When Avatar: The Last Air Bender came out, I thought it was the epitome of what animation should be. Then along came The Legend of Korra to rocket the standard to new heights. This nail set it my ode to the antagonists of Book 3, the Red Lotus, as well as their peaceful predecessors, the White Lotus.
While these eggs cannot produce dragons, no matter how much you heat them (and I do advise STRONGLY against this, flammable materials and all), you can still feel like a khaleesi snuggling up to these crocheted dragon eggs, inspired by Game of Thrones. It’s an intermediate level pattern. And best of all, it’s completely free!

Phew, that title’s a doozy. Anyway, on to the boring, technical stuff. I used this watercolor manicure tutorial from Bellezza Bee, but modified it slightly to get the look I wanted. I’ll probably do my own walkthrough at a later date, after I’m finished with the decal tutorial, which has been photographed and just needs…
Tumblr, I want you to know that you ruin me sometimes. Three months ago I was just a normal semi-normal mostly-normal-for-show kinda gal, going about my business. Then all this stuff started showing up in my dash. “What is Night Vale?” I asked, then downloaded, and then it was all over. It’s an overused phrase, but I…
My no calorie solution to a lack of baked goods in my life. Artistically satisfying, but my stomach disagrees. There are tiny dings all over this manicure.
