WIP: Mermaid Tail.

So tonight I finished half of the mermaid tail I am making as a cosplay project.

Here are some shots I took as I went along!



Still have to do part of the back of the fun and go over it all again before it will be ready for the next step!

Kimeru: Character Design

Yesterday Andrew and I decided to pick up my friend Ashley and head to the cities to go to the mall of America.

There we went to a few shops and I got a few stickers for my art journal.
Then at 6:15pm we went to build a bear workshop where I made this little kitty who I named Kimeru.



I decided I am going to make her into a whole new character design for myself and keep her as a purple tabby female who loves fashion designing.

 
Her pony scarf was made by me and I pierced her ears.

Not sure if I'm going to keep the cheap dolly hair or change it to soft fur yet. We will see.

Check back for more updates on what I do with her!••

Art Journal: Roots

Zest and I went to the park yesterday afternoon when I was upset about something I saw at Walmart earlier that day.

Here is what I drew for stress relief.

What happened at Walmart was this boy about 8-years-old being cruel to who I'm guessing was his little sister about age 4.
He was throwing her around and kicked her. I told him he shouldn't do that and he replied "then she should listen to me." And he didn't stop so I got management. 

I just hope that little girl is safe at home.

Hand Made Jewelry [T1D Alert Necklace]

I made two new wearable things today.

First is the wire braided cotton wrapped bracelet.

Second is my favorite so far. My own chocker collar with medical awareness on it! I took the medical sign off an old keychain and poked a hole though it with a thumb tack. Used a paw print clasp and I love it to bits!

Close up!

Diabetic Project

Hello everyone!
As most of you may know by now I am a type 1 diabetic since I was 2-years-old.
I got my first insulin pump when I started first grade and had to get off it about 2 years ago because my insurance wouldn't cover my supplies anymore.

Well a month ago I got new insurance that is allowing me to get back on my pump and off shots! (yay!)

In order to do this I have to keep a food log and really good track of my blood sugars in order to prove I can handle a pump again.

Now I am really bad at writing all this info down all day long. As it involves taking the paperwork with me everywhere, like work, out with friends, soon to be college. EVERYWHERE.

So I decided to make it a project for me then I will like to do this so I can make it pretty and fun to do!

I will need to keep track of:
  • blood sugars
  • food intake
  • insulin amounts
To do this I set up a folder to hold all my paperwork to recorded these things when they happen.


Here is to better A1Cs, Weight, Cholesterol, and all together better health!

-Aika<3

Update!
P.S. I will be labeling these posts under the "T1D" tag.

Commission: Lari

This was a special commission my friend hired me to draw her a fursona.

She wanted a cow crossed with Pegasus. Colored purple and blue with artist freedom.
Character design by Serena Aika Pruess
Owned by Nicole Martell.


Hope you love it as much as I do girl! <3
