Hey there!
I had been fairly busy ever since the 21st, since we rescued a tiny kitten on that day and have to feed him & take much, much care of the little boy. But I love him so much and I wouldn*t want it any other way. ;) His name is Orion*!
That was actually a reason to work on something for him. To honour him and give him some feedback music (and maybe he will fall asleep when he hears it ...)! I might work on more art concerning him (I*d LOVE to draw/paint him on a canvas / piece of paper!!), because he really is a little muse for me :).
If you want to listen to the song, here it is. What do you think?
And with this, I shall vanish again :).
Have a great time, until the next time~!!

Radikale Selbstliebe in Form einer Bibel :).
Heyho, my little pirates *ARRR*! :D
How are you all? *group hugs* I have been feeling quite unproductive recently, so I decided to take a break from the internet, which I didn*t succeed in for real but still I also focused on other things, so I got some things done. Maybe some of you know about the "Radical Self-Love" movement that Gala Darling started, and if you know this, you probably know about the "Radical Self-Love Bible", which I must admit I just made for myself.
I often struggle with self-doubt, if not self-loathing, and therefore I decided I would make this Radical Self-Love Bible for myself, in order to lift my spirits a little. So far, I created a front page, and two double pages on characteristics of mine. :) This might be far from "perfect", but then again, it is not perfection we should be striving for. ^^
Here are some pictures I took today :
This is the RSLB from the outside. I bought it like this but I also plan to beautify it a little more :). I love the Zen feeling I get when looking at it, too.
This is the front page and ... Yeah ... I accidentally wrote "Bibel" (German for "bible") instead of "Bible", but once again, what is it with perfection? Hm? Screw it :P!
"Authentic" is the first double page. I cut out this picture in the center and ... I used super fast glue to glue it to the page ("Kra!", goes the crow : "Mistake!"). But once again, screw perfection. It only makes me sad because the pages tend to stick together ALL THE TIME. Is there any way to remove this effect? I am quite unsure ...
"Empathetic". Yes, that is Sailor Moon (Favourite anime/manga character of all time! OF ALL TIME!! :D). Yes, I drew that myself. Yes, free-handedly. :)
"Imaginative". There is this card I made for my solo music project (Valley Visionary) that I glued (This time not with super fast super sticky glue!) to the right page. I cut out one part of this card and wrote something into it. I think it is just "Imaginative = Rina! :)". And it is sad that some things don*t show well enough here, like the moon and the sun and the clouds and the stars ;).
I really think there is much more to work on in this project, and maybe some pages will need to get re-vamped a little. But so far I like it.
What do you think of my RSLB? & what would you put into a Radical Self-Love Bible? :)

Distraction
Hello!!
I have been going through a time when I was really depressive lately and didn*t have the will nor drive to do something creative. Somehow I have overcome it by taking some words to my heart, allowing them to pass by the super highway towards my thoughts, so that they can wipe out some doubts. Knowing me, it being over now forever would be too easy, but I sincerely hope I will use my new way of dealing with it in the right time ...
Anyways, I have been working on music a lot, both trying to figure out how to play certain songs (I would call it "tabbing", but I didn*t actually TAB anything, I just tried to find out how to play them on the guitar ^^.) and writing my own song ... It was mainly just ONE song, so no plural is needed I guess. I also found out that some of my older uploads are not available anymore, yaaay. :(
So yesterday I had the idea to write a poem, and make it up as I go. I called it "Distraction" because ... Ah, you will know!

Distraction
I will try to understand
All the things I can and can*t,
I vow for me to see the beauty
Not by claiming! More than duty!
Tolerant and open-minded
That is it, so please don*t fight it!
Flowers growing into heaven,
Amps that go up to eleven,
Movies that are oddly funny!
Music! Manga! Dark is sunny!
I see myself, and I see you,
I wonder always, how do you do?
If possible, I*ll grab your hand,
Fly up with you to wonderland,
Being utopic shows potential
Of that that might be influential,
And even if you see it not,
Think of it as the soft spot
Of Earth, of water, air, and fire!
Here*s my donkey, Mister Meyer.
And if he*s noisy in the morning,
Please be gentle, it*s no warning.
It is just what donkeys need to do
In need to express their love for you.

((Fun fact, though, I have been wanting a donkey that I could call "Mister Meyer" for 10 years now or so - no joke.))
Also, the poem is the second written for a challenge (101/1001), and I somehow like it ... ^o^

New series in this blog! ANNOUNCEMENT!!
Heyheyheeeyyy!
Okay, so I will start working with the fabric (panne velvet) I bought recently soon, but I wanted to stop by to quickly announce something new.
I want to start a "How to" series here, too. I have some ideas on tutorials I could post already, too. If you would like to read about how I happen to write songs (I know there are people doing it in a different way, and that*s fine. I just want to teach you "my way" to do so :).), or if you want to learn how to build a web site, or if you want to learn knitting, ... You will be happy :)!!
I don*t know the title yet, but I hope you will enjoy it. After all, I think this is more of interaction with other people, and we all can learn something new along this way! Learning is cool!! :D
Many greetings from this place of planet Earth,
~Rina

FABRIC FABRIC FABRIC!!! :)
Hey guys.
My thumb is feeling better, although I can still see the wound (I can even (SLIGHTLY!) pull up the part of my fingernail which got hurt and look underneath it, but that*s beside the point :P!). I am not wearing any band-aid anymore, and am also not feeling bad anymore because of the vaccination, harhar.
This week (I think even TODAY!) we plan on getting some fabric to make things out of (That is what you do with fabric, isn*t it? YOU MAKE THINGS OUT OF IT!!), and I really am thinking about posting a tutorial in that relation, but I am not sure whether this would be okay with the owners of the patterns / instructions I*d do this with. It is solely FOR ME, though, I am not going to sell these things or anything ;^^;. It is just, I never sewed anything; I once tried to sew ears onto stuffed animals (horses), and I completely failed because I have never done this before and was too proud to tell anybody about this circumstance :\. Yaaay? -___-
So, what would I like to make? I really want to get some fabric to either make a skirt of OR a pullover (I know pullovers are often knitted, but this one*s sewn and like a hoodie (SP?). I will at least present the result of my hard, hard work, AND I will link to where I found the pattern or instruction. :) I hope you will like it!! ^_~
(OH, btw, you Germans ... "Fabric" means (Textil-)"Stoff" in German and not "Fabrik" (This would be "factory", as a ... matter of fact *places sunglasses on her nose* *DUUUH*!!) Okay, I will leave. ;)

Lame excuses? Thumbs up!!
Stupid Rina. Stupid, stupid ME. Yesterday, I cut myself accidentally with an axe. Don*t worry, my thumb is okay, but it is still hurting sometimes - when touching stuff -, and I don*t really have the will to draw anything right now. I am sorry.
I promise I will get back to doing something with this blog as soon as possible, especially since it means a lot to me, and I couldn*t get this out of my mind.
On the lighter side : On Friday, we found a great place to buy fabric at ... Not online, no. It is very close to where I live. Am looking forward to working with awesome fabric and presenting you the benefits of sewing ;)!!
Much love from me at this point!
