Hey, Soul Sister!

My dear friend Sammie and I made this video to the song Hey, Soul Sister by Train on Saturday. {And we took the song to mean friendship, not romance, in this case. It's a bit awkward. But hey, we like the song and we didn't have a guy handy!} I had lots of fun with the stop-motion animation! As for the random cat at the end... it's Willa, and we had no ideas. (Hence the shortened song, too.)
Heehee. We're so weird. Especially when it comes to dancing. *blushes*

Then, on Sunday, my other soul sister Elránia came over. Elránia and I went to a few vintage clothing stores and had wayyyy too much fun with trying on my entire closet when we got back! Hello, high fashion. :P

(With the exception of the first two photos, that we put together ourselves, we designed each others' outfits.)


I had fun with Photoshop...



After this, we were feeling kinda bored, so Elránia requested I come up with an idea for "something creative we can do".
I said, "let's do portraits of each other."
I made Elránia into a faery. I always do that. :)
{Note: There is a good reason I usually don't do hands. Or feet. Or foreshortening. You have been warned.}

  1. That was crazy! I help my friend record herself singing when we meet up usually and it usually ends with both of us singing stupidly {hey, it comes naturally to me!} and dancing weirdly. :)

  15. Hey Olive Tree. I just wanted your advice on something. Is a Kodak Point and Shoot a good camera? You see I lost my prehistoric camera and I need a new one {Hopefully a good one} and I want your advice.

  16. Alex: I had a Kodak P&S once upon a time, and it was a piece of junk. If you're looking for a good point-and-shoot camera, I recommend the Sony Cybershot, with at least 7.2 megapixels.

    Hope that helps. :)

  17. Ok thanks Olive Tree. My friend has a Kodak P&S and she seems to like it. Well since I'm getting a camera for my b-day it won't hurt. But I'll get a lot of money so I'll get a better camera with my own money.

  23. You know like you don't want people to know your website because it has your full name? On your Etsy, it has your website, blog, and featured area, and it's www.olivia*******.com so...

  24. Hey Olive Tree! I was just wondering if you could tell me how you made the date above your blog posts (for example: saturday, august 2, 2010) in lower-case letters and what font it is in? Please let me know! Thanks!
