Top 3 Songs of the week and DIY: Sophia and A lo’s- Superhero, "C'mon Let Me Ride" (Skylar Grey feat. Eminem) and Yes To Love Lyrics by Stefano Langone

When I feel stressed I try to keep myself extra busy. I find something to keep my mind off work, a diversion that helps me break my routine at work.  I noticed that when I do this I am more focused, determined and giddy to go back to work. I am a DIY person; I’d rather do it myself than pay. A friend once said “if you want good results get a professional”. I always tell them that I learn fast and I have the best teacher--- YouTube.  And besides I’ve always wanted to learn arts and crafts.

I have so many pictures at home, from friends, pictures I took ages ago when I was still trying to learn photography and piles of pictures from family. I also love to collect picture frames and seeing this DIY inspired me to try it myself in the hopes of saving money.

Photo on Canvas :

This is how I did it:

1.            You will need  stretched canvas (I chose an 8x10 size and 3x3 size), Elmers all Purpose glue, paint brush, loofa  and the image you want to on your canvas (laser copy please) and  spray bottle with water in it.

2.            Your image will print reversed. Cover on heavy Glue coat your canvas.

3.            Lay your photo onto the canvas and let it dry overnight.

4.            Once dried, use a spray bottle to wet the top of the paper.

5.            Remove the surface with your fingers or with a loofa  until the paper start to come off. When pieces start coming up your image will be revealed.

6.            Be patient,  and yes it will be a little messy! Don’t rub too hard as this can remove your transfer on accident.

7.            Cover your canvas with one more coat of Glue to seal and protect the image.

That ceiling fan with light bulbs all over it is bulky ,wastes electricity and can attract unwanted dust and dirt . So I decided to make one, it’s economical and gives your space that color, edge and  It’s also light weight.  Presenting the

 String Pendant Lamp :

Supplies:

1 x 90cm Balloon (You can buy these from your local party shop or at Sta. Ana near Chimes )

2 x Balls of cooking twine or jute string (whatever colour you want your light shade to be)

Gloves

Round Plate

Vaseline

Scissors

Sticky Tape

Black Permanent Marker

PVA Wood Glue

Cornstarch

Water

Medium sized container to hold the Fabric Stiffener glue

Wire insert from old light shade (make sure it will be big/small enough to suit your light shade size)

Bulb set

How to make your paper glue:

300ml Elmer’s all purpose glue

8 Tbsp Cornstarch

1/2 Cup Warm Water

1.       mix cornstarch and warm water until dissolved. Add the wood glue.  Stir.

2.       This should be more than enough glue for a 50cm string pendant light. You may have some left over.

3.       The next step is to blow your balloon up to the desired size , make sure you have extra balloons incase this pops. 

4.       Draw (or trace a circle using your round plate) around big enough to fit your hand through onto the balloon using the marker.  This is how you will remove your balloon later and change your light bulbs.

5.       Get a basin to help you when maneuvering your balloon, the basin will keep it in place and will also avoid the mess.

6.       Wear  gloves and slather the balloon with Vaseline. This will stop the string from sticking when dry and make it easier  for you to remove the balloon later.

7.       Tie the end around the knot of the balloon securely so it doesn't come undone later on. Now the fun begins. Now start  randomly pacing the glue soaked string, abaca etc. around the balloon - horizontally and vertically. Try to not to miss a section in the balloon. The more string the less light will show through.

8.       Be patient and let it dry. Try not to let it dry in the sun but in a warm, shady spot. Again be patient and let it dry completely.

9.       A soon as the glue has dried,  paint the strings with an acrylic paint (water based paint).

10.   Again be patient and let it dry for a few hours.

11.   Finally Pop the balloon.!

"C'mon Let Me Ride"

(Skylar Grey feat. Eminem)

And the wheels go round and round and round...

If you got a sweet tooth,

You can taste my watermelons

If the swing set bores you

I can show you all my talents

I can wear a tan like other bitches can't

You can have all this, boy!

And there's only one thing that I want from you

Come on, let me ride your bicycle

It's so fantastical on your bicycle

We can get a little more physical

Baby, after all, it's only natural

I feel it coming, coming, coming, oh

I feel it running, running, running, oh

Come on, let me ride your bicycle

It's so fantastical on your bicycle

You want to ride my bicycle

You want to ride my bike

If the world starts freezing, I can make it hot and humid

If you get a bee-sting, I can suck out all the poison

I can make you last like all the bitches can't

Have I made it clear, boy?

There's only one thing that I want from you, hey!

Come on, let me ride your bicycle

It's so fantastical on your bicycle

We can get a little more physical

Baby, after all, it's only natural

I feel it coming, coming, coming, oh

I feel it running, running, running, oh

Come on, let me ride your bicycle

It's so fantastical, on your bicycle

I'm only fucking with you

Fuck you for thinking it's true

I'm not like the sluts in this town

They make me blehh in my mouth

I wanna ride on your bike

'Cause you're the boy that I like

It's like I'm a sell out for you

But your bike's so shiny and new, shiny and new

She's distracted by my reflectors, man, I can tell the chick's attracted

My wheels spoke to her, my Schwinn is a chick magnet

Bagging up chicks like a bag of chips

With a bag of prophylactics as big as Mick Jagger lips

Shagging's something I'm a pro at, but I ain't practicing shit

Allen Iverson has safe sex, condoms are for practice, man, I skip practice

Flip backwards while I flip this bike on its banana seat

My fantasy's to have you land where the kick stand is

Got this bitch gagging, they call me the broad killer

I'm the cousin of Godzilla

'Cause I spit fire and my dick is draggin'

Zig-zaggin' up the avenue, pulling these chicks in my antagonist wagon,

Screamin'...

Come on, let me ride your bicycle

It's so fantastical on your bicycle

We can get a little more physical

Baby, after all, it's only natural

I feel it coming, coming, coming, oh

I feel it running, running, running, oh

Come on, let me ride your bicycle

It's so fantastical on your bicycle

You want to ride my bicycle

You want to ride my bike

 Yes To Love Lyrics by Stefano Langone

 (Verse)

The first time I saw you coming through that door

I remember every detail down to the clothes you wore

Such a vision baby, like nothing I’ve seen before

Looking at you now I’d say for sure

(Chorus)

It was the best day of my life

‘Cause ever since you everything’s right

Yea, the best days of my life are all ahead

‘Cause we both said yes to love

Yes to love, yes to love, yes to love,

The best day

(Verse)

No other day before this can compare

The way I see you baby like a vision standing there

Hallelujah comes to mind, there’s never been a better time

And with right here I know

(Chorus)

Cause maybe it’s the best day of my life

‘Cause ever since you everything’s right

Yea, the best days of my life are all ahead

‘Cause we both said yes to love

Yes to love, yes to love, yes to love

Yes to love, yes to love, yes to love

The best day

(Verse)

Nobody knows how faith works in your life

People come and go from time to time

And you could’ve made a left turn and now you’re right

And you could be out with someone else tonight

(Chorus)

And I’d have missed the best day of my life

I’d have missed the best day of my life

The best days of my life are all ahead

‘Cause we both said yes to love

Yes to love, yes to love, yes to love

Yes to love, yes to love, yes to love

The best day
