Welcome to the Comics and Cats Club!
1:00 PMHi, there! This is my first official post on Comics and Cats, which is pretty exciting. I am way stoked to start posting about books, cats, my adventures, clothes, and general awesome-ness on a regular basis! I figured I'd start with a little tour of my humble abode. This is where the nerd magic happens, people. My room is kind of like my personal masterpiece and most definitely my place to escape from the harsh realities of the outside world. I'm kind of running out of space for toys on my shelves, so a lot of them are (sadly) shoved under the bed in boxes or stored up in my closet! In a couple months, I'm planning on moving in with my partner in crime, James, and then we'll have a ton more room to display all of our various collections! Posters, art prints, statues, the whole deal. I will obviously do another room/apartment tour once that happens! For now, this is where I spend most of my time and keep all of my various knick knacks.
Those rainbow 75th anniversary Batman pop vinyls are one my favorite collections in my room! I also have a full set of lantern rings between them, if you look closely. That giant soot sprite pillow is from etsy and you can find it right here! The totoro pillow actually used to be a purse, but it broke. So I stuffed it and turned it into a pillow!
My little Studio Ghibli collection hangs out on my windowsill. Y'know those little candies that the soot sprites love in Spirited Away? Well, they're called Konpeito and they're very traditional and popular in Japan! I bought a bag from this seller for 3$! That Princess Mononoke pop vinyl was DIY. I made it using a blank pop mold,crayola air dry clay, acrylic paint, and faux fur! I even made her mask but Luna kept trying to eat it, so I had to stash it away.
So I have a thing for pop vinyls. Can you tell? I have way too many, so I interchange them ever couple months. Those Han and Leia silhouettes at the top of my wall are DIY, as well! Just printed them out on photo paper and bought the frames at Michaels. Always use photo paper for projects like that, because it doesn't start deteriorating the way normal printer paper does behind glass! You can also see some of my vintage Disney comics on my top shelf. My favorite is the Mickey Mouse club one because the colors are so unique. Little kids with blue and pink hair and pastel clothes!And have any of you been reading any of the new Star Wars Marvel comics? If not, you should, because they're excellent! The Leia and Lando one's are my personal favs.
Check out my little R2 luggage peeking out of the closet. It only holds about 5 things but I insist on bringing it on every trip anyway! It even has a button that makes little beep-boop noises. It's still in stock on the Disney Store site! Another one of my most favorite parts of my room is the haunted mansion stretching portrait hanging above my record player. And yes, ahem, I made it myself too! Super simple. Found the long, ornate-looking frame at Home Goods, saved an image of her, photoshopped it into 3 segments, and printed them out separately and then pieced them together with tape on the back. You cant tell unless you get super close up. I just love feeling like I have a little piece of one of my favorite Disney attractions here in my room.
That's really most of my little living space! I hope you all enjoyed this little introduction/walk about.
