Welcome

Welcome to my arts and crafts blog. I wanted a place separate from my photography blog where I can talk about art, crafts, DIY and my latest passion, Pinterest. I am not opposed to talking about Photography here also. I want a place where other bloggers can upload what they have made or join in discussions about anything creative. No judgement please on photography uploaded from anyone as I for one plan to use my phone on a lot of tutorials. I know a lot of blogs have beautiful photography and that is great if you have the time but sometimes it is just easier to capture it on your phone for example's sake.

Did it work?

One of my first pins was a tutorial on beachy hair waves.  This appealed to me as I alternate between letting my hair go natural (no style), straighten it and curling it.  Both straightening and curling take soooooooooooo long and I am always looking for ways to spend less time on getting ready.  The following is the original tutorial and then I show you with my phone camera (yes bad pictures) whether it worked or not.

Here is the original tutorial and idea.

I tried it!  I have to say I liked my results better when I braided my hair versus twisting it.  Twisting gave me a crimped look and braided gave me the wave.




Results for me, I loved it because it was so fast.  I just made two braids, one on each side.  Went down on each one with the iron and voila!   I put gloss on my hair after this photo and the waves still lasted hours.

DISCLAIMER:  Results will differ from hair to hair but this is something that worked for my hair and especially in the sense of saving time..........lots of it!

Tomorrow I want to try the chalk on the hair for a temporary fun color like Pink or Purple
