Be Magnificent

I think I figured it out. That is, ahem, why everyone loves the Doctor. Why I love the Doctor. (I'm sorry, if you're not farmiliar with Doctor Who, because this is not going to make sense, but you might enjoy reading it anyway [I hope].)

He's a good man. He's just so good.

He's a Doctor. It's in the name, the name he chose. Never cowardly or cruel. Never give up. Never give in.  He's kept that promise for a thousand years. He doesn't leave the ones he loves, because he's got no where to go, just running.

And he loves everyone. He believes in everyone. There has never been a human being that wasn't important, and he loves them all. He'd sacrifice himself in an instant if it meant that he could stop a genocide or save the Earth, the Universe, all of space-time, the future, the past, a single human that thinks she doesn't matter.

Everyone loves the Doctor because he tells you that you can be magnificent, that you are magnificent. He makes you feel that way because even though he's a thousand years old, he's been protecting the Earth, the future, your future, all that time.

And he is magnificent.

(Also it might have something to do with the fact that he's hilarious and nerdy and lovable and adorable and has a freaking TARDIS. But that doesn't sound as good.)

awesome stuff I've recently made

My wall collage is almost done. I've been working on it for like a year since I moved my room to the basement and it has been really fun to just work on it when I'm bored. Now I  just have to finish a couple pieces of art I'm working on so I can hang them up!

(Left to right from the top: dichotamus key to benthic macroinvetebrates, watercolor painting from at class in March 2012, flag of Nerdfighteria, My Neighbor Totoro Thingy, cardioid, 3D papercraft ampersand [&], TFiOS cover, [blue w/ clouds], color pencil tree drawing, my name in3D papercraft typography, owls, swirls, triangle sharpie drawing inspired by Vihart, DFTBA collage, Richard Feynman collage, various lines are Washi tape. This will probably have a post of its own soon.)

Necklaces! So Karen Kavett is a graphic designer that makes awesome videos on YouTube. The necklaces were inspired by her a lot. I made this ampersand necklace with a bottle cap, but couldn't really wear it because the cap wasn't heavy enough to keep it from flopping all over.

A couple days ago I went over to my friend Fiona's house for a sleepover. We made some charms out of beads and old buttons. I was really happy with how they turned out, but I already have a gazillion key chains.

So…

I love them! I think my favorite one might be the one that says loud/big on the bead (they have words on both sides). 

I love making awesome stuff!
