Ooh, I almost missed any part of celebrating Mardi Gras! Well, if I insist on a few more days of celebration,
Universal Studios carries the theme til April 23.
This is one of those designs I have swirling around in my brain looking for a way to manifest. Here's what I used as my inspiration...
This is a pin I got when I was working in Louisiana, one year, during Mardi Gras. I didn't GO to Mardi Gras but I was around New Orleans while it was being celebrated. In many of my travels, I will purchase a piece of jewelry to remember the event or the place. I have had this pin for about 10 years and still wear it during Mardi Gras.
The color scheme is yellow, green and purple. And I added in OPI's Black Shatter to the look...
Here's Cosmetic Arts' creme yellow, BB Couture's 'Caterpillar', Cosmetic Art's creme purple and the OPI Black Shatter.
Send them to a party and this is what they come up with...
Mardi Gras Mani Madness!!!
I painted on the colors in a diagonal stripe alternating directions on each finger. After drying, I put on a layer of Shatter. I liked it so much, I had to run over to my hubs and show it off. I got the gratuitous 'oh, ah, yes!' from him.
Well, I think it's cute! I just wish I would have thought of it last night instead of tonight. I'm still going to wear it tomorrow. No one handed me a rule book!
Last weekend was the 70th anniversary of the Daytona Bike Week. My hubs and I went as he had never been before. And we had a blast. Here's the thumb ring I got to commemorate the event...
Do you have any objects that you like to collect during your travels or life events?
