My Violet Delights: May 2014

Back to Black

Autumn has finally set in, so I am taking advantage of it while it last. I am still loving monochrome. However as you can see, black is definitely more dominant.

Fawn Silhouette Canvas

(Quick side note. The fur on the little deer and fawn is NOT real).

Hello beautifuls,

I thought today would be a wonderful day to try out something creative an share it with you all.

What you will need:

Black spray paint
White paint
Paint brush
Paper masking tape
Scissors
A silhouette style picture you would like to use as a stencil
Canvas
A timber table to make your pictures look slightly hipster

Paint your canvas white or whatever background colour you have chosen. This make require a few layers.
Cut out your stencil and masking tape it to your page. I have also rolled little pieces of tape up and used them as double sided tape. I then placed these in ares of the stencil that might lift up whilst spraying.

3. Place newspaper under your canvas, unless you want to decorate your grass with spray paint like I did. Spray your canvas filling in the stenciled area.

4. Leave your canvas to dry for 30 minutes.

5. Take off the paper and masking tape. Place in desired area in which you wish to enhance your decor.

6. Bask in the glow of your own creativity.

I have almost finished university for the semester, so there will be a lot more posts and videos over the next month. Hope you have a fabulous day.

Hello beautifuls,

If you follow my Instagram or tumblr you'd probably already know that a couple of weeks ago I went on a little trip. During this trip my fabulous friend Molly took photos of me. So finally here they are. Thank you very much to Molly for taking these. Her various social link will be at the bottom.

I honestly love taking photos in gardens. I will spend forever trying to get the perfect shot of everything that I see.

I was rather excited about taking photos of this outfit in particular because this top was designed and made me. I was feeling really inspired by higher necklines and fall colours. Crushed velvet fabric also looks really 90's to me, which I am constantly being inspire by at the moment. Not to mention crushed velvet looks and feels pretty awesome. Nothing goes better with crushed velvet than leather, or in my case faux leather.
