Sculpey
So I love Scupley(most popular brand of polymer clay). Its easy to use, and what's better than clay you can just pop in the oven?
The tiniest cupcake!
Fortune cookies..
Burgers in various sizes...
A bloody necklace :)
Some bacon..the side view looks like inch worms..;)
And...a buttered waffle!

Nothing can stop me now
My goal is to someday open my own tattoo studio. Tattooing is my dream, my passion; and I am devoted to it.
I began an apprenticeship in August of 2008. My mentor was about as sharp as a marble. He was an awful teacher, made his girlfriend speak for him, and was highly pretentious.
My apprenticeship was not a total loss though, thanks to the help of other artists such as
Brian Johnson and Jason Dymond. They both taught me the significance of cleanliness, neatness and sanitation; though watching how my mentor took care of his tubes, also taught me what I should never do...such as leaving ink in tubes that are to be sterilized.
My mentor also demonstrated to me how effortlessly it is to deceive someone that has put a lot of both time and money into something when you are not the one running the show.
However, leaving the shop has benefited me in multiple ways.
I work with my piercing partner, Chris Sonzogni. His story is similar to my own, and apprenticed at the same shop. Working from our home studio has become very comfortable, and gives us both a chance to do business on our own schedules. My clients always come back for more, and tattooing people I am familiar with is most rewarding. :)

Hello All!
Well I doubt this will be read, as it is my very first blog & therefore my first blog post, but I suppose an introduction is in order. I am Holly, also known as Cupcake. I began an apprenticeship in tattooing at the end of August, in 2008; so, lets say Ive been tattooing about a year and a half.
Aside from tattooing, I have drawn and painted all of my life. More recently have I begun to sew, and even more recently I have been attempting to crochet and needle felt. Once in a while I'll make a mini sculpture(necklace, earrings, phone charms..) or two, or maybe ten.
So, my first blog to showcase my work and see if anyone else in this world finds me the least bit interesting; or even if you find me severely uninteresting, let me know. :)
