan!
I am no longer a teenager which is a bit odd.
I'm currently super obsessed with The Lizzie Bennet Diaries and Le Miserables!
Round 1 Uni Offers are on the 17th of this month so literally Thursday. I just want to move out already!!! And I need to go for my drivers license!!!
I just added a makeup tutorial and a few other bits and pieces.
I hope everything is well with you guys!!!
So sorry for being inactive for so long, but I have some good news!!! I have successfully finished coding a theme for tumblr which I've posted here for public use!
I've finished all the assignments for my class and I just have to hand the last one in tomorrow.
I tried re-installing Photoshop and it's partially worked - but a few parts of the program aren't working which is SUPER annoying. I'm going to have to try to fix it at some point. Hahaha gosh I need a new computer.
Once that's all fixed I think I want to change the layout of the site, I'm not sure yet. It depends on how much time I have and stuff.
Oh, I got the wireless thing for my tablet :D so that's awesome!
I finally read Stardust by Neil Gaiman - it was super amazing! I haven't started reading anything else yet - but I have been watching Psych and I am up to season 3. Oh, also this season (5) of Castle is AMAZING so far :D
Sorry I haven't updated in a while :( My computer is full of junk and Photoshop stopped working on it a while ago and then my uncle's computer died and it no longer has photoshop :'( so sad/annoying!
I've been doing a Small Business Management class with my parents as my father wishes to start a small telecommunications business. I find it quite boring, but I get qualifications at the end of it.
I've applied to University but apparently I won't hear about my Uni application until December/January (unless I mange to get an early application which is doubtful) - which is a bit of a nuisance because I'll have to move to go there and the classes will more than likely start in February, giving me roughly a month to find a home! I hope everything all works out.
My friend from Japan is here! So I have moved in with my Uncle, Aunt and Cousin to help look after her! I am so glad - living with my parents is so stressful and I honestly don't think it's really good for my health. I mean, I love my family a lot, but they are often very hard to deal with and because I have a fair amount of anxiety/emotional issues it doesn't help at all.
I really need to buy a wireless thingy for my tablet I just haven't had the money yet.
My Aunt and a few of the other girls in my family have started an Etsy! Currently specialising in Baby clothes/toys/ect! Please be sure to check it out if you're interested, we'd appreciate it a lot :3 I will be adding some things I make - such as hair accessories - ASAP!
I've been reading stacks - I finally finished reading The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets' Nest, Millennium was such a good series! I read Perks of Being a Wallflower (it was brilliant, I wish I'd read it in high school) and 50 Shades of Grey (you can read my review of it here lol)
I'm now reading Stardust (Which I've been wanting to read F O R E V E R) I also reccently bought some Keats' poetry and Shopaholic Abroad. I also have Starters as well as a few other books to read (including Joanna Lumley's Autobiography hahah!).
There's two tutorials up! I hope they make sense! Still tweaking things here and there.
Ugh I am really annoyed at how this site is not really getting anywhere at the moment. I'm looking at the stuff I have up here and it isn't even to my standard of work - I guess it;s mostly because half the stuff was done in a hurry or on gimp. I want to delete it all lol but then there'll be nothing on the site V_V;;;
As I've stated before, photoshop died on my laptop because it's too full of crap and I use my uncle's desktop when I can. BUT my uncle's computer is worse than mine!!! It has so much rubbish on the CPU that it can't cope and it takes fooooooorever to do anything!
On a good note I finally got a Wacom Tablet! I have been wanting one for longer than I can remember and it's so fun to use, I love it!
I was hoping to make some tutorials, but it depends on if I have the time to wait for this damn piece of junk to do anything -___-
So sorry not to have updated all month! I swear I was going to, but had no inspiration for a while, got distracted, and then my Nan passed away :/
I'm not really sure when I'll be updating properly again, I have a few ideas of things I want to add - just life keeps getting in the way.
Hope to be regular asap, xoxo Beck.
Added a recolor (made with Gimp, therefore crappy), some PSDs, and a 1400x900 X Files Wallpaper!
I have a PNG extraction of Rachel McAdams up! It probably could be a little cleaner in areas, but I was a little rushed for time.
I didn't add any updates for the past few days because I've been pretty busy u__u;
I've tweaked stuff here and there, as usual, and added some more things I've made - they aren't very good ;__; but hopefully I'll get better once I start getting back into the swing of it.
I've got a few affiliates now too! (: - The ATLM girls @trainwreck and Ashlei@true blue blends!!! Go check them out and say hi!!!
I have applied to be affies with a fair few other sites as well - but I think that my email might be playing up so I'm not sure if anyone else has accepted or not!
There are still a few minor things that need tweaking with the layout of the site
I've added a few more things and took down some links that won't be working for a while.
Gimp is better than the online editors I was using but is no way near as good as Photoshop as far as I'm concerned - probably because I know my way around Photoshop. There are things on Gimp I couldn't find that I use all the time on PS so :( but so the things I was making from Gimp aren't up to my personal standard of quality
Hopefully I'll get an opportunity to finish everything soon.
Re-downloaded Gimp because I had the biggest craving to make things! Finished and uploaded a wallpaper I'd been working on at my uncle's house. Think I might make some blends and just mess around next time I'm on the computer. Speaking of which I've discovered that when my screen messes up if I bang my laptop against the desk it goes back to normal haha! I'm sure it can't be good for my computer, and I definetly do need a new one anyways, but at least I'm all functional now
Every day is a step closer to making this site public!!!
Also, I need affiliates haha.
Well I am off to bed seeing as it is actually technically the 18th now
Today I made 4 signature/banner graphics. They can be used for pretty much whatever I guess.
Plan on making graphics as much as I can while I'm at the uncle's.
I think I'm almost ready to start giving people the link for this site
Stay tuned!!!
I haven't added any updates over the past few weeks as my computer is broken. It's most likely the graphics card so I need to get a new computer. I'm unable to use photoshop which sucks, so I've just been focussing on adding content to the 'about' pages.
It might be a while before I get a new computer - but if there is ever anything I need to do on photoshop I can do it at my uncle's house.
I am still a bit unsure of what kind of content I should add first haha! But hopefully it won't be too long until there's something here at least!
But surf around a bit and see what I've done so far :)
Today I've created all the pages I want for the site so far and I'm going to work from there.
There currently isn't any actual content - aside from a bit of a blurb and a few links to resources. I'm a little nervous to make a start on the actual content, haha, but hopefully there will be some things of interest on the page over the next few days and weeks.
Pages exist though! Stuff is being done!!!
Today I got an email from Misaki at Three-Words saying that she had approved my application to be hosted! I was so excited and got started right away!
I have created a range of sites over the years - purely for fun. Web design is something I find to be an enjoyable challenge.
I hope to get as much dont today as I can! Thankfully I'd already made the graphics and a basic outline of a layout :)
