Channeling Galadriel

November 20, 2012

Brian is a big Lord of the Rings fan, and with The Hobbit coming out in December we decided that a series viewing was in order. I’ve never been a huge fan, but watching it miniseries-style has been pretty awesome for me. We watched the entire, extended edition collection in under 2 hour increments, and I have to say that I liked it much better this time than the previous times that I’ve watched. This can’t say good things about me and my attention span.

Galadriel manages to be Earthy and other-worldly all at the same time. A lot of greenery and a lot of sparkle are perfect for her.

Channeling CJ

November 6, 2012

Today is election day, and while I am one of those people who will be happy to see this day go, I thought that in the spirit of the day it would be fun to feature my favorite female political character, C.J. Cregg.

C.J. is diplomacy to a tee, has an incredible wit, and a little bit of quirkiness to boot. She can take on the world with humor and grace all at the same time. Basically, she rocks.

Are you a West Wing fan? It’s kind of my favorite show ever. Happy Election Day!

Note: this was by far the hardest Channeling post to do so far, partly because C.J. is a workaholic, like everyone else on the show, but also because I just came up with dead ends on a lot of stuff. C.J. also likes goldfish crackers (and gets a pet goldfish) and apparently drinks grasshoppers- but pictures were nowhere to be found.

Channeling Hermione

October 9, 2012

I don’t know about you, but to me, nothing says fall quite like Harry Potter. Scarves, pumpkins, Halloween- even Gryffindor burgundy and gold seems to be an ode to fall. And who better to usher us into the season than Hermione Granger?

Hermione is a no-nonsense kind of girl- she’s confident and comfortable in her own skin. She likes to follow tradition, but she’s not afraid to break the rules either. Timeless patterns and neutral colors suit her best.

Channeling Ariel

September 25, 2012

So I’m clearly not trying very hard to not use Disney chracters… but I’m still getting my feet wet with this thing, and I find that excitement is the only thing that keeps me going when I’m making a collage. And if Beauty and the Beast was my favorite childhood movie, The Little Mermaid was a very close second.

Let’s be real- Ariel likes to break the rules. She loves to have fun and she dances at every opportunity. She’s fearless when it comes to bright colors, and she’s of the opinion that a little sparkle never hurt anyone either.
