Re-Introduction.

I feel like since I started to pick up this blog where I left it off last year, I feel like I need a whole new introduction. I feel like the girl that I was when I started this blog isn't exactly the same girl who is with you now. I started this blog, all I ever really intended on doing with this blog was to have it for my professional practice in VCA to show that I had an online presence. That I had somewhere other then tumblr to show my artwork. After that class was over, I was going to nothing with this blog. Nothing at all.

I didn't think that I would be able to keep up with a blog and that if people wanted to see my art that they could just see it on tumblr or something (kind of a foolish thought I know). Anyways, I tried keeping up with it and as a result I have already taken two really long hiatuses and not really a lot to show for them.

But as I already described in one of my previous blog posts, last year was a little rough. Things got a little intense and made it really hard to keep posting my work and making new and pretty pieces. I was in a slump! But not anymore.

So with that I decided that it felt appropriate to give you guys a new introduction.

So...

Hi Everyone,

My name is Katelynne Cagliostro and I am currently an Art and Art History student at the University of Toronto Mississauga.

• I have recently gotten into cosplaying and dressing up in the J-Fashion style called "Lolita". The picture above is me dressed up in lolita (also that is not my real hair, I wish it was though haha)
• I am currently living in a new apartment that I absolutely adore right now and I am living with my best friend of 7-8 years (give or take). We live with another girl who is in my friend's design program and she is super cool (she likes owls and Legend of Zelda...I think she's a keeper), as well as two super cute but super mischievous cats! 
• I am still addicted to tumblr. Not much has changed there! I'm always on tumblr and always getting inspiration from all the amazing things I see on tumblr
• I am very much inspired by the Japanese style called Mori Girl/ Mori Kei. It is so pretty and so effortless at the same time and it almost makes me feel like a little forest child. I absolutely adore it and I am very slowly trying to gear my own style towards that kind of look
• I'm am into botany and the study of plants. I like flowers a lot and I am a self proclaimed "flower child". I love flowers/plants and I always feel like I need some surrounding me. My Aunt owns her own flower shop and so they've always been around me. I would always stop into the shop to look at all the beautiful arrangements she makes and I even helped out with taking care of the flowers and cleaning them.
• I've become quite the tea addict. I don't even know how it happened but I am in love with tea and all of the different flavours. My absolute favourite flavour is strawberry cream. I find that when I'm depressed or just feel like I need some form of comfort, a nice cup of tea makes it all better. It's like a hug in a cup!
• I am still trying to figure out, at 22 years old what I want to do with my life. It's almost really depressing. But at least I know I want to work in the arts. I know that's where I belong. I am currently swaying between teaching art or being an art therapist. I really like helping people and making them feel better so I really think that art therapy would be my way of helping those who really need it. 

And yeah. Enough about me. I think that's a fairly reasonable introduction. You'll now end up learning more about me as time goes on and I start to post more. I hope that as I post more, you'll get a sense of the fun, quirky person that I can be! You'll see everything.

The good, the bad, and the ugly.

Because it's all me. Unfiltered and always growing.

...I'm going to stop now.

Toddles.
